IABU-this can’t be normal

[helpwithhouse]

This can’t be normal! I’ve seen so many threads about people not able to eat a lot....I feel so different!

My DH is away and I’m at home alone with an ill baby. I’ve just realised I haven’t eaten since I had a cereal bar for breakfast and am STARVING! So I called Dominos and got a meal deal, thinking I’ll have some leftovers another time (I love leftover pizza!)

In 20 mins I’ve just eaten a medium stuffed crust pizza, a full garlic bread and a full portion of chicken dippers. And I’m eyeing up the cookies!

Seriously, that can’t be normal?! (FWIW I’m basically a healthy weight...still just carrying a bit extra from pregnancy but certainly not a lot)

Sounds like you were just really hungry!

FWIW I only wrote about my weight to prove this isn’t something I do daily... but I don’t know why that matters 🙈

Are you breastfeeding? Or if not and this is unusual for you, I find my appetite goes up before I get ill. Maybe you have caught something. Or maybe your period is about to start, I always eat more then too. Or maybe you're just particularly hungry today for no real reason.

That would have been me pre gastric band, now I'd vomit just at the thought of it.

Maybe your DC has been gradually getting a bit more out of sorts and distracting you from looking after yourself for longer than you realise. Maybe you've gone a bit cavewoman and are making the most of the food provided because your body is telling you that you don't know when you'll get the next meal. Hope they feel better soon (and don't pass their bug on to you)

I wish I had half your problems! I am disappearing and have zero appetite. Not a stealth boast either.

And left over pizza for breakfast especially is The Best

Plus you have a baby. When I was about 6 weeks pregnant I basically inhaled a full plate of spaghetti bol in our fabulous Italian before DH had eaten 3 bits of ravioli. His eyes were popping out of his head.

I do this sometimes. Completely forget to eat, then eat EVERYTHING, then nothing for a while. I have a normal bmi.

If you’re breastfeeding it doesn’t surprise me. In any case, that’s impressive and you must have been hungry!

Thank you all. Yes I’m breastfeeding and just haven’t had much time for myself. I guess that explains it.
Now....cookies!!

YANBU. When I was breastfeeding Id get so hungry, especially when an ill baby was constantly attached.

YABVVU stuffed crust pizza is wrong! Thin and crispy and large is the way forward!

@spanglydangly noooo! Thin and crispy is great....apart from at dominos! The stuffed crust is so sexy.
I do like your suggestion at a large though!!
