Anyone wake up really hungry?

Hi all,

 Im new to this board but have really been enjoying all the great comments, info and inspiration.  Anyone wake up REALLY hungry? I get up between 7:30-7:45 am and cannot do anything functional other than sip some coffee or watch the news headlines until I eat breakfast, I guess it is due to the fact that I used to snack a lot at night but now have stopped eating by 7-7:30, but my question is does anyone else wake up this ravenous?

If I don't eat at night (like 11pm or right before I go to bed) I actually wake up from being so hungry.

Just eat something small right before you go to bed and you'll probably feel better in the morning.

Hello Stardust, welcome to CC! 

I tend to snack on 10 calorie popsicles right before bed.  Then, the first thing I do (after the morning bathroom run) is I start my crunches and push ups.  This tends to hold me over through getting ready.  Then I get my coffee.  And soon after, my oatmeal. 

Do what works for you and if you have to have a late snack then try to work it in as a scheduled snack. 

Good luck and see you around the forums!

I wake up hungry, and I like it. It means I appreciate breakfast more, and never end up skipping it. 

I love breakfast.  Best meal of the day, as far as I'm concerned.  I don't exactly wake up ravenous but about 20 minutes later I'm feeling in the mood for some food... This morning, a fantastic omelette with some mushrooms on the side.

Some day's I wake up and I'm so hungry I refill my cereal bowl 3 or 4 times!!!  That is with my huge banana I eat every morning.  Then I still eat more when I get to work!!!  Jesh, sometimes I feel like my entire morning is spent chowing down.  I do admit...I LOVE IT!!!  Breakfast is the best thing ever!!!  Well besides my four year old :-P

I definitely wake up hungry too!! Cause I usually don't eat 2-3 hours before I go to bed, I suppose.

But I have to eat as soon as I get up.... breakfast is definitely a habit now. Hopefully its a good thing.... cause I never used to have to HAVE to eat as soon as I got out of bed... now I do.

When I first begin my regimen of no food after 7:30 I was pretty hungry in the morning. Plus, I am a breakfast addict so just the thought of what I was going to eat in the morning kept me up sometimes.  Anyway, so yes i used to wake up hungry but i guess my body realized that it would get food and i am no longer all that hungry when i wake up. And i also stopped thinking about food before i go to bed. but now when i wake up the first thing i do is make my breakfast and then i can feel the hunger pangs. I also find that it is best to have a bottle of water or start drinking my coffee before I eat breakfast so i feel fuller faster and don't want to munch on other things after i eat.

Usually, no.  I wake up around 8 - 10 and don't get hungry until noon or later.  But this morning I was STARVING because clearly I did not have enough to eat yesterday.  I had a small, quick breakfast around 1, a slice of pizza and a few bites of tuna salad around 5, and a creamsicle around 10.  I was so hungry by the time I got home, around 2:30, that I had to microwave a burrito otherwise I'd never get to sleep.

And in consequence of that, I'm hungry today.

once you give up tv you will find many changes in your life ogram and the tv set never work together...tryliving life as a participant and not an audience...good luck

Hunger is my alarm clock.  It goes off every morning about 5 AM.  If I eat a snack the night before I can stall it off for as much as an hour.  I suppose that if I went back to stuffing myself at dinner like I did in the old days that I'd wake up later, but if I'm running even or at a deficit on calories I wake up early.

i never wake up hungry, even when my last meal is like before 7pm.

you may be confusing hunger with the need for water. usually if you drink some water the feeling goes away.

Its more of an empty feeling then hunger because ur body hasnt eaten for about 8 hrs.

somedays i wake up hungry, and somedays i don't.

yesterday and today i ate the same breakfast (grapefruit and yogurt) and yesterday i was starving afterwards still, but today i'm fine.
