Not sure what to write really - am nearly 19 stone, (am 22) and have tried so hard today and am still starving - any suggestions? I would be very grateful - not used to not eating pizza / crisps / chocolate on a friday night! lol x

    I started a few ago. When I started logging my food and was trying to stay under my cals for the day I found that I wqas still hungry too. It gets better trust me. Its just that ur stomaache is use to eating whatever u want, and when u eat less to do ur cal counter its not filling it. so try and give it alittle bite I think this is my 2nd full week and I think my stomache is fill shriking to the size that I need it to bc ive been pretty content with how much im allowed to eat! Good luck hun. Stay postive! you can add me as a friend if u would like! :smile:

    I know it is hard to let go of the junk food, but there is so much good food out there that is healthy for you. I have a newfound passion for thai spring rolls. So yummy! and low in calories too!! Keep up the good work! :)

    It takes awhile to get used to it. Eventually you will find food you like that doesn't have so many calories, but still fills you up.

    Welcome. To both of you. I'm new to this site specifically, but I've been logging and tracking calories on LS for a long while. I just stumbled onto this site and joined for the helluvit.

    @Nat - You should never feel like your starving. Hell, you should never starve yourself in the first place. This is a good site for support from what I can tell. That's why I joined. To offer suggestions and whatnot. Remember any food you usually eat can still be eaten. It will just be modified with healthy alternatives to make it taste just as good, but without all of the bad stuff. I'm not sure what suggestions to offer since the only thing I could tell you, based on your intro, is to have a healthy snack in between meals so you're never feeling empty.

    The 1st attempt at switching up your diet and/or lifestyle is always overwhelming. Another thing you can do to start off, is to just literally add fruit and vegetables to your meals. Eating them along with what you normally eat should make you fuller faster.

    Anything else you need specific suggestions for, let me know.
