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?

Eat slower. It takes some time for your stomach to register it's full to your brain, and so a fast eater can eat more than they need. If you eat slower (enjoy your food) you give your stomach time to register that it's full and so you end up eating less than you would if your were shoveling it all down like there's no end in sight.
