I’m So Hungry!

I have been hungry all day and I can’t explain it: I’ve eaten similar things as other days, I haven’t worked out more than usual, and it’s not “that time of the month”.  I just don’t get it.

How’s a girl supposed to lose weight when her body keeps telling her to put more food in her mouth? I’m trying to only put healthy things in my mouth, but still – a million grapes can’t be good for you.

I’ve reviewed my list of tips for when I feel like I can’t stop snacking, and I’ve tried all of them today, but they’re not working like usual.

Days like this can be so trying. But you know what? Tomorrow’s another day, and it can only go up from here! Right? Right.

On another note, I did my push ups today – so far so good! Today’s total count was 51. It occurred to me that I have done more push ups since starting this program last week than I have done cumulatively throughout my entire life, and that makes me feel good. Also – and it may just be in my head – but I think I’m noticing some definition in my arms. There’s still fat there, but it’s WELL-DEFINED fat.

    Hi there,

    I just found your blog and am loving the watermelon theme, so cute and clever. Good luck on the push-ups!

    I know what you mean … some days my stomach is a black pit of hunger, mostly first thing in the morning. It’s seemingly inexplicable.

    That’s what I always dreaded most about dieting. Tried low-carb, now I’m never hungry (or if I am, a few almonds take the hunger away), and because of that, I’m finally sticking to it! Maybe try less fruit, more veg?

    I hate those days. It seems that they always come at the worst times too. Like you said, a million grapes can’t be good for the waistline, but it is better than a million potato chips.

    Congrats on staying with the push up program. I know I began seeing definition in my arms after just three weeks.

    I really wish I could join in on the push ups.  I think I’ll try and do some tonight and see how my wrist feels. 
    Also, I was very hungry yesterday too, but I think it was just because with the holiday I fell off the wagon a little and yesterday I was back to eating what I should, which was MUCH less food.  :)  I feel better today, and I hope you do as well!
