I’m female and 6ft tall. Current weight is 170lbs, starting 176. I lost ~20lbs last year from 200 to 180. I waited a year and now I started the journey to lost 20 more. My goal weight is 150/55lbs. I don’t exercise, my weight loss is purely deficit based
I’m on a month of a deficit, 5lbs lost so far, but the hunger is getting increasingly worse. In the beginning I didn’t even notice it, now I’m hungry all day. Not just hungry but also cold, weak, tired, irritable, etc. yesterday I struggled to walk from exhaustion, I felt my legs like jelly under me, I could hardly carry myself or stay standing.
I eat 2000 kcal a day as a woman, that should be more then plenty, I eat protein 2-3x a day, I eat low fat, high volume, yet I am ALWAYS hungry since a few days. I will literally finish a big meal, like a big big plate of food and it’s like the food didn’t even touch my stomach. I can hardly take it and I feel like I’m being driven insane.
Yesterday I couldn’t take it and binged, ending up at 3600 kcal, I felt slightly sick but still a little hungry. I thought today I would hardly be hungry because of that but I’m even hungrier then yesterday. This is spiraling out of control and it’s scaring me.
I also started having digestive problems, like I developed very bad ibs Out of nowhere and have been forced to eat a low fodmap elimination diet lest I want to be a bloated painful balloon every day
I take a multivitamin daily so avoid deficiency based hunger. Water doesn’t help.
What should I do? Should I quit the weight loss journey? Should I push thru the hunger?
Because for now I’m hungry 24/7, literally like yearning for food all the time and it’s hellish.
