    I'm stuffed :laugh: ... try padding your food out with veg, your belly feels fuller, but the calories don't shoot up.

    i always add a lot of veggies too, it fills me up. You can do this, just keep in focus what you really want and you can change you! Trust me I know :) I was 196 and I'm 124 now :)

    drink a glass of water before you eat

    add green veggies to your meals, filling for low calories

    it usually takes about 2 weeks to get your appetite in check when you start changing you eating habits. so stick it out

    lastly, make sure you are eating enough, what is your suggested calorie intake if you are losing 1lbs a week vs 2lbs?

    You can do it! At night when I feel like I will snack, I drink decalf coffee with a teaspoon of sugar free creamer. It works for me

    I felt like that yesterday (day 13 for me) it's horrible but you just have to think about why you're doing this :) and try to distract yourself!

    If you get hungry, drink a full glass of water. You may only be thirsty. If your still feel hungry after 20 min. try a hand full of almonds, grapes, a peice of string cheese. You are strong - you got this!

    Hang in there, I am sure it is harder living in the dorms, my daughter is also in college, she is a sophomore and in a apartment this year, so that helps. When you are in the cafe, make the best choices you can, are there hard boiled eggs?. Oatmeal is always a good breakfast, add almonds or walnuts to get some protein in. Do you have a refrigerator? Get some Greek yogurt, protein will help keep you full. Try to limit the starchy veggies, the white stuff, bread, rice, baked potato's. If you can eat the green veggies, they are nutrient full, and will help keep you full. If you can, get some protein powder, and make protein shakes.
    Don't give up, you can do it!! My daughter has lost just over 42 pounds since august, living the college live. Oh, stay away from alcohol, it is a lot of empty calories, that from the mom in me. keep us posted!

    Don't count your days!! This should be a lifestyle change and not a "diet"!! Just make smart choices and remember that you are going to feel much better as each day goes by!!!

    Is it hard because you are hungry or missing junk food?

    Keep plugging away at it, and if you go off the rails, climb right back up. It doesn't take perfection, but it does take consistency.

    This is day like 3,000 or something for me.

    I don't know what you are doing in terms of calories per day, but you are going to give up if you are being too restrictive. When it comes to weight loss -- always have long term sustainability in the forefront of your mind.
