I’ve lost 40lbs this year since I started trying. All I did was cut out breakfast and only ever eat if I feel hungry.

Thr first few weeks were hard. My body was hungry all the time. Now I feel hungry far less. I don’t get hungry until noon.

The problem is that if I ever cheat and pig out, like, say, this Thanksgiving weekend, it resets and I feel a week or two of miserable hunger again.

If I could cheat my brain in any way, it would be just not feeling hungry until noon, regardless of past actions.
