Since January I returned to work full time and am constantly hungry at work. My DD is 9months and in full time nursery and really enjoys it. I BF in the morning and evenings only so no longer expressing at work.
I have started a new job since Feb which I really enjoy but I cannot understand why I am constantly hungry at work. I'm still trying to settle into work after 8months mat leave and feel a little low in confidence. I used to think I ate well but recently I've lost touch with myself and can't seem to find my inner balance.
I have porridge for breakfast. A mid-morning cookie. For lunch I have a hot meal. But then by 2pm I am hungry again, really fancy something sweet and this is my weak point of the day where I normally end up going to the vending machine to get a chocolate bar or crisps.
I am still trying to shift my stubborn pregnancy kilos so I don't really want the chocolate but I cave easily and....
Sometimes it's like I don't actually taste the chocolate but the act of eating it is more important.
I could have a banana or something but I'm off bananas at the moment for no other reason than I simply don't fancy them.
Does this makes sense or anyone out there recognise this behaviour. Sorry for rambling, am tired, DD is teething and I am suffering from lack of sleep.
