That used to be me until I started eating breakfast (especially breakfast with some fat and protein in it, like hot cereal with PB, to keep me fueled until lunchtime). I don't know why it took me so long to figure out the correlation! A body does best with a certain number of calories spread over a certain number of hours, and when I didn't get my first calories until noon or later, no duh I was going to be ravenous 10 or 12 hours later. Then when I would wake up I wouldn't be hungry (because I would still be full from whatever I stuffed my face with right before I went to sleep) and the cycle would continue.

Not that I've lost any weight this way but I'm eating a lot healthier. I'm with you spokewench, I need to cut down on the alcohol. But this time of year that nip of sippin' rum after dinner just tastes SOOOO good... and beer in the summertime... or a glass or two of wine with dinner... I guess I need to stop feeling superior because I don't enjoy the kind of liquid calories you get at Starbuck's
