BFing and Not Hungry?

misskassielynn · February 2011

During pregnancy, I was constantly ravenous. I had heard that when I BF it would be worse and that I may just want to eat a horse. Sure at about 2 I need some food something bad, but nothing sounds good so I end up eating whatever. Of course I want to lose weight, but I was sort of looking forward to getting 500 extra calories a day instead of 300 extra. Anyone else think food just sounds "meh?"

I have mixed days. Some days I could care less about eating and it's really just going through the motions, but other days I'm literally snacking every 20 minutes, even snacking only a half hour after I've eaten a meal! It flip flops for me.

I'm way less hungry than when I was pregnant. I'm just hoping the lack of hunger will help with weight loss!

I'm not hungry enough to be eating 500 extra calories a day, but I wasn't very hungry when I was pregnant, either.

I'm with Tiff on this. Some days I'm not hungry at all and others I can't get enough food!!

I'm always thirsty but pretty much never hungry, I just force myself to eat.

I actually forget to eat a lot, which is probably how I lost my weight so fast (not good, I know). I never really had that hunger hunger throughout PG though either so I am not surprised I do not have it from BFing.

However, I had DH buy a thing of double stuff oreos two days ago and I ate the entire box in one day Tongue Tied . Yikes.
