I. Am. Always. Hungry.

When will this stop? When I stop bfing? I really hate this.

That's so funny! I JUST said this to DH tonight. I just want to eat all day.

[mrsjaymay]

Me too. I thought it would end when I stopped EPing. It didn't. Now I'm just gaining weight. Waahhh.

[fusion]

I've been finally watching portions this last week after the number on the scale horrified me. The first 4 days were HARD, but it is getting easier and easier, and the lbs are melting off (finally!).

I think it's some cruel Combination between BF'ing and being so damn tired all the time. All I want to do is eat.

At least when I go back to work I'll I KU have a finite amount of food with me through the day.

I stopped EP a month ago and am still starving all the time. So now I'm just fat with no excuse

Story of my life

[laurack]

I'm always hungry too. I feel like I eat too much food, way more than pregnancy it seems like. My weight isn't going up so I guess it's how much I "need"?

But I hate feeling out of control with food, like I just can't stop eating. Standing by the fridge shoving things in while trying to make dinner. Like I CANNOT wait until dinner to eat, no way. Must eat now.

I figure when I'm done breastfeeding the madness will go away, or else I'll just get plump. But I hope to have time to exercise when I'm done breastfeeding/pumping so maybe it will all even out.

Yes. I want to eat all the time. I'm trying to make sure I have lots of healthy snacks available or I just keep digging into my coworkers candy bowls.

[helicase]

I'm always hungry, too. I've been trying to eat healthy foods, but what I really want are sweets. Mmmm...doughnuts and candy.

Oh man, I'm the same. I was making chili the other night and while it was simmering, I found myself elbow-deep in a package of shredded cheese.

x3. It's not just "hungry" either. It's "I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat this RIGHT NOW". blah.

[abitofashout]

Now all I can think about is how hungry I am! Dammit.

[laurack]

yes because before I ever was pregnant/had a baby, yeah I'd get hungry, whatever, only an hour til lunch. But now, an HOUR til lunch?! I WILL NEVER MAKE IT! instead I'll eat a slice of cake that someone left in the kitchen. Then go back into the kitchen to "get water" (aka see if there is still cake left) sigh.

I could have written this a month ago, I do think it is from bf-ing. I have decreased how much I feed him now, I don't pump at work, and just bf in the morning and evenings.

Good news is... that insatiable hunger feeling is gone :-). I don't miss it, I felt like a teenager that was never full.
