hunger cues...

... are all "off".  I've been noticing that I'm definitely not as hungry as often as I was earlier in the pregnancy or even pre-pg. Then on the other end of the spectrum, when I do eat, I eat and eat and eat.  Like I over do it because I didn't realize HOW hungry I really was.  ARGH!  I know that I should tell myself, "Ok, Self, you don't feel hungry but you really are.  And you can only eat this much...." But that's hard b/c I don't know when I'm full. 

 Like tonight, dinner time rolled around.....I had this delicious smelling soup in the crock pot and I told DH, "nope, I am not hungry. (I had lunch 8 hrs before and didn't even need a snack this afternoon)   not at all, but a little salad sounds good" That was three bowls of salad ago..

anyone else?  and what's the reason?

The baby is probably growing & your body needs the food/nutrients.

That was me tonight. DH brought home chi tung (japanese/thai/chinese place by us). He ordered orange chicken & mixed veggies for himself. I ordered the 6 piece ebiku maki, edamame and miso soup. The Maki lasted all of 3 minutes, the soup I practically inhaled and I ate 1/2 the soy beans. I then helped myself to some of his, ate all of the fortune cookies & just now had some ice cream. Bad bad me. LOL. But last night I was absolutely fine w/ a salad for dinner and some cheerios for a snack later.
