I'd like to see what some non-dieters have to say about this.

[Guest guest]

I find that when I am at work I get very hungry versus my days off

when I don't find myself all that hungry very often throughout the day.

I work at 's Secret, and especially during this time of the

year (first the holidays, now our big sale) I'm non-stop throughout

the day. I'm constantly moving, and they usually put me in the

fitting rooms and let me tell you, that can be exhausting! I'm either

sorting piles of bras left in the rooms or walking back and forth

throughout the store to put them away. Either way, I'm always moving.

Now I always read on this dieting website that movement at work

doesn't count for anything, that your body adapts to it and it no

longer burns extra calories to do the work. I beg to differ, as in

the past 2 months that I have worked there, I have consistently been

getting extra hungry on the days I work. I have a hard time believing

that before I started working my body may have needed 1600 calories to

run, then when I started working at first it may have needed 2000 but

now only needs 1600 again because it's used to the extra movement. I

could imagine that maybe it needs in between now, but I still believe

that it needs more!

I'm just curious as to what you guys have to say about this because I

feel " bad " for getting hungrier at work so I literally have a slim

fast bar for lunch and am ravenously hungry when I get home and

usually wind up overeating. Of course, my diet-like brain tells me

that it's lack of control rather than my not allowing myself to listen

to my hunger signals but I digress.

I just keep thinking that this whole possibility that my body may

actually need more fuel and that is why I get hungrier is all just

wishful thinking so I don't feel so guilty allowing myself to eat more.
