Can't...Stop...Eating!

ChicagoBulls · October 2012

No matter what I eat, I am still ALWAYS HUNGRY! I bring like 3593925802580 snacks with me to work and it's never enough!

Whenever I try to hold off on eating (because I just ate something else not too long before), I'll end up getting so hungry again that I start getting sick. Which leaves me no choice but to have to eat once again.

Will it always be like this?

**This is how I look when I eat lol**

I was this way in the early weeks of the first trimester but now it's back again. As long as you're making some healthy choices (along with cravings of course) I say eat away! I blame it on baby growth spurts lol.

randomnames · October 2012

This is me today too. Sooooooo hungry! I have a work lunch today and it better be good, because I'm almost out of snacks already.

Aprilbaby28 · October 2012

Hope it helps to know that you're not the only one... been up since 6 am and have been eating non-stop. Just ate 2 plates of spaghetti, a piece of chicken, and a piece of cake yet I'm still hungry. I feel like a bottomless pit at this point. Hope this hunger and these cravings end soon

I have been very hungry myself over the past few days. I try to eat well, but sometimes I do things like eat chocolate-covered pretzels (I just polished off a few here at the computer). They were calling my name! Honest!

Now that just made me super hungry! lol

But that's exactly how I would eat too.. it sucks. It's either eat or get sick for me. I'd rather eat because, well.. who wouldn't it? Just not this damn much! lol

My other problem is.. I am always craving a little bit of EVERYTHING. Meats, veggies, fruits, sweets. I want it all!

Same here, I always try to make sure I bring fruits and veggies to snack on at least. Unfortunately, there are those moments (which happen pretty frequently) where I'm completely craving some chocolate and anything else that I shouldn't eat.

ETA: Mmmm.. chocolate covered pretzels lol.

You know what, I like that idea! lol. Anything to not make me look like a complete fatty.

The screwed up thing is.. the growth spurts are going to be even more intense now.. oh man. Sometimes I question what I got myself into lol.

Hopefully it's something that will fill you up til you get home!

Don't you love when work provides lunches? Whenever they do it over here, it's always something really delicious!

Well think about it this way...your LO will have a well rounded palate

Our hunger is probably due to our LO's going thru their growth spurts so we are doing our job by nourishing them- at least this is what I say to myself so I don't feel so bad BTW your cravings sound like mine...LO wants a little bit of everything too. Hope our hunger and cravings subside back to normal levels soon

I think this all the time - when I'm starving, nauseous, tired, feeling fat. My life was so easy when it was just me and my husband (minus future baby) and we could be selfish with our money and not worry about taking care of another human. Don't get me wrong, very excited but still wondering...

They are providing dinner tonight too. I'm not that excited about either this time though. I have to be social and schmooze with people I don't know and I'd rather just go home. Oh well. The food should be good though.

none5 · October 2012

I had to eat my lunch at 11:30 because I couldn't wait any longer. Now that I'm reading about food, I'm sad it's gone and I want more. Stick out tongue

I crave sour: dill pickles, salt & vinegar chips, sour patch kids. I'm normally a sweets person, but the baby does not agree.

You hit the nail right on the head. I have no one other than myself and DH to worry about and we enjoy our peace and quiet relaxing after a long day at work.

I can accustom to change, but this baby is going to be the most drastic change of my life. Although I'm extremely excited for it, I'm scared sh!tless. Knowing that nothing will ever be the same is hard to take in.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. The emotions are just a bit overwhelming.

Shellfish1012 · October 2012

Glad to know that I'm not the only one. I've been starving too. And I gained a ton of weight last month. I saw the doctor yesterday and she said it was fine so long as it's only one month, but that if the weight gain continues, we'll need to think about what's going on. I was too embarrassed to say that I know exactly what's going on. I'm eating ALL DAY LONG in order to not feel sick. If I go more than an hour or two, I feel horrible.

finallyplanned · October 2012

Obviously, you are not alone in this.

I work for a cheese company so we usually have a pretty good stock of cheese around and our company store also sells beef and turkey snack sticks and our lunchroom is stocked with crackers. Not to mention people bring stuff in all the time so I usually have more than enough available.

My indulgences today already has been: bagel with strawberry cream cheese, cheese and turkey snack sticks, applesauce, celery and peanut butter plus about 3 glasses of water. Still looking forward to my orange chicken, veggies and rice for lunch too.

Best wishes.

Haha this is very true, considering the fact that I have so much diversity in my everyday diet. I love switching it up!

I still can't believe how much and how fast our LO's are growing. It's so incredible to think that just some weeks ago, they were the size of a poppy seed!

I hope it subsides for us as well, being hungry sucks!

same here! It ended for me in the 3rd tri with DD...when I felt like I couldn't fit anything else in me.

That's too far away! lol

But hey, at least it got better..

You're getting the royal treatment! lol

I understand though, I've become a bit anti-social myself. All I want to do at the end of my work day is go home and relax. I don't want to be bothered or do anything other than housework that needs to be attended to and cooking (but of course).

That's exactly what I go through on a daily basis lol.

I always TRY my hardest to hold off eating until 12, but I am absolutely starving by 11. So, I sometimes surrender to eating earlier than originally desired.

Yummmm.. all of those are things that I love to demolish (especially the pickles - I've got a jar readily available at all times at home lol). I've always been a fan of the salt & vinegar chips (especially the kettle cooked ones) and I've always been a sucker for some sour patch kids (I've been really into Haribo gummy bears a lot).

See, that's what I'm scared of. Especially because I had gained some weight right before I got pregnant (and was determined to lose it, until I got my BFP). So I started off not being where I want to be.

Hopefully the weight slowly increases for you from here on out, because I can completely understand your frustration. You don't want to eat so much, but you feel like you have to in order to feel fine.

Oh the sacrifices we are already making for our LO's. Hope you feel better hun.

I cosign all of this.

KrisM86 · October 2012

I've been like this all week now. I am just going with it. I haven't gained any weight so far and I am making sure that most of what I eat is healthy, so I don't see any reason to make myself hungry. Plus I am still nursing DD in addition to being pregnant so I figure if I'm hungry, I really need to eat.

leasaj · October 2012

I'm right there with you. My husband laughs at me when he sees the amount of food I take to work each day. He said it would be enough to last him a week.

Mmmmm lucky lady! Am I the only one with cheese cravings? Especially cubed cheddar cheese.

At least you have a variety of different things available for you to munch on throughout the day!

You are definitely NOT the only one with cheese cravings. I am obsessed with Polly-O string cheese.

Lunch was disappointing: a plate of fruit and a cup of sorbet. Not enough for a hungry pregnant lady! My boss already told me to go get a second lunch. Dinner better be more food than that!

GeorgiaGirl1230 · October 2012

If it makes you feel any better, I just had a HUGE spinich and cheese omelet with half the home fried potatoes it came with an hour and a half ago and now I'm eating a HUGE bowl of Captain Crunch. And not with low fat milk...WHOLE milk. LOL.
