PSA: appetite suddenly out of control? Maybe you're just cold!

For the last couple of weeks I've just felt extremely hungry all the time, and I didn't understand why. Despite being successfully in maintenance for the past 10+ years, these last two weeks I simply couldn't keep under my daily calorie budget (~1600/day), and sure enough, the number on the scale started creeping up.

*side note/PSA 2: times like this continue to prove to me how essential daily weigh-ins are for me even in maintenance

This Monday, the weather forecast was pretty cold,, and I went overboard with layering : two heattech shirts, a sweater dress, a sleeveless leather vest, a scarf, and a wool coat. I figured I would take off some layers once I got to the office but I got pulled straight into meetings and ended up keeping all the but the wool coat all day long.

Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had consumed under 1200 calories for the entire day, and I wasn't hungry at all ! I've repeated my little N+1 experiment all week and at least in my case I confirm : more layers = less hunger.

TL;DR: maybe you're cold, not hungry!
