Im 34, male, 6'0" and am working on weight loss. I started at 263lbs. My goal is to get down to 2010 lbs. I can specifically remember, that at that weight, I can see my ab muscles clearly. So that is my goal. Currently I weigh 254 lbs and I have been dieting and mild exorcise for about 2 weeks.
But when things get difficult for me, and when I experience setbacks, is when I get hungry. I make good plans that if carried out, would carry any human being to their ideal weight. But saying it and thinking about it is one thing. Actually fighting off the hunger, is another matter entirely.
After I eat, everything is fine for about 4 or 5 hours. But when its time for that next small meal, or that next healthy meal, which does not satisfy my hunger, that is when things take a turn for the worse. Its like a giant monstrous beast that is very difficult to slay. I'm sure that most of you know the feeling.
How do you deal with this? Its all well and good to plan out your day, for weight loss. But then comes that last 4 hour stretch, where you will still be awake, but you're so hungry that it really freakin' hurts. It comes to a point where you just want the pain to stop. And if you try and eat a celery stick or some broccoli or something... well it just doesn't satisfy you. And the whole time you're eating it, you're kind of miserable. It hurts.
How do you overcome this? Sheer willpower and determination? Does the pain and hunger ever stop?
