So, I've lost a lot of weight. Close to 70 pounds since this time last year. I've had issues with yo-yo dieting in the past, I've been making sure to go slower this time and make it sustainable.
Now, I'm in a healthy weight range. On the last ten pounds. Holy hell, this past month...the inability to feel satiated. It's unlike anything I've had while dieting now or in the past. I've implemented diet breaks throughout my process, however, now even that isn't helping. I'm wondering if I need to make them last longer, maybe instead of 3-5 days, 7-10? Those have been helpful mentally and getting rid of this in the past, but now, not so much.
I mean, seriously. I had a couple of bad days I just...I ate good fats, fiber and protein, higher volume food, and still after 3-4k+ calories (need around 2300 to maintain) it wasn't enough. I still found myself fixating about food as if I had just ran 20 miles and hadn't eaten in two days. I drink plenty of water, with my activity level a gallon a day on average. I also have been doing IF.
So, I'm lost. Is...is this life now? I can't imagine maintaining like this. Coping before wasn't great but still fairly easy eating the right things. Yeah, a twinge of hunger here and there but that is to be expected. I genuinely can't describe what it has become, other than the bane of my existence and the most annoying shit ever. Has anyone else gone through this, after getting to/close to a healthy weight range or after dieting for so long? I figure one of those is the culprit, but I don't know. If so, how did you overcome it, or at least make it manageable? Thank you!
TLDR: Lost a lot of weight, working on last 10 pounds and now have excess hunger/the inability to feel satiated or full from hell. Want advice on how to ease that.
