Does anyone else associate weight loss with the feeling of being hungry? or maybe its the feeling of your stomach not being completely full, if that makes sense
I eat a ton of volumist foods/meals and even though Im hitting my goals, I sometimes dont -> feel <- like I am making progress because I am hardly ever hungry.
Just a thought

It’s because your meeting those macronutrients. I’ve lost 60lbs, at the start I would feel very hungry due to still eating unhealthy options that kept me unsatisfied, however after eating more enriched food such as chicken rice etc I always felt full for like the past 40lbs lost, just have cravings (which I let myself have if I really want and just fit it in the caloric weekly goal)1

Today when I got up I felt very bloated and expected a gain on the scale and was beyond shocked to see a loss of over 1lb. Lol0

Sounds like you are doing it right. I specifically make an effort to hit my goals and -not- feel hungry. If I feel hungry I will eventually give in and eat, usually as an early morning binge. I've only been a few days back on my 20% max net carbs, 30% min protein diet for a few days and so far I'm feeling pretty full on less than 2500 calories per day.

I used to, a long time ago. I was proud of myself if my stomach rumbled from hunger because I assumed I was being forced to burn fat. I just didn't really understand how it actually works.0

Generally it takes a few weeks to retrain your stomach/get used to smaller volume. I found that it now takes less volume for me to feel satisfied, and a few weeks after cutting back to three meals a day /no snacking, it takes longer before I feel hungry3
