I have a ravenous appetite this morning. I was starving when I got to work so bad that I felt weak. I ate my oatmeal and then was tempted to eat all my snacks for the day. I even looked at the lunch menu hoping there would be something substantial for lunch that would hold me over for the day....but no, nothing tastey. I am having some black cherry tea to try to stop me from devouring everything in sight. Meanwhile, I changed my top three times this morning trying to disguise my fat...ugh. What's your favorite go-to snack to hold you over?

Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13
I am always hungry at work. I usually drink about 2 liters of water (which helps me to feel more full) and snack on almonds and yogurt. I am not saying that I don't cave and eat junk every now and then, but this definately helps.
TTC since 11/09;
5/11: lap (endometriosis-cleared), HSG (high pressure in tubes- cleared) and Hystoscopy (endocervical polyp - removed)
8/5/11: BFP; 11/14/11: no heartbeat on US; 11/16/11: delivered my angel baby, 19w1d; 12/15/11: D&C
I think about food all the time!! I am one of those that grazes all day long and only eats dinner as a meal.
I always have the following handy:
Bananas, trial mix, apples, jerky (my DH makes the most rocking jerky), luna bars, string cheese, cup of soup, almonds, dry cereal (I love eating it dry), stuff for a protein shake, slices of ham (don't like sandwiches but do like eating the ham on its own) triscuts, I.must.stop.now
OMG - great, now I think I eat too much...

I have had oatmeal, an apple, activia yogurt and a peice of gum. I drink a ton of water...on my thrid big cup for the day not including my tea. Still hungry...40 minutes till a reasonable time to have lunch.

Peanut butter on toast is my go to. It's got a decent amount of protein and if you put it on whole wheat you get a nice bit of fiber to. If I'm extra hungry I'll slice up an apple to eat with it.

EDD 06/04/12! Please Stick Baby! A/S 01/22/13 Baby looking great. Officially TEAM BLUE! Jack is getting a Baby Brother! RCS scheduled for 05/29/13. William Daryll born at 9:59am on 05/29/13. Left ovary and tube removed due to peach sized tumor found during RCS. Pathology came back benign!
Ditto on the water!! A lot of times I think I am hungry and I can eat and eat and eat and still not feel full and then I realize that I've hardly drank any water. Once I do, I stop feeling hungry.
Our brain can often misinterpret needing water, for hunger.
And other times, I'm just hungry a lot because I have my period.
