Here are some questions for you: Why are you so afraid of feeling hungry? What do you think is going to happen? Do you think your body is really in some danger? Do you understand that the hungry feeling typically passes in 10-15 minutes if you just ride it out? Do you really believe that your body is unable to make it between meals without eating? Have you considered that you have some emotional issues tied up with eating that make the slightest feeling of hunger into an emergency for you? [/quote]

OP here.  Not afraid of feeling hungry but it's more so, even when I'm full, I still want to eat.  I think I've trained my body only to be full when my gut is bursting with food.  Now that I think about it, it's more of a feeling of being satiated is what I miss, which is what I'm interpreting as hunger.  That feeling of not being satiated (i.e. hungry) does not go away in 10-15 mins for me.  It's with me all day long.  I can fight it sometimes until I go to sleep but it's hard.  Heavy junk foods make me feel full and happy.

I took what a previous poster said about eating all the fruits and vegetables that your heart desires and still lose weight and am trying that.  Last night, I ate one full onion (cooked), a gaggle of vegetables, some low fat chicken sausage and eggs with a carrot.  I was very full and partially satiated.  The crazy thing is that I weighed myself today and I actually lost 1 pound, whereas if that were ice cream, chips and soda, I would have been up a pound or two.  For all you who think that 1 pound could just be a bowel movement or water weight, I've weighed myself consistently for the last month and I know it was due to eating veggies instead of junk food.

We'll see if it holds.  Good luck to everyone fighting the calorie fight![/quote]
