MommyC--- just choose the healthier things, and watch portion sizes! It's okay to dine out and enjoy yourself, you can still make healthier choices!
Elma-- I actually re-weighed this morning and saw 122.8! HAHA! So was pretty stoked. I can get hungry sometimes, or get the munchies, but I try to make good choices for meals that will stick with me, and I usually have snacks between meals, so I do stay pretty full. Today-- I had toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas with a side of yogurt for breakfast. That holds me over til lunch, I had five deli slices of ham with a side of cottage cheese and almonds and green beans. Snack was a protein shake, and then I had another handful of almonds because I had the munchies lol. Then lunch was a grilled chicken wrap with a ton of greens inside and cheese. Yum. So my day is pretty well rounded, and I feel like having a snack in between helps keep the hunger off. So I actually had an extra plus some blue (healthy fats, like cheese and nuts) but FAT IS NOT THE ENEMY so I don't feel bad. I always overdo it on greens. I made a steamable bag of green beans with lunch and I ate half the bag. lol. I can sit there and just eat green beans with some sea salt phew! Tasty stuff! But I imagine it would be harder to stay full if I was vegetarian? I'm not sure never tried, but I would definitely say that if you're still feeling hungry to add some extra protein.. Do you have any protein powder? Such an easy snack, and filling for a bit (not to mention helps curb the craving for sweet stuff imo) Maybe you should tack on some extra protein servings and see if that helps? Honestly, the diet is very much about portion control but also about eating the right kinds of foods-- so if you're sticking to the food lists, and keeping to the portions on fats and carbs, I would just eat proteins fruits and veggies, at least until you're feeling less hungry.
