constantly ravenous

Time of year. I'm hungry all the time too, except when I'm sleepy. Actually I am often both.

It's naychur, innit? You should see how hungry our swans are ?

I had this in early pregnancy (4-10 weeks). I couldn't eat enough food and I am normally a very light eater.

I think the weather doesn't help and it's always stodge as well!

Me too!! not that I need to overeat either. im really craving really lardy food like dominos and cake. it must be the cold, hope it passes soon though, with christmas on the way too, my waistline is even more doomed now!

I definitely eat more when its cold, and when i'm unhappy.

Did you realise you've posted this on OT and not BT?

?

?

Waaah kaz you norty girl ?. i am definitely not upduffed.

phew, i'm glad others are experiencing this terrible affliction. i shall revel in the lardyness of winter.

Well I have to say it's a nice surprise to have you suggesting cake to me rather than the other way round ?

Time of year - your body is preparing for the possibility of a long hard winter and having to look after a child through it as well. And more yoga than normal people do too ?

Time of year; I brought soup and a yoghurt to work for my lunch yesterday and ending up ditching that for a lardy sandwich and massive slab of ginger cake instead. I was like a carb-seeking zombie: "Caaaaaarbs..."

Are you me? ?

I am usually quite healthy-ish. However, I have in recent weeks been eating like an absolute pig - I am hungry all the bloody time. I want carbs (mainly cake) a lot.

Also, I've realised that I am a total comfort eater, since OFSTED and dad's robbery I have been craving really stodgy stuff. I'm going to enter 2009 2st heavier at this rate.

I was going to suggest this earlier ?

I dont actually feel hungry per se except at normal mealtimes. but in between i swear i could eat a large dominos or a bowl of pasta or a loaf of bread quite happily ?

Ditto. ?

And I posted something similar about 2 weeks ago, Foxy.

I am waiting for my tattie to hurry up and bake and I am so hungry, I'm eyeing up the (world's most neediest) cat and wondering how long it would take to skin and roast her...

ooh ooh do me! do me! I need an excuse! ?

apart from unemployment giving you too many hours in the day to bake.

This was me yesterday...I had a nice New Covent Garden chicken and veg soup with an apple and grapes. Did I eat them? No sireee. I went to Gregg's and bought a festive chicken, bacon, cranberry and stuffing roll and an apple danish. Then went to Starbucks with friend after work, had a gingerbread latte and shared a panini. Had dinner of chop and salad, then had 2 chocolate eclairs with a cup of tea. Oh dear, that looks so much worse now I've written it down.

she's a very demanding cat ? incidentally new job rota gives me 1 monday in3 off...

See, if i'm sad or upset i stop eating. so i guess this is kind of A Good Thing.

ruby, i have had cake every day this week. today i had millionaires shorthbread, a puff pastry mince pie thing, two advent calendar chocolates and i'm just about to take a mince pie out of the oven. and that's just the sweet stuff.

Cake you say? Oh no, I never do cake.

?

When? WHat are your plans tomorrow? ?

Yeah, but I ate half the shortbread and half the mince pie thingy so they don't count.

This is me too, I do not fancy any of the Christmassy food that is about at the moment, which would normally be a good thing but my BMI is now 19 so I need to get happy again! Preferably while there is still some Christmas food still in the house ?

now that's a true friend...eating cake so you don't have to

Woohoo - so many other people are feeling the same as me! I've been hungry 24/7 for the past couple of weeks and I'm a little low in mood at the moment but not enough to warrant the massive pig-out I'm in the middle of.

Although a lot of what you guys seem to think is "eating a lot" to me sounds like a normal day...?

You're preparing to hibernate. I am too. I'm going to bed earlier, getting up later and eating more pastry. It's not good. And i haven't left the house since Monday (mind you it's been snowing constantly since then, so I have a good excuse...)

Rhys has a Xmas party at half 2 otherwise I'd volunteer to feed y'all cake and hot chocolate.

Legless, that's good news about your rota! BTW, I think you live near our dentist. ?

I'd make you all cake but i'm going away for a gourmet/dirty weekend tomorrow so i'm unavailable ?

i am near a dentist...

That sounds like an excellent combination ?

Ooh lucky you, that sounds fab. Have a great time!

Our dentist is the one in the awful rundown shopping centre near the square-about - but I think I may have passed near your street on the way from there into the centre.

ok i don't live near that one ? but yes you would pass my street on the way, you should ahve popped in, i'm mostly here.

and thank you, i shall try to have a lovely time. ?

Yes, thankfully you're not too close to the dentist. ? The place is fearsome but the surgery has a new principal who seems nice and competent.

I had to get R back to nursery and me back to work but next time!

I've got this as well and have put on 3lb- I am ravenous all the time, have just stopped breastfeeding and have started taking the pill- it's a triple whammy ?

<waves daim bar clutching hand>

Oh god I could eat the computer. I'm like a bloody hoover. I've put on half a stone since my wedding. I'm in denial at the moment.

In fact last nigth I was so hungry and all I had in the house was mixed mints so I ate 56 mints. I counted the wrappers. I had forgotten of their, er, laxative qualities. I'm not totally adverse to fodd whcih fills you up but doesn't stay on your body, mind.
