[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean you were doing it wrong. I just meant that it is often not reasonable to expect to pick two goals and achieve both, depending on what those two are. "Lose weight" and "not be hungry" or "not think about food even though I am hungry" may well be doomed. Or not. But while some people can like their weight with minimal effort, other people can't be a particular weight without turning it into a second job.

Ah thank you for the apology.  The mirror comment was the one that got to me--but thankfully the opinions of faceless message boarders don't hurt me too much. ;)

Thanks for the article! That was helpful. Especially the fever comparison. I know that I can't lose weight without being hungry, that's why I was asking for help on how to "handle" the hunger--tricks to help me get through this part of the weight loss stage until my appetite hopefully goes down.  I read about the intermittent fasting and doing 500 calories 2 days a week or what-not and I know I couldn't do it, because 500 calories would leave me a raging crazy person and that wouldn't be fair to my family.  I really am trying to do this sensibly, so MFP it is for now.
