I'd forgotten how hungry one gets during the early stages of CR! My body is still kicking and screaming at me, "What do you MEAN you're not giving me any more food?! I'm still hungry! I'll pass out! Really! Watch me!" I reply with another cup of green tea and the gentle reassurance "No, you're really not hungry. You're well-fueled. You've been through this before. Once you get used to this, you'll be fine." I don't think I believed me.
Add to that my workout (which I stepped up in intensity thanks to the picture of Gerry Butler that Jake put on his very motivating blog), and I was ravenous! My kids were safe, but the miso soup I made wasn't. I had two bowls.
I think I'll be hanging out at my upper limit of 1500 calories than my lower limit of 1200.
BTW, in my haste, I forgot to put up my stats. Okay, here we go...
height: 5'4"
weight: 119lbs.
under breasts: 29"
waist: 33.5"
hips: 37"
bicep (L): 11.5" (flexed)
thigh (L): 18"

That is so funny. I always threaten to eat MR when I'm really hungry. He lets me have a nibble here and there, but nothing substantial. He doesn't really have any extra himself!
He does have such beautiful veins though that I've wondered as I gaze lustfully at them if I might be part vampire!
