Help I cannot stop eating!

fourdieters · March 2015

I am usually a mild foodie, weighing in at 115. I am 5 weeks pregnant and cannot stop eating. I think I have already gained 2-3 lbs! Is this normal so early on?

I just ate about half a bag of Doritos... Not proud of it but I was starving! I've already gained a little weight but I think it's mostly due to my boobs getting bigger. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Ha ha! This made me laugh. Any food I see I have to eat at the moment. I'm getting a little worried as I don't want to end up huge afterwards, but when I need to eat I really need to eat. I'm ravenous! Trying to eat lots of fruit, but craving carbs and meat. I've usually such a sweet tooth.

At 5 weeks I couldn't stop eating and gained a couple pounds. I'm 7w4d now, and dealing with nausea and having to force myself to eat and have lost the weight I gained. So in a way I'm kinda glad I let myself go crazy for a little bit there haha

I feel like my appetite has finally gotten under control today at week 9. I actually craved a salad today - didn't have to force eat it!

Definitely, I know it's said that every pregnancy is different, but this hunger thing has taken me by surprise. I had no appetite the entire time I was pregnant with my son. Even after first tri, nothing seemed appealing. Totally different this time around. I want everything, all the time. And wicked sweet tooth all of a sudden (I'm usually more of a savory gal). I'm trying to counter it by making a big effort to exercise everyday. I feel more justified in inhaling bowls of bolognese after I run.
