So... when does dieting get easier?

I am not a thin individual. I all but quit vigorous exercising when I stopped playing football (so about two years now), and didn't account for the difference in energy needs. I am now 220 pounds at about 5' 10", but with the encouragement from my girlfriend and the desire to actually like the way I look, I finally started dieting (exercise will come shortly, I walk a few miles daily but nothing to write home about). I haven't had a full calorie soda or anything sweet (outside of fruit and a 2 sugar packets in my morning coffee) since Sunday. Christ, I'm hungry constantly. The other day I ate an entire bag of carrots and I think it actually made me slightly hungrier. Do I have to look forward to being constantly hungry in the long term, or will my hunger eventually have the decency to -blam!- off?

  • I'd say avoid carb-laden foods (you might already be doing this) first. You will crave the hell out of carbs when you are hungry because your body knows it is cheap, easy energy. Stick to eating filling foods - red meats and the like. Avoid bread and pasta.
