Hello mumsnet people,
I've come hoping for some solidarity and for somewhere to confess. My appetite has increased recently. So much so food seems to be on my mind a lot. My mood hasn't been great - maybe connected (?) but quite understandable as had a lovely holiday and since being back had some jet lag (but now been back for over a week) and in the mornings I'm very grumpy.
My worry is I've always struggled with appetite and control it to some extent with health eating - loads of veggies!
Today I felt wiped out but the craving for stooge and a lot of it was huge. i made myself a nice high protein lunch with salad and lots of olive oil and some ice cream (sugar free)for dessert. This didn't cut it. I went to the supermarket and brought biscuits (ate the lot) and pancakes (also ate the lot)! Only now I do I feel stuffed and also worried, I'm not pregnant, I thought was of sound mind. I'm not premenstrual.
I'm terrified I will be huge if i continue but at the moment I seem to be grumpy if I'm not eating.
Has anyone any inights to my awful all consuming food confession and obsession? I even found myself looking up recipes last night (despite having eaten well all day). I've tried everything high complex carb, high protein lower carb.... Obviously my binge isn't low carb.
Help (and thank you for reading, sniff sniff)!
