Glad to hear you will be seeing your doctor. If increased hunger bothers a person so much that they would rather stay in a deficit and lose weight they do not need to, that seems to call out for professional attention. The phrase "I will try again at some point" is concerning- a person can't stay in a deficit indefinitely, and what happens to your body & health in the meantime? Wish you the best4

Thank you, I do have a plan of sorts and it starts with the dr, I think I might need to talk a lot before I get the strength to actually change.4 -

Ask your doctor for a referral to a therapist and a dietitian. You don't need to live like this.3 -
I think they are planning to refer me, I’m quite positive about the idea of a therapist, the dietitian makes me nervous.4

Found a kind of depressing newer study that shows that even after maintaining weight loss for 2 years, weight reduced Severely Obese people ,who lost weight with diet and exercise still had massively elevated drive to eat. I don't know where you started, but for people like me, bmi greater than 40, it does not bode well for long term maintenance. Whats funny is I can actually relate to what that state in this study. I do get full quicker than I did a year ago, but get hungry very quickly afterward. So, for now, I white knuckle on. I hope the best for you and find your happy place! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29360396
**EDIT** I am still sub 10% bf most likely, so it might get better as I slowly bulk. I keep trying, but honestly, like many, we are scared of regain.
