My New Favorite Food!!

I used to have a yoghurt for bfast, about 6:30, as I am so tight in the mornings. By 10:30 I was starving, and usually chose something not as nutritious to tide me over to lunch, like a vending machine size cheeze nips, or some other snacky item.
The last three days though I have had 1C to 1.5C lowfat cottage cheese, and 1/4 of a small seedless watermelon! Even though the cottage cheese is slow going, I can eat all that watermelon relatively quickly, I never feel stuck, and it's so good... but even better than that, I am SO stuffed!!! It tides me over to lunch, and I'm still not that hungry by noon.
I do not know why this works so well for me, but if you're having problems with the hungries you may want to try watermelon. I am not a big fruit/veggie eater, so I feel good that I'm finally added something natural and unrefined to my menu. Plus melon is one of the lower-sugar fruits. I'm guessing I'm eating about 3 cups of watermelon for 138 calories.
Anyone else have this same experience?
