STARVING!! Anyone else?

[EYD]

Hi Ladies, I'm sitting here checking my email and what not, when oh to my dismay, I have polished off half a bag of baked lays chips. Oh yeah, I just ate dinner too! I feel sooo guilty, I've really been trying to watch my weight gain and all. I'm sure this won't be the last snack of the evening either Anyone else feeling uncontollable hunger/ need to eat? Any ideas on how to slow down? Thanks!

I started feeling like that at 13 weeks too. I'm almost 15 weeks now and the intense hunger isn't as much during the day but its still there a few times a day. No worries, baby is growing

YES! I ate lunch in my office cafeteria- made a big salad filled with lots of good stuff that would normally be too much for me to eat. When I finished, I got up and ordered a peanut butter sandwich. LOL! I am 2 days into my second trimester and am a little afraid of how much I will need to eat in the coming months. I too am trying to watch what I eat but being hungry is not an option so I do my best to eat healthy items.

There are times where I feel constantly hungry, like yesterday. I ate small healthy meals every few hours. Other days I will barely feel hungry at all and not eat much of anything. I was starving the first part of my pregnancy with DS2 though. I haven't had much of an appetite, most of the time, this time around. My belly has popped though, so I feel huge. I just try and keep it healthy, but give into cravings. I didn't let myself indulge at all with DS1, and not as much as I wish I had with DS2. I'm staying healthy and trying to watch my weight this time, but much more relaxed about it than I was with my 2 other kiddos. I had 2 cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory last week and even a cheeseburger. For me that's crazy. As long as you're eating mostly healthy foods, staying active, etc. then don't worry about it. I've been curing my cravings more now though, but 1-2 days a week some indulgence is nice!

I started to drink calories drinks after the dinner and during the night.I am really sick of always chewing and snacks are not all healthy,so those drinks have lots of vitamins and 240 calories a bottle.that keep me full for the night.Sometimes I eat two oranges or apples and that keeps me full for a while too.I can east to much at once so yeah it is annoying.

I started to get that way when I was 13.5 weeks. I went from not having an appetite at all, to eating 2x as much as I typically do!

I have been craving Chinese food like mad. I eat it way more then I should.

Eating empty calories will often have you just wanted to eat more. Try to eat nutrient dense food, because all your body really craves is nutrients.

I'm constantly hungry. I feel sick if I don't eat for 2 hours!

[Purplehippo]

I wake up really hungry, noticed it in last few days

 

[Firestar]

I managed (for the first time in my life) to demolish 4 pancakes last night as it was pancake day in the UK. Normally 2 is plenty, but managed 4 on top of a huge portion of cannelloni lol

 

[lewood88]

wow 4 i could only manage 2 followed by gaviscon lol

 

[Audraia]

YES! Ugg it's horrible, I'm trying not to gain as much weight this time but I can't help it! I'm hungry and have to eat or I get sick. Granted it's fairly healthy stuff I'm eating, but still...I don't want to be taking in this much food!!!

 

[MamaFlick]

I have been so hungry too!! And everything tastes so darn good! I had two bagels with cream cheese this morning... TWO!

I've got a big container of raisins at work. It helps.
