Now that I'm st work I have plenty of time to eat eat eat so I'm hungry all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-35046 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:54:28 +0000 Rubies 35046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 6 weeks after giving birth, I had no appetite - maybe I was so stressed/tired/overwhelmed. I didn't eat at all unless my mom or the hubs literally sat me down and forced me to eat. But after that phase, I started wanting to eat. Now, 4.5 months later, I eat like a horse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-35039 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:33:52 +0000 SAHM0811 35039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heck yes. I need to stop because I rationalize with the "500 calories/nursing" thing too, but I probably go over that extra cushion, so how will I ever lose the baby weight yet to come off? I started jogging a bit in the fall, but now it's tougher to get motivated the colder it gets.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-35037 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:23:14 +0000 Boogs 35037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My LO is 8 months old and I'm hungry, hungry hippo 24/7! When I used to wake up in the night to nurse I HAD to eat something because my stomach would be growling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-34952 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:22:07 +0000 Maysprout 34952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I exercise a bit less so I thought I'd be hungry less but breastfeeding I guess makes up for the working out less because I got back to pre preg weight pretty quickly for being such a hungry monster. Now just need to get back some of the muscles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-34931 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:47:55 +0000 heffalump 34931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I think I was just so used to eating a lot when I was pregnant that it was hard to stop. But as I realized the weight couldn't come off if I kept doing that, I had to force myself to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-eating-a-lot-post-baby#post-34895 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:42:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 34895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so hungry after having Olive! I could eat and eat but usually just scrounge because I can't find the time. I tell myself I'm burning 500 calories a day by breastfeeding so it's ok. :-)</p> <p>I didn't have a big appetite shortly after Olive was born, but the past month I have been a hungry, hungry, hippo. Do you find yourself with a big appetite post baby? </p>
