Hungry ALL the time!!!!

[tropicsgirl]

I am 3 months postpartum and I am hungry all the time. I was never this hungry while I was pregnant and I didn't really have cravings. But now I'm craving all this junk food...chips, cookies, ice cream, fried things... You name it! I feel so guilty.

Is anyone else like this after having their baby? I thought I wouldnt crave foods as much but I do! I'm thinking maybe it's because I stay home with the baby so much or maybe I'm eating to make myself feel better? I don't really feel depressed though...

Are you bf? I was hungry constantly whilst BF.

Nope, that's the thing...I'm not BFing either...

It's lack of sleep that does it, when I'm tired I eat everything!

Oh just read, I agree it's probably a lack of sleep although I have no kids but sleep def helps curb cravings. Protein does too, try to have a little at every meal + snacks (hard boiled eggs, jerky, high protein yogurt). Congrats on having your baby.
