Oh good Diana, I am the same way. More than a couple lbs. a month and I know it is being dehydrated. I also agree about the growling stomach tells you you're really hungry. I have heard from several reliable sources that many times when we think we are hungry our bodies are actually thirsty so drink water first! I have also found that drinking a diet coke for that afternoon "shot in the arm" energy boost actually triggers your brain to want to eat because you promised it sugar with the no calorie sweetener, but didn't follow through. I try not to do that anymore or have an apple or yogurt also. Hey after all day with teenagers sometimes I need that shot in arm [to avoid putting one through my head]. I love my students and they are great kids, but sometimes teen angst makes my eyes cross...
