Thanks everyone. I’ve been having a hell of a time getting my hormones and now thyroid dialed in this past year. It really does effect weight loss and being able to focus on anything actually. I had a complete fast day on Thursday and it actually seemed easier to manage than my attempts at five bites in the past. Have had a good day today, but not…[Read more]

Best wishes Elizabeth.  You have been a great community member!  I left and came back 1.5 years later.  The second time I committed to stay until goal.  It has been the best decision for me.  Who knows how far off I would be by now.   But I completely get what you are saying.

It’s not just hunger — it feels like my cravings are a message. When I long for pizza, it’s as if my body is actually burning the “pizza reserves” I had stored. So the craving is both hunger and a signal of what kind of fuel my body is consuming.

Hard times, but I keep going. Strong cravings hit me, yet my body seems to burn what it desires — as if those hunger signals are telling me, “you’re losing weight.”
