Does anyone else snack ALL day??

MLOVER<3

I am literally eating all day. I bring in snacks just so I can having something to eat while I'm at my desk- it's like mindless eating!! It's a mixture of healthy and candy- it's kind of out of control. Almost 8 hours of straight eating...

I'm surprised I haven't gained more weight by now...

:::raises hand:::  I am guilty of this as well   I eat and eat and eat...all.day.long.

Yes - I do it because I have to. Last night I got home and was starving and I spent the first hour and a half at home miserable, even after I ate dinner!  I have a long commute and I need to pack snacks for the ride home which I didn't!

when my stomach issues are at their worst, i find snacking all day helps. i try to keep it healthy - yougurt, applesauce, bananas, etc -

For breakfast I have either a bowl of cereal or a couple of poptarts, for lunch Ill have a sandwich, yogurt, a box of raisins, a rice cake and a water, for dinner...well...that's when I dont eat as great...but snacking...aw man...whether its something healthy like an apple or something not so much like Cheetos...I just cant stop.

Yes. I feel like I'm always eating. My husband has been accusing me of eating because I "can" rather than because I "need" to, but I'm hungry all the time. I haven't gained any weight so far, so clearly my body is actually using those extra calories.

Guilty.  I'm like the bottomless pit. LOL

Eat all day and pee all night!

DiscusCoach

Yup.

uh yeah! guilty! My coworker even mentioned it last week. I am constantly grazing on something. I'm really surprised I've only gained 2 pounds...cause not only am I eating more, but I'm "cheating " a lot more & eating junk food too, stupid m/s & cravings...

Yep. I am so afraid of the hunger pains turning into nausea. I am in love with Fiber One chocolate and oat chewy bars. They are soooo delicious. Pretty low in sugar, not that many calories.

Ditto waitinggame.   I live in fear of the hunger turning back into m/s so I just eat all day like some kind of stoned teenager.

before i was snacking to help the m/s.  this week i just can't stop eating!  i'm surprised i haven't gained more weight too (thankful though).  i think the nugget must be going through a serious growth spurt.

Same here...its the only thing that seems to help hold off the yucky feeling a bit.

I deliberately pack so I can have something at least every hour and a half, and then a few extra because I sometimes need something sooner. And we packed fruit bars in DH car b/c on the weekends we inevitably get caught out doing something and I'm whiny when I don't get a fix I just try to keep it mostly fruit, veggies, yogurt; but I love it when it's time for the goldfish or other goodies.

That's how I always eat.  6 or so small meals per day.  Keeps the blood sugar even and doesn't = weight gain as long as you keep the meals small

high_hopes

Yes. I get nauseous if I don't have something in my stomach.

You are not alone.   DH laughs when I pack my morning lunch, noon lunch and afternoon lunch.  With a snack for the ride to work and ride home and a couple in case I feel sick in between.  Luckily I am not eating full blown meals- just snacking ALL DAY.  I think that helps a lot in avoiding the weight gain.

 Totally agree with this!  If I let myself get an empty stomach then I feel like I am going to throw up.  So I have been eating for what it seems like to be NON STOP!!

I am right there with you.  I feel like I am eating all day.  Sometimes I don't even think I am hungry but I feel like I need to eat.  I bring a few healthy snacks for the day plus my lunch and then keep crakers in my car for my commute just in case.   Luckily I have only gained 2 lbs but if I keep this up I am going to be huge!

I eat ALL day long.  In the morning when I pack my snacks for work, my husband is like, "You'll NEVER eat all of that today."  Sure enough- gone before the ride home.  And I've lost 3 lbs, so obviously I need it!

Guilty!!! I eat and eat and eat and eat all day long. It's so bad that when I get up for my 5am pee i can't go back to sleep until I go eat something. My husband can't believe how much i'm eating (i'm only 5'0 and weigh a little over 100 lbs) it's so unlike me. I was really worried I had put on some serious pounds, but at my doctors appt yesterday i found out that i've only gained 2.5 lbs so far. But today I feel yucky and don't want to eat anything. Hopefully it will all even out so I don't become a giant heffer!!!
