Thanks for all the pointers your a foodie genius!!

What was the mistake??

I'm so excited I get to eat snacks again!! I don't think anyone truly understand how excited I am!! :D

I agree 100000000% Yes we CAN get through this!! I really think I need to made a help I'm hangry group hahaha!! I thought hangry just applied to me lolz :P

Mmmm can't even remember the last time I had candy!! There's a lot I need to change!! Thanks everyone for all your help :)

Do you get all your protein sources through food or those horrid shakes?? I really can't get past the taste of the shakes :/ what proteins do you normally consume a day of you don't mind me asking?

Yeah I'll have to start doing the whole night snack thing!! I also think I need to teach everyone my hangry song! Yummy!!! I think I'm gunna have to steal your snack idea!! Sounds delicious!! :D

Yeah I'll have to start doing the whole night snack thing!! I also think I need to teach everyone my hangry song!

Ahhhhhhh I like your thinking!!! Yeah if I eat in the morning it tends to make me feel sick.. Especially before work at around 5:30 am kills me!! That is advice I will definitely be taking on board :D

Yummmmmmmmm!! Greek yogurt is scrumdidilyumcious!! And man I do love blueberries.. I'm not sure where you're from but atm here in Australia we steering clear from berries for awhile as there was a health scare with berries that get imported to us:/ what type of nuts do you recommend??

You know the song I want candy? I have changed the words to " all I know is that I'm hangry" it's real catchy once you get the hang of it.. Normally flips my mood around.. Unless someone else songs it to me haha

Haha we are only human after all!! Give me ribs dripping with bbq sauce every night and I'd be the happiest girl in the world!! I just really have to stop winging it and plan better!! Let's face it I'm a grazer aswell ;)

Okay I'll start eating more and see how it works :) everyone has been a massive help tonight :)

I don't know what it is.. I think I'm like no Paula have some will power woman!! (Yes I did just refer to myself in 3rd person) hahaha!! So I try and hold off than BOOM hangry!! So then I don't want any food.. It's a really hard process!! Also in a way my job has trained me to withhold food from my system as somedays I…

Ohhhhhh man your post literally made me salivate!! You're speaking right to my cravings sister!! So really the trick is to eat more (healthish foods) and be active??

Hahahaha!!! I know exactly what you mean.. When you hangry there is nothing food can do for you anymore!! You're so hungry that you feel sick so you become miss cranky pants!! I'll stick to the planning like yourself so the hangry monster no longer gets released into the world :P

Yeah sometimes I feel guilty eating as much as I used to because it's what made me gain weight in the first place.. Gotta snap into it and get a healthy mid set!! As long as exercise is incorporated I should be fine :)

Oh okay.. So would your typical day be 3 meals and 3 snacks?

Yeah I think I may incorporate that into my plan!! Fitness isn't easy to achieve you literally have t make it a lifestyle!! Snacks are great just have to remember to have more of them!!

Hahaha trust me if you wanna see hangry, just talk to me on an extremely hangry day ;) I really have to get this planning organised!! Do you have a food diary or anything like that?

No I rarely eat back the calories I've burned.. Probably never actually.. I have a lot of planning to do! Thanks for all your help!! Sometimes it feels like another thing I have to worry about on top of everything else!! I know I shouldn't feel like that but somedays it's very difficult to stay motivated!! It's good to…

Trail mix is the nuts? I'm going to be honest I've never really ate nuts before.. I had paranoid parents who never let me go near then (in fear of allergies) haha!! So they we never really interested me.. What's in a trail mix? Is it just nuts or is there extras?

The stress of study is horrible!! Goodluck with your masters by the way :) I see what you mean!! When I used to eat pasta if go back for 2nds sometimes 3rds.. And man do I love my sauce on EVERYTHING!!!! Crockpots are great aren't they!! Best invention ever!! What does whole grain pasta taste like?

I understand 110% it's like a catch 22.. You feel good for sticking to the plan and doing what you though was right.. But the hunger pains make you regret it a little haha!

Calorie goal is currently 1600 but I'll admit I rarely hit it as I said I feel full during the day.. It's the night that's really my problem.. My target rate is 0.5kg a week (not sure what it is in lb) The problem my also be rarely hitting my calorie target and then exercising on top of that?

That is me right now!! And I feel like I'm blaming all this on my busy schedule (as I hoped I never would) it is hard to balance studies and a full time job though I'll admit!! My fibre intake is pretty poor I'll admit!! I'll get that up as well!! Thankyou so much for your advice!! It's good to get someone else's…

Phew so it's not just me! Mmmm popcorn! Do you eat organic or regular popcorn? The cucumber and cream cheese sandwich sound nice too!! I think the problem is I don't have a buddy.. I either have real fit athletic friends or those friends who don't really want to listen to your problems but they talk about their own all day…

Usually throughout the day I'm satisfied and feel like I've ate enough.. But then at night time I'm starving again.. :/ any snacks you can suggest? Or an eating plan?

No I don't have a binge eating disorder (well not that I know of).. I try and work it out the best I can.. According to what I work out I'm always over carbs, eat enough fats and under protein a smidgen.. I usually feel satisfied with my meals but then when it comes to sleeping I cannot stop thinking about food.. It's so…

I need to lose 4kg I'm pretty sure that's 10lb or close to!! We can do this ladies and gentleman!! :)
