It seems to me, that every Monday, (following some very tasty S days, of which I am learning to not go overboard, generally a bit of snacking and a sweet) I am just growly and annoyingly hungry for most of the day.
Yesterday I was all hungry and grumbly, which I ignored, but it was really ANNOYING!
I ate normal sized meals and made sure I took in favorable nutrients (fruits and veggies).
Today I've been doing fine between meals. Anyone else experience the Monday Hungries? Or am I imagining things?

tiffani,
not much experience here only one full S weekend ...but I found since I ate a bit more on the weekends it actually took me longer to get hungry on Monday ... I ate my breakfast and lunch anway ...but it wasn't til dinner I got I good real hunger mojo going ...
Monday's however are NOT my favorite days ...
at all ... you know getting back in the working groove ...
I guess for me I found that it getting back to N day's helped me kind of refocus and be productive ... you know ... when I wanted the sweet drinky thing .. no dear not today... what else is there to on that TO DO LIST

Nah, I get 'em, too. Especially if I've gone a bit overboard on my S days. My solution was to cut back on seconds. I still have seconds sometimes, but I try to make my second serving a half-portion. That seems to be the habit that ended the Monday grumblies for me.

Hey Shannon - I've only started yesterday but I can tell you that whenever I used to "go big" on one day, the next day I was STARVED. It must be the whole stretched-out-stomach thing. Or just all in my head. And the more sugar I ate one day, I craved even more the next.
Like I said, I haven't gone into a weekend yet so we'll see how I feel on Monday.
P.S. I've been reading a lot of these posts and I do love your toddler analogy!

Me too. And the more overboard I go on the weekend, the hard Mondays are for me. I think it must be psychological. If we are fine the other N days, then there is no real reason for Mondays to be so hard. I just drink more water and remind myself that a little hunger is so much better than that full bloated feeling I used to live with constantly. Also I remind myself that tomorrow will be easier. So I guess I am saying fight a psychological issue with psychology.
