Op here. I've tried IE, I've read all the books.  [b]I don't want to obsess, but when I eat intuitively I gain weight. [/b]I know how to cook healthy foods, I love healthy foods, I just have a huge appetite and I want my body to get used to less calories. If I work out I'll add calories into my day, so the 1450 is net. Trust me, I would love for it to be intuitive for me, it's just not.[/quote]

If you're fighting with your body about how much food it can have, you're going to obsess. But you'll be thin, so maybe buy a bunch of mirrors and enjoy. [/quote]

Hi, you don't know me.  I'm 163 lbs, 5'4 inches.  I exercise and carry my weight well, so I don't look like I weigh that much, but I do, and I'm not looking to be thin, I'm looking to be at a healthy weight for my self and feel good in a bathing suit.  I don't drink soda and rarely drink alcohol.  I cook and eat very healthy, we eat out at restaurants maybe once a month, I don't do Starbucks.  I've tried a LOT of things over the years and I've come to the conclusion that right now, for me, the best thing to do is to count my calories. 1450-1500 calories (net--so I eat a little more when I exercise) is not starving myself, I am not doing anything unhealthy to get to where I will feel a little better about my body. I think it's great that you can eat intuitively and maintain your ideal weight, but I tried and I can't.  So if you read my subject line, I'm asking if you have any suggestions to help with the hunger feeling when one is cutting down their calories.  Do you have any ideas besides telling me that I'm doing it wrong? [/quote]
