Yes! I am 9 weeks and noticed my appetite is coming back. I have my final meeting with my nutritionist next week to get put on the "lifestyle plan" aka no more restrictions on what to eat' date=' just how much, and it kind of makes me nervous. I don't know why because I've been really good with following the diet and it's not like suddenly I'm going to rush right out and eat crap, I just kind of enjoyed that I never felt hungry and now that it's back it kind of weirds me out.[/quote']

Yes!!! Me too!! I've been on the maintenance now for a few weeks and like you, I had to remind myself to eat usually. Now I wake up and I'm hungry! I guess we can look at it as a chance to start new healthy habits, but I'm looking at it as "oh no, what if I screw up again?"

It's normal w adjustment they say..... Just up the right Protein Shakes and amounts and as much h2o as possible... Also talk to ur nut. They should be able to confer w u via phone too....

Yes! I def need to make sure I am getting plenty of h2o! And my hunger has happened to occur or reoccur while I'm kind of sick. I was wondering if maybe my body was needing some nutrients to fight this thing. Everyone at my work has it with varying degrees. I just have headache/stuffiness and don't wanna do anything! Lol. But that's better than some of what I heard other people were experiencing with this.

[Redoableme 60]

I went to Burger King the other day and got their veggie burger with no bun. It was delish! It comes in a container so you have to use a knife and fork but you can get it with lettuce, Tomato, etc. Took me about an hour to eat it lol

[OleHippieGal 275]

I cook healthy for my Fam... Grill' date=' bake, broil, non fat spray, egg whites, skim cheese, 1% or skim milk, no candy or junk food in the house, salsa and baked tortilla wheat chips ok, etc. brown rice and whole wheat Pasta only... Stuff like that. I like making sure healthy eating is developed and part of their lives, therefore they teach there kids that. Also stress less tv, more reading and playing in and out of house for physical activities. Sometimes they even imitate us when we work out.

Family wellness.

dinner time is to take time eating and talking to each other, family time together then and in other ways. I learned from my previous marriage and from others who have and have not adopted a healthy family lifestyle. I can't let my hubby or kids be ok with "skinny fat" due to not having a better outlook on their health and being active....

It's just me, I have learned its best for my Fam, so if my hubby wants a treat and he knows I struggle with that particular type of food or it may trigger something then he needs to show it & choose to eat it away from me w no leftovers.... We are a team and bad habits developed over time have to be broken for success... He wants to be truly healthy so WE have to do it together.

My family was exactly like that. Ate dinner at the dinner table talking and then my world blew apart. I've had 2 surgeries within a month and half; I just went to my house to get the rest of my daughters and my stuff today to learn that my soon to be ex in-laws stole it all (about $20,000 in stuff); my husband is living w a Ho; he has broken several parts of the divorce petition, now the restraining order and I don't know if anything will be done about it because as of tight now he is in contempt of the court. My family ate dinner together religiously, most meals were healthy except pizza night.

Now I have a 16yo Jr in HS. That is dual enrolled in college. She is very busy and independent. So sometimes our times don't mesh up. I'm learning to be a single mom; recovering from surgeries and complications from the last one; work and unfortunately w an older teen and 1 parent she sometimes gets hungry before I arrive home or vice versa and if she doesn't want what I made, she can make her own. That is my family now after 22 years of marriage. I hate it but that is my family now.

Gen, your ex-inlaws stole $20,000 worth of your belongings? Was this recent? I would be fuming mad. Actually, I don't even know how I would deal. Can't he be arrested for being in contempt?

When I was in the hospital week ago they did it. I was fuming. I called the cops and they came out and said it is a civil matter so they can't do anything. Monday morn at 8am I will b on my lawyers doorstep. I want all and what ever charge can b brought against them, I'm sure soon to be ex was in on it; during my surgery time he took 3 weeks leave from AF to obviously help. He hasn't been awarded the house as of yet. All contents in side were mine as well as occupancy of the house right now. As of now, the house is mine and my daughters. So other that breaking a restraining order, there is breaking and entrering, violations if court orders. When the cops told me its a civil matter and then asked if there is anything else I needed, I said "a gun w 2 bullets" so yes, I was more than fuming.
