Vidalia 122 Posted November 30, 2012 I am starting my 4th week...and while I am happy with my weight loss, I am beginning to feel a bit depressed about how I am feeling about food. The first few weeks I was so busy trying to follow the rules, I didn't really think about it. But, now it is as though getting food down is harder than it was the first few weeks. This includes foods that I normally would think tasted really good. I dread having to eat my next meal no matter what I eat. My appetite is pretty much gone...and I miss it. I don't want to overeat, but I would like for the food that I eat to at least be enjoyable. Does the appetite and joy of eating in moderation come back?

kmwheel 127 Posted November 30, 2012 It will come back...I promise. I'm sure a lot of other people will tell you the same thing. I am a little past two months out and I love to eat, I love food...I just am finally able to listen to my body and know when to stop. I don't really have an "appetite" per se, but food doesn't feel like a chore anymore. I had about 2 oz. of turkey, a tablespoon of mashed potatoes with gravy, and a little sweet potato at Thanksgiving (that is my favorite meal ever), and I think I enjoyed myself WAY MORE than I ever did when I ate until it hurt. You might find that you like different things now. I used to be really into sweets, not so much now...but a handful of almonds puts me in heaven. Give yourself some time. I know this sounds cliche, but it really is baby steps...and those milestones will come faster than you think. 2 Vidalia and Paigers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
