 A lot of it is personal, but for me I've found that just eating slightly less for meals and continuously downsizing was ideal. I didn't feel hungry as much and that became the new normal. No crazy calorie restrictions or diets just eating less food consistently. On the flip side of that if I ever do a big cheat day or drink a lot I'm always really hungry for the next 4-7 days.  Buy it: Funny Who Built The Cages Joe Donald Trump Sunglasses American Flag Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 Yes! This is such an important thing to point out. Your brain is unable to accurately tell you to either eat or drink, so when you need water it will send you signals that you then interpret as “hunger” when it’s really thirst. Or something akin to this, I’m not a bio major. Buy it:   Pretty Wearing A Mask Meme Trollface Conspiracy Theory Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 You haven’t had the munchies? Haha, I am not overweight, but sometimes I just want to keep shoving things in my mouth despite being full. I would see this as almost more of like an addiction type of “hunger” versus what your stomach would feel as actual hunger...if that makes sense? Buy it: Nice Kiss Me Irish Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 That's really interesting to me. I've never struggled with my weight so I can't really imagine how hard it would be to feel hungry in spite of my actual needs. Congratulations, and you look great!

 Do you ever stop feeling hungry? the biggest hurtle for me is learning to get over that perpetual feeling of hunger. i guess my biggest fear is if i go to the task of eating less ill have to live with being in a state of hungry forever. and i guess my motivation to proceed tanks and i go back to my old habits. honestly, quitting smoking cigs after 10 years was easier than quitting bad eating habits.

 But "only" 40 is still a LOT. Especially for shorter people! I'm 6' 149lbs and I agree with you that noticing things for the first time is strange. I'm young and my heaviest weight was 260 in my junior year of high school. I haven't been 149 since maybe 7th grade. I can remember anything but being big.  Buy it: Good I Like Football And Maybe 3 People Quote Shirt Home:  Handstee
