    First, are you sure you're eating enough? What is your calorie goal, what is your goal for weight loss each week, and what are you actually losing per week?

    If your calorie goal is sufficient, have you tried just saving calories for later in the evening?

    You're waking up hungry because you aren't eating enough. 1,200 is the minimum amount of calories most women should eat and you're at that *and* losing faster than expected. Choose a more reasonable goal for weight loss per week and you'll get more calories per day. This should help.
