That’s pretty useful info! If you were feeling uncomfortably hungry beyond a short adjustment period, that makes me question if your caloric deficit was too aggressive. And/or if your diet didn’t include enough fiber and protein for satiety. (It’s also possible to be confusing other signals for hunger, like thirst, boredom, or anxiety.)
Losing weight does not have to be so hard. You can lose a lot of weight gradually over time with a small, consistent deficit. Measurement accuracy is critical, though - you will absolutely fail if you aren’t logging your food like a lab scientist.
But it is definitely possible to succeed without that constant sense of privation. In fact, if you want to succeed long-term, you HAVE to find that balance because nobody can force themselves to feel deprived indefinitely.
