[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I think I’m just resentful, I feel like I’ve been failing in this really stupid thing - eat less food. It shouldn’t be this hard. Every morning is like a little bright light, I can do this! And then the first meal[b] I eat around 9 am is healthy and small-ish. And I’m hungry an hour later[/b]. I distract myself, knowing it’s not “real” hunger. But eventually I just give up, because I don’t have the emotional stamina anymore to deny, deny, deny what I want to eat. And it makes me so mad, because it’s 20 damn pounds I could have lost years ago if I could just power through the cravings and eat less food for a month. But I can’t even make it through 12 hours, so I feel like a failure and mad that I can’t just f***ing eat when I’m hungry. I think Stephanie Buttermore articulated this better. Anyway, I’m too vain to go all in and eat all the ice cream I want, but I’m not powerful enough to skip chocolate chips after dinner, so I’m in the miserable Groundhog Day of gaining and losing the same 10 pounds until one side wins I guess. Thank you for listening to my decidedly vain ragings.[/quote]
What do you eat in the morning?
First morning meal actually start your day, and your insulin/blood sugar cycle, and it make it almost impossible to resist that chocolate chip after dinner.
So, eat good filling breakfast - eggs, veggies, some oatmeal. Just make sure it's all savory with no added sugar.
And if you hungry couple of hours later - eat, but pick something like full-fat plain Greek yogurt with and serving of berries or cherry tomatoes/cucumber/celery sticks.

Toast with turkey and cheese, or oatmeal and almond butter, or a 1/2 bagel with ham and egg. It’s pretty healthy, I’m just…hungry. :/[/quote]

add some protein to the oatmeal, like nuts or peanut butter powder.  and if you want to jazz it up some berries and cocoa powder.  greek yogurt is a great, filling snack as well. [/quote]
