I dropped about 70 pounds roughly 14 years go. I've more or less maintained that, with small increases of up to 10 pounds before I catch myself slipping and bring my weight back down again through calorie restriction.
I guess, after all this time, I still am looking for a holy grail that may not exist. I'd like to be able to eat till a reasonable level of satiation and maintain my weight where it is.
I've tried this with intermittent fasting, low carb, keto, low GI, low fat, vegan, and other dietary approaches, but it doesn't seem to matter. I eat almost no junk food/processed food. I've also tried meditation and talking to a counselor. I've also seen doctors. No dice. No one knows what's up with desire to eat more than I need to maintain my weight.
I'm mentally relaxed and organized. I'm not super stressed. I don't have any crazy trauma in my life.
But I'm always battling hunger. I'm tired of this taking so much willpower all the time.
I often eat a huge meal, and yet an hour later I'm hungry and it takes a good deal of willpower to not eat. If I wait 2-3 hours, usually my hunger dissipates again, but it's really hard before that. Smaller meals doesn't seem to change anything.
I've also tried stuffing myself with low-calorie veggies before my main dish, eating lots of soup, drowning myself in water, a eating, "Mindfully." Nothing works.
Anyone else in this boat? Anyone find a way out?
