[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering, for all you thin people. Does it take work to maintain your weight? Do you experience hunger daily? I'm 5'7 and 139; just lost 10 pounds and hoping to lose 7 more to get back into my clothes. Sort of went on a binge since Covid and became heavier than I'd ever been. I'm finding that to lose the weight, I have to be willing to endure hunger every day. Not all day, but certainly, for periods of every day - I go to bed a bit hungry and I spend much of my morning (like right now) hungry. I've been able to power through it because I'm seeing progress on the scale and it's motivating. But generally, I love the feeling of being full, even stuffed, and it's rather depressing to think that if I want to be at my goal weight, I'm going to have to eat less for the long term and thus, maybe, be hungry for a good portion of my life.[/quote]

No. Hunger is not part of remaining thin. I ballooned during the pandemic and was drinking way too much. It was hard to start losing but it was mostly hard to change the habits that led to the weight gain. Mostly I stopped cooking (which is hard if you have kids around) and just snack when I’m hungry on fruit, veggies, high fiber or high protein stuff. And lots of water.  I find I’m less interested in food again. And when I go out to eat I don’t worry about calories or whatever. I think the “trick” to being thin is partly luck and partly not focusing on food or what and when you’re going to eat. [/quote]
