I am always hungry! My husband thinks it is funny that I am always snacking. I am always craving something sweet and finish off a cart of ice cream every 4-5 days! I am about 10lbs below PP but I am afraid it is all going to catch up with me soon.

Re: Any other BF moms starving all the time?
I'm always rummaging around in the kitchen for snacks.
Yep and I'm always thinking about food. Yesterday I didn't have anything sweet all day at work so on the way home I stopped at a gas station because I couldn't take it anymore. I bought s bag of peanut mnm's....a snickers bar.....and a nestle crunch bar. Lol. I swear I didn't eat all of them in one sitting lol. I gave one to my daughter at home and my husband had another. I just had to fulfill that urge.
Oh and I um took home a plastic coffee cup while I was at the gas station so I could take a pregnancy test at home. I was worried with the cravings, frequent urination, increased libido, etc that something was going on. Thankfully it was negative and I realized how much I don't want to be pregnant again so soon if ever.
Yes!! I do have "normal days" but I have a lot more days that I want to eat everything in sight. I've been out-eating DH a lot lately. I feel like a piggy, but I'm not gaining weight so I guess it's ok. I just hope it slacks off when I stop BFing or else I'll blow up! Oh..and the BFing cravings are as bad, or worse, than the pregnancy cravings!
I'm trying to diet right now (a fairly strict diet from my trainer that involves a smoothie for breakfast, fruit for a snack, 3oz of meat, veggies and a whole grain for lunch, a yogurt and 15 almonds as snack, and 3 oz of meat, veggies and a whole grain for supper, then 100 calories of anything as my last snack) and I find myself starving- last night I caved and ate 2oz of cheese while I was trying to get LO to bed.
I think part of my hunger is from domperidone- I just ate my snack and am already thinking about lunch. . . .
