That's a total weight loss of 36 pounds.

My biggest enemy is the night time hunger pangs. I am JUST FINE all day long. I exercise, eat breakfast (I don't even have an appetite at that time), then eat my second meal at 11am. My third meal is at 2pm.... still, fine, haven't been HUNGRY at all, even though my stomach might rumble.

But when 4pm hits -- a perfect time for my first snack -- I am practically insatiable. Those 25 grapes ain't doing NOTHING. And then later I'll have dinner, and the meal itself will be enough, but I still won't feel SATISFIED -- ya dig?

And NOTHING I may snack on that's "allowed" will help, neither will water.

So I end up being really really irritable, sad, depressed, whatever....at night.

This sucks, I wish I never let myself go! Damn the life of an educator!

Senusret, can you eat fruit or raw vegies at night for a snack or will that be wrong for this diet? Eating some raw fruit or raw vegies won't add any pounds. If I get hungry at night, I usually grab some carrot sticks and if that's not available I grab an apple or cantalope.
