Winter makes me hungry!

Winter Winter go away!!!!! Before VSG I always got even more hungry during the winter months. Guess I was a bear in my past life. Feel the hunger and want to eat like a bear getting ready to hibernate. Thankful for the VSG surgery. Still having the cold weather only hunger. Regular days I could care less about food. Crave fluids only. Anyone else have this quirky hunger drive?

Me! Even though I was still hungry all the time winter was always worse. I can't believe I actually LOST weight this winter

For me it is because I associate winter stormy weather with hearty Soups and stews, hot beverages, and doing your best to stay dry and cozy. So when it is overcast and cloudy and rainy, I have an automatic urge to curl up in a chair with a steaming bowl of something yummy and a good book. =)

Same here, but here in the Midwest, it's also because you are staying indoors more, no grilling lean chicken breast - just generally a decreased amount of exercise. I am also getting bored a little more easily, and while I was never eating because I was stressed or frustrated, I am noshing because of boredom.

And yeah, I could keep myself busy but there is only so much I can do :-)

What winter doesn't have as much for me is cocktail hour - in the summer, it is much more tempting to crash on the patio after work with a nice margarita, cosmo, classic daiquiri, lemon drop and all this good stuff (no mixes though, all "home made")

I'm always hungry! Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall. . . I'm starvin like Marvin . . . ugh oh well, here is what i've done about it. . . first i stop and listen to my tummy, is it REALLY hungry or is it head hunger (usually head hunger) if it's head hunger well then I'll drink a defizzed diet soda or flavored water, crystal light or something. . . if it's real hunger then have a Protein Shake, or a Protein food, tuna, egg, meat, Jerky, or Pork rinds. . . ugh life is nasty to the overweight!
