dee dee strange thing is im not hungry during the day its at night im hungry im not sure if its head hunger or real hunger ..during the day i am not that hungry ill eat fruit , yogurt have half a sandwich but night time after i eat dinner i get like a empty whole is in me thats my demons are at night figure that one out im a morning person but at night i want food?

Gosh JoAnn, do you know me or what?????? I'm the same here, I could care less to eat breakfast in the morning (although I make myself), lunch is light but my problem is at night......trying to figure that out.....real hunger or head hunger? It's a tricky situation, I try to convince myself I'm hungry since I eat so light during the day but I truly believe it's head hunger as I am not satisifed after....some times I don't even enjoy what I wanted and most of the time caved in to. Something I hope to work out and do better at. Dana

DANA HOnest to god i can stand food in the morning i need to be up at least 3 hours before i put something in my mouth and usually its a yogurt with some kashi karboard.. i just want my coffee thats it ..by lunch time ill eat half a sandwich or half a roll up and pick on fruit during the day plus my ice coffees.. at night i cook dinner ill eat then maybe because i cant fit alot in me im not emotionally satisfied/ its like i want more fiood at night like a damm racoon! bahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i really have tried eating in the morning but it gets me gagging.. i never was a breakfast eater even as a kid i cann rember my mother yelling at me to eat before school..those dam cherrios used to get so soggy ..lolshe evuntually gave up on me for breakfast i think everything works out take care joann

Hi JoAnn, Can you tell me what the deciding factor was for you to actually get you motivated to start working out? I am struggling with making that part of my normal routine/ I am 2 years out and I still have about 40-50lbs that I would like to get rid of and I know that is the only way to accompli**** just looking for some insight. Thanks, Shannon

i think because theres a gym at my apatrment complex there was no exicuse i guess..i have been living here 3 months and maybe because im not working this summer it was like gee people pay for a gym memebership and its part of my rent so i can try.. all i had to do was walk down a few hallways.. to get to the gym..believe me im not doing this to be a barbie doll,,i need plastics for the extra skin and cant do crunches lol at first i hated it oh my ghod id be this sucks what am i nuts but im not a quiiter so i tried again and slowly i gained stamina..another thing is i have to carry bags from the parking lot and im not used to that because when i owned my home i park the car and just go up 4 stairs so now its like my arms were getting tired and ii figured i do it for strenth..good luck and hopefully in september when i go back to work ill be into exercising like i am now ..but when i go to work im on a tight schedule with things so who knows? n who knows im a complex person lol

Congratulations JoAnn, I need to figure out how to like the gym or exercise in general *sigh*. I can surely start a routine but never stick with it. Maybe there's hope for me now . Dana
