You are making incredibly progress. The fact that you are listening to your body and noticing the signals it sends you are really important. Being able to move from 800 calories a day to 1100 calories a day is a great step in the right direction.
I would not be surprised if it takes your body a little time to adjust its metabolism. It has been in starvation mode, and when it's in starvation mode, it hangs onto every calorie it can find. It takes it a little while to realize that it will get food when it needs it again and to not hoard calories like it has in the past. Your feeling hungry, I think, is a good sign that this is starting to happen.
What sort of emotions are you feeling and how are you dealing with them?
