I lost 80 pounds about 4 years ago, and I have managed, through force of brute vicious will, to keep it off.

I am hungry every minute of every day. It never goes away. I dream of food every night. Every crumb that goes in my mouth gets a calorie count. If I go pass 1,200 calories a day I gain weight. And...It takes twice the effort to lose it.

Yeah! Life is a minor hell on earth. Someday, I’ll be dead and I won’t be hungry any more.

Oh!...And, please don’t post your favorite magic diet that is guaranteed to reduce hunger. I’ve already tried it.

Well... that’s a different kind of post from you. :-)

I know what you mean about hunger. Recently, I tried something called the Bread Diet. (It was a book at the dollar store.) It made sense, and I lost weight... during the two weeks I tried it. ;-) It involves eating “light” low calorie bread (no more than 45 calories per slice) every two hours all day. The sandwiches are filled with low fat foods like vegetables. There’s more to the diet, of course... but it was satisfying.

Have you ever noticed that the first three letters of diet spell die?

Good on you for losing the weight and keeping it off. I took off 96 lbs but then went back to 'normal' eating with my family and after putting on 40 lbs. it's back to the DIEt.
