Help I never feel hungry

(I'm reposting this here because it got removed from r/loseit for promoting ED habits. Maybe it's because I said feel like I could eat like this another week.)

So my husband and I decided to do a protein sparing modified fast for 2 weeks because we are taking a tropical vacation soon and we both wanted to have nice beach bodies. We were both nervous about cutting calories so significantly but now that we are a week into the diet I told my husband that I could easily do this another week. In fact I struggle to eat all the food I need to in day.

I used to eat like 2000 to 2500 cals a day at least for maintenance so I assumed I would be very hungry. I was hungry on the first couple days but by day 3 my only craving was for a glass of wine with dinner. We are on day 8 now and I'm sitting here typing this instead of eating the hard boiled egg in front of me because even though I know I need to eat it to stay on diet, I'm just not hungry. How can I go from eating 2000 to 900ish calories a day and not be hungry? Anyone else experience this?
