It was just about this time last year when I fell off the "wagon" and
began
my slide back to regain the weight I'd lost. I just realized that a big
factor in that was the colder weather. The cold is making me extremely
hungry. I'm still logging what I eat and even after I've reached my
daily
allocation of calories at which point I wasn't hungry when it was warm,
I'm
still hungry. So far I've been able to tough it out but it's so very
hard.
Hopefully I'll be able to overcome this by drinking a lot of non calorie
hot
tea and wrapping up in a blanket so I won't be so cold (and it's not
that
cold here in Lubbock.) Since my WOE is heavy on the green veggie
salads, a
change has to come right there. I want only hot food.

Is anyone else suffering like this?

Were you on a low fat diet? I read that cold weather makes you want
more fat. If you were eating carbs instead, you were not satisfying
the fat craving.

I am not yet suffering like that, but we'll see.

Not particularly low fat but I try to moderate everything. I like a
balance. This time around I'm particularly watching my carbs and trying to
keep consumption of them to around 35% of my calories. I don't track the
fat grams and I do eat meat but not excessively.

My DH said he saw a newsreport that was about winter eating and it said it's
normal to be hungrier and that's why along with the 4 big holidays,
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, that people party on, that
most people gain weight during the winter.
