Weight Loss Would Be Easier If I Wasn't So Dang Hungry All the Time!

Have you ever thought weight loss would be so much easier if you weren’t so dang hungry all the time? I always used to say that - constantly trying to ignore the fact that I was hungry was one of my biggest downfalls when trying to lose weight.

I was usually fine the first few days - you know when you’re still super motivated and it's new so you feel extra determined - ‘I’m gonna do it this time’...

But after a few days…maybe a couple weeks if I was really lucky… of trying to white knuckle it through the cravings it got harder and harder not to give in….

Struggling with Sugar Cravings? It's Not Your Lack of Willpower….

It never failed! I would be so good all day. I’d have my dried out chicken breast and plain steamed broccoli for lunch, my rice cakes with sugar-free peanut butter for a snack. I even passed up the donuts at the staff meeting.

Have you noticed that what used to work in your 20s no longer seems to cut it??
