Trust me,I know what you mean.
You like to feel stuffed;I do too.
The only thing that helped me is not having cakes,cookies,and bread in the house.
Also,what I did was ate one,big, 1500 calorie meal a day and then let it provide me energy throughout the day.
I know, I know. But I don't like to do that, want ice cream, too, etc. I know it's "wrong", want toast and Smart Balance and a cup of tea...like bread too much.
None of these responses are addressing it, don't mean to sound nasty because I am appreciative but they are all not useful, sorry, have heard it all before! A million times I have heard it all!
Why not try the low fat versions of cookies and cakes?
I just found a recipe for cake using diet coke....cuts out the carbs,calories,and fat.
Make a veggie burger(70 cal) low fat cheese(25 cal) low cal bread(80 cal) and 2 slices of turkey bacon(40 cal).
Taste just like real thing,without the calories.
Yeah I know its useless info to you....
Here is some useful advice....try liposuction or the lapband.
i keep no temptations at home, no cookies, bread, ice cream, chocolate, chips. When I have a craving I buy a small packages For example I buy a package of 4 cookies and share them with other people. I can only buy one package at a time anything else will be eaten. I have zero self control once the food is paid for. I also only eat this as part of my lunch or dinner as I don't snack.
I also count my calories (you gotta do this, there is no way around this) and try to eat only 3 times a day, because I can lose control with snacking. I only eat healthy foods I find tasty and also include less healthy food in moderation. I stay away from high calorie sauces(they add up quickly) or eat them in moderation.
When I eat out I always request a small meal because I know my lack of discipline.
That's it. It is easier than what it seems once those temptations are not around.

So, Martha Anne, based on all the things you've said about what you like and don't like, what you know, how you could pass a dietician test...
You KNOW exactly what you should do. You don't WANT to do it, and don't intend to do it.
So there's your answer.
Be fat, and accept that you're overweight, and eating your way to a slow painful death.
Problem solved.
This may turn out to be true except the "slow painful death part" (kind of melodramatic and not necessarily associated with being overweight) and the "problem solved" part.
The problem isn't solved either (hers or yours) way. It's a problem to be overweight and it's a problem to feel hungry and deprived.
Losing weight is not easy. It is hard. Sacrifices need to be made. In fact a whole new outlook on ones health needs to be adopted. Most people do not want to do that. Half assed attempts at weight loss will result in failure. When one is really ready to lose weight, and I mean really ready they will lose weight. A lot of people will never be ready so they will attempt and fail. They will make excuses and use words like 'cant' or 'won't.
I do not mean to insult anyone by this. I am just stating what it takes to lose weight. Once a person is ready to make the commitment with no excuses they will lose weight. Ask any former overweight person who has maintained their loss how they did it. The word easy will never come up. And if it does they are lying.
100% correct. The problem is, nobody WANTS to be hungry and deprived for the rest of his life.
No reason to be hungry and deprived, lifestyle change and everything in moderation but it ONLY works if someone REALLY does want to change their lifestyle and eating habits permanently.
