Hey everyone! Wondering if anyone has experienced this?
Title basically says it all!
Over the past two weeks I’ve found eating to be such a freaking chore! Even when I do experience physical hunger I eat maybe four or five bites and then I’m done.
I don’t ever want anything and can barely finish a meal.
Has anyone experienced this while losing weight? Is this common?
For context I’ve been on a weight loss journey since October (28F, 5’6”, SW: 179lbs) and am now down over 20 lbs (so fluctuating in the high 150s).
Since October, I’ve also been hardcore working out, boxing (5-6 times a week), running (2-3 times a week but currently on pause because of shin splints but I’m subbing in other cardio), and weightlifting (1-2 times a week). Note: I know this sounds like a lot, but I worked up to it and have been very athletic in my past.
I try to average about 1600-2000 cals/day (on rest days 1400) and hit 130g-140g protein minimum. Lately it’s just been so hard to eat even my rest day calories!
This is super odd for me because I’ve always had a massive appetite (bottomless pit type level) and would eat wayyyy past satiety.
In terms of overall well-being I feel fantastic! I just have to force down food have never experience this lack of hunger ever before.
Would love to hear any experiences, suggestions, etc.
Thank you!!
