T,
Bottom line, I'm still not hungry.
It's been over two years and I'm still not hungry. My meals are routine, some would say boring. I'm not as strict as I was in the begining but I still start with protein, limit carbs and measure my food.
There are days when my carbs are high and my protein is low but I view things in weekly spans and everything balances out during the week.
I eat a lot of dense protein which fills me up. I feel a lot of restriction after eating 4 oz. of beef and have to wait 15 minutes to eat the rest of my dinner.
Carbs are my downfall so I limit them and after all this time do not miss them or crave them.
When I'm up late at night working and an urge to eat make a Latte (2 oz. FF Milk, 6 oz. Water, 1 Starbucks Via, 1 Equal) which satisfies my late night urge to eat.
The process has taught me to change how and what I eat.
Finally, I weigh myself on Sunday and if I'm off my number I make adjustment to the weeks meals to get back to my goal weight. I also log my food on myfitnesspal.com which I find helpful in keeping me accountable and aware of what my calories, carbs and protein numbers are.
Good luck,
George

Thanks George, you've given me that inspiration that I needed. I do have a book that I try to keep track of what I eat that lists the different categories (cal, fats, carbs, prot) but have not been faithful in doing it. The carbs are my downfall lately, but I guess if i didn't buy it I wouldn't eat it. I just think you are doing a great job. I weigh myself every morning to keep myself in control - I will let my weight fluctuate 2 - 4 lbs over my current weight but no more. Thanks again for the info and getting my head straight once again.

Starbucks Via are individual servings of freeze dried instant coffees. They come in different roasts like Columbian, Italian, French and have 5 calories per serving.
Starbucks Via can be added to cold or ho****er/milk for a delicious cup of coffee. I use them to make Lattes.
You can find them at Starbucks, grocery stores, Costco and Ebay. There are lots of coupons available for Via and you will generally pay 1/2 the regular price if you buy them on Ebay.

Ugh, I've been sick
yesterday I broke down and had high fiber cereal. Seems heavy congestion on a sleeve = diarrhea. Everything I ate went through me.
Today hasn't been so good. Coffee, two peices of string cheese and some balonga.
I'm waiting to see if that helps slow things down. Hydration is my focus because I can feel that issue creeping up on me
