Ok, is anyone else having extreme hunger?

[Annabanna33]

or is it just me? Im only 4 and a half weeks but i feel like i cud eat a horse! and that pretty much stays constant throughout the day till i go to bed! Is anyone or has anyone else experienced this? and what did you do? I am so worried im gonna end up the size of a house, and since i only just got to my goal weight at ww 2 weeks ago i dont want to have bucket loads to lose after baby's born. But for some reason i cannot control it!
HELP!!!!

I am exactly the same - in between the feeling sick
I ate 6 packets of salt and vinegar crisps yesterday I just couldn't help myself and that is all I fancied
I'm trying my hardest not to eat so much rubbish I really don't want to have stupid amounts to lose after either

 

[Toxic_Angel]

same here! other night i was in bed an fancied a bacon butty. told oh to wake me up in an hour with one and he did lmao! it was tasty. my last pregnancy all i wanted to eat was ice cubes id sit there with a bowl full!

 

[lisaspoon]

what a lovely OH you have Toxic_Angel!!!

I'm the same, hungry in between feeling sick and all I want to eat is crap......can see myself ballooning soon!!!! ooooops!

I too lost loads of weight last year (over 2 stone) so am desperate not to go too mad on the food front. That said have already put on weight and am only 7+3. Is funny how I can feel so sick and still manage to eat eat rubbish LOL

 

[kayzee]

hi , Im nearly 5 weeks andI was the same yesterday i couldnt stop eating!!!!! i was worried though because with tia i had chronic sickness from the word go and with this one its every now and then.
I too had lost a stone and a half on a healthy eating plan and still have a couple of stone to go, but i guess thats on the back burner now
Try not to worry it must be your body telling you to eat a little more for your growing baby. xx

 

[KateQPR]

I could eat a HORSE! Particularly if it tasted like salt and vingear chip sticks!! (jools, i think we're having the same pregnancy!)

I know you're meant to eat healthy, but i just put all sorts of crap in my mouth, half good stuff, half choc ices and crisps. I reckon while you feel nauseaous you just do what you want.. I can't even do my top button of jeans up anymore, and there's no way that's my baby showing this early. It's all white bread and biscuits..

AND i am not doing ANY exercise at all. When i walk to much i just feel really lightheaded. I went to the supermarket today with OH and after 10 minutes had to admit defeat and go and lie in the car for a while. I really admire people who do this whilst taking care of other kids. Amazing..

I'm exactly the same! And it's not just wanting to eat, it's properly feeling starving! I had a jacket potato for lunch yesterday with cheese and coleslaw and then a mullerice and fruit and then in my break (only an hour and a half later) i had 2 massive bowls of shreddies! I was famished! and I wake up in the night starving,I have to eat a big breakfast and I must eat in every break at work or I feel sick, I come home, have a snack, then a proper meal and then I will have supper too usually cereal. I am practicaly living off cereal actually! some nights when i sit down to eat my dinner i have a bite or 2 and i just think "I really don't want this" so go and get a bowl of cereal instead, we have gone through 12 pints of milk already this week! lol I bought some dried apricots and dates and cereal bars for my desk drawer and take loads of yoghurts and fruit to work with me to try and encourage healthy eating but to be honest I don't really want it. Today I had 2 jam donuts and a sausage roll instead!

 

[lisaspoon]

thanks Carly... you have just reminded me i need to get more milk!!! I keep drinking it all the time....so nice on the stomach!!!

 

[Annabanna33]

aaah feel so much better im not the only one! was feeling a bit out of control! well yesterday i weighed myself. and in a week had gained 3lbs. so that was enough to shock me into only eating healthy from now on. Spoke to my weight watchers leader last night, and altho im not going to sticking strictly to the plan i am going to be tracking what i eat from now on. Im only 5 weeks on friday for heavens sake! I did not lose 5 stone for it to come back with eating rubbish!
Know its going to be hard tho... already eaten my fruit for the day! and got soupp and ryvita for lunch!
BUT at the end of the day If i have a healthy pregnancy I will be very happy )

 

[Laura_James&Amber]

You'll probably find that the hunger lasts throughout pregnancy. Somedays I also just want to eat crap! In fact as I'm typing this I'm on my second packet of salt & vinegar crisps and feel like more!
I find eating little and often helps me

 

[jools221181]

Think salt and vinegar crisps are popular

 

[keelie_b]

SOrry to but into 1st,
Im still having this symptom now! it was what made we wonder if i was pregnant or not in the first place!
in regards to controlling it - good luck!
i just give in every time i keep thinking "i dont need ANOTHER packet of crisps" but actually i really do but whilst im in the kitchen i grap myslef anything i can reach. Im quite lucky that i have a petite frame to begin with but i didnt want to have to start trying to loose loads of weght after babys born.
I just cant fill myself i eat and eat and eat but im never full so i just keep eating.
I'm just letting my body do what it wants to to be honest, maybe thats the way to go. Well done for doing so well at weight watchers, hopefully you wont put too much on whilst pregnant but if you do, you know that you have the strength and the will power to loose it again.

Good luck

 

[carlyr874]

To be honest I have given up on trying not to put weight on, because I am so starving all the time that it just seems inevitible! In fact I might try and do the opposite and see if I can put the most amount of weight on ever whilst I am up the duff!

 

[EllieBelle]

Im in 2nd Tri too, and like Keelie am still hungry all the time, and it initially started at about 7 weeks for me.

Fortunately I havent had even an hour of morning sickness, so my appetite hasnt been surpressed at all.

I tend to eat little and often, and ensure I eat cereal for breakfast and then an hour later a bit of fruit, from 11am onwards it all goes pearshaped and Im stuffing my face with crisps, chocolate, and biscuits!

Im looking forward to coming back to the UK so I can go and buy some more M&S prepared fruit salads and things to stop me eating so much junk.

Oh and well done for losing 5 stone, thats absolutely fantastic and you must be so proud of yourself

 

[xjdx]

Im always hungry i really dont want to put alot of weight on this time, Tj was a big baby for me and i havent 4got the birth lol, I keep trying to snack on fruit then i get heatburn and its a daily cycle at the mo. I didnt have non of this last time!!!

 

[Annabanna33]

well im continuing to try and fail miserably at eating healthily. I am still eating mt 2-3 pieces of fruit a day, plus branflakes for my brekkie. but in between im like this ravenous monster who needs to eat continous sandwiches, crisps and rice cakes! im only 6 weeks on fri and i feel like the size of a house already!!! Should i just give in to it and except my fate as a fattie, or keep trying to fight against it?

[kayzee]

Im the same, im 6 weeks on thursday and for most of the day i dont have an appetite at all, then it gets to mid afternoon and i cant stop stuffing myself stupid. Anything and everything but mostly those big bags of rainbow drops. had a massive tea last night and was still starving when i went to bed

 

[Annabanna33]

Thank god its not just me! im feeling like a human dustbin! Im sure everyone at work my think somethings up, since ive been dieting for the past year and a half, then suddenly im constantly eating crap! LoL. Cannot wait for the next 6 weeks to fly by then at least then they'll know theres a reason for it, not just that im a fat pig!
