Needing some help

[Ryguy507 0]

Hello everyone!

I am needing some help (advice) on some issues that I am having.

I had the surgery last April and lost 134 pounds. It has been an incredible journey. However lately I can feel myself getting more and more hungry. I can also tell that my portion sizes are getting larger. I’m not wanting to get back to my old habits but i feel stuck. I’m also having a hard time getting back into cooking my meals. I used to cook so much food and now that I’m not eating very much I feel lost when I cook. Can anyone give me some advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

Welcome and just curious, what are you doing for meals right now? How much do you eat. Post a day or two of food and let us look.

Thank you for responding. Ummmm it’s hard to tell. I work 2 jobs and they are weird hours so I kinda just eat what I have available. But it’s usually no more than 7 oz at a time. I don’t have set meal times. I just eat when I get hungry. So far today I’ve had coffee and some eggs and sausage.

For me I find that when I am not eating set meals is where I struggle the most. It may be helpful to start back to 3 meals per day at set times to get a good idea of where you are at. We can definitely eat a lot more when we graze or dont eat until satisfied in one sitting.

I kind of am in the same boat as you. I have gone back to making sure I pack all my meals the night before. When I get hungry, I can only grab from my pre-packed bag. This way I know they are smart choices. It stops me from just grabbing whatever is near. Also remember if you drink a big glass of Water, you won't be quite as hungry. Good luck.
