Do you get hungry?

LOL.

LOL! On my way home from the hospital riding with my sister, I wanted a McDonalds double cheeseburger and fries so bad I could hardly stand it!!!! And now the gig is Pizza!!! Oh Lord, every commercial I see!!!!

I have noticed some of my hunger is thirst at times. But my mind can not seem to differenciate the two as of late. I was getting in too many calories. I know not usually the problem this far out. But i was averaging 1000 calories. I have finally discovered that drinking more really helps with the appetite. I can get full on the water and i know it is healthy for me. Especially in the summer. Another suggestion i have heard from many people. Try a different protein drink and see if one keeps you full for longer. I have heard people complain that slim fast really goes through you fast. Each body is different though. I have noticed i go in phases... one day it seems i am hungry all day, then the next day i have to remind myself to eat something. I figure it all balances out in the end. Excersize does seem to lessen my appetite. If i am hungry at an odd time or if i have hit my calories i take a walk.

Paula, all that info really helps. It is good we can help each other. I am exercising so much now I need a calendar. I don't think I am overdoing it, it is just that I have therapy also, and aerobics class, and a trainer for a few sessions. I will be so wore out I want want to eat. LOL
