for the past 3 or 4 months I have been eating less than 100 calories a day. In the last two weeks I have eaten what I want when I want as a bday treat u could say. Now I want to go back to the below 1000 calories limit but I don't want to fill my tummy full of diet coke or any carbonated drinks. I want to feel the hunger properly and bare it. Does anybody have sensible ideas to keep motivated during the day when temptation hits so strong?

I find always having chopped carrots, celery, broccoli, grape tomatoes always around me helps greatly with the munchies. I also snack on pickles when I'm craving something salty. If I need a chocolate fix I'll have one dark chocolate Hershey kiss and let it slowly melt in my mouth. Just because we choose to eat less than 1000 calories doesn't mean we have to be deprived. It just means we have to be clever! Good luck!0

I'm guessing you meant less than 1000 a day, not 100?!?!? :noway:
I highly recommend timing your eating... it has worked amazingly well for me in the past. Make sure you eat every 2 to 3 hours, whether you are hungry or not. An apple, a small salad, a few almonds, whatever fruits/veggies you like best. Once you adjust, you should really never have any bad hunger pains, at least I didn't.

I liked the low fat cheese sticks. They had 8gm protein and only 50-70 calories( depending on the brand)
I keep several in the fridge at work, for quick snacks0 -
Instant oatmeal and instant cream of wheat. It's sweet, filling, nutritious and cheap. One serving of cream of wheat (I like the chocolate) is 130 calories and has 50% of your iron for the day, as well as more vitamins than oatmeal. Usually one packet is an entire meal for me. If I've been out running before breakfast I might have two, and then I'm so full I don't want anything until lunch.0

Splenda-sweetened bread-and-butter pickles. And cigarettes.0
