Those days where you eat, and eat... and eat...

[Anonymous]

I'm generally pretty good about watching what I eat and maintaining a (passably) healthy diet. I keep track of how many calories I consume and enjoy eating healthy stuff, so I feel like I'm doing okay.

But once every couple of months, I have a day where that's all out the window. Today, for example. I had a good, protein packed breakfast. Then lunch. Then early dinner. Then another meal. Now a snack...

I do struggle with overeating and portion size at times but this is not that. It's not emotional. I'm not eating exceptionally unhealthy foods. I just am so hungry and don't feel satisfied. Tomorrow, I'll go back to my normal eating habits.

Anybody else experience this? What is my body trying to tell me?

Also: Despite consuming more calories and volume of food than I normally do, I don't have that stuffed feeling. I could keep eating but I think it's time to call it for the night...

Am I just a pig in denial?!

I do that too. It seems like its triggered when I eat something really unhealthy and processed that I don't normally eat. Then I want more and more like it's crack. You're not a pig if you only do this once in a while.

Can't tell if OP is a woman or man, but could it be hormonal? Many people report extra hunger during ovulation.

As long as your shits are virtually wipeless, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ditto hormones. Yes on ovulationn. All appetites are rampedyou up. This is me everday while nursing. Now that we're weaning it's slowing down but I need help reminding myself that I don't indeed need that 6th meal.
