Do you have a big stomache? I used to be able to eat more when I was teenage time like at least 2 medium bowl of rice every night... it sounds a lot, isn't it? But these days, I have been eating lesser so my stomache is not as stretched... I cannot eat a lot now, let's say I order a large meat combo pizza, 1 piece of it makes me happy enough, 2 pieces make me pretty full.

I have a big appetite since I was a kid. It is in our genes that I need to control myself from eating. It is hard to do but I need to lose some weight because of my health condition. Even it is hard to lose weight but I try. I exercise so I burn the calories. For the past 3 years I gain so much weight so I need to lose it this year. I gain very easily whenever I eat sweets so I limit myself on eating sweets. It is very hard to cut down my carbohydrates intake because I can't survive without eating rice.

I can eat a lot one day and on another day not even feel like eating. I guess it depends on what I'm eating as well. When I work in the heat, I'll eat less. On colder days I feel the urge to eat more. I don't know why that is exactly.

I eat averagely , i cannot handle too much else I will give it to hubby. Even if I do eat a lot, i don't mind getting extra pound, actually I needed to gain weight rather than losing weight
My metabolism is fast so every after two or three hours, i felt hungry already. If I do eat, it will be less, my hunger would be more, but when food is already there, I don't eat the same amount like my hunger suggests me .
I don't know why I am such like this. But If I really like the food, no doubt I will ask for another round. But to the extent that I can finish it, else I would give it to hubby for him to finish. I like pizza too. I guess, that's one thing I will never complain when asked for more than two servings,lolz

Hello mermaidivy,
Looking at your avatar (is that you? *smiles*) I think you are not a fat person. I think it is good that you could eat a lot before and still not putting on weight. I am jealous! I have a big stomach and good appetite and I need to be very careful with my food intake. The bad side is that, I can put on weight easily and it is hard to lose weight *sighs* Alright, if you give me a medium sized KFC snack plate (two chickens, a medium sized Pepsi, a small coleslaw and whipped potato), I can wallop all at one time. So how does it sound? Yeah, I know...very scary!

i don't eat so much at one go itself, but throughout the whole day, you'd be surprised at how much i can eat. maybe it's because i snack and all. but then, i still feel i eat a lot especially since my time gap used to be like 3-4 hours. i had to eat. somehow i think it's because i gave birth to my second child that my appetite increased. i can eat way more than i used to when i just one child.

I eat my meals regularly.there was a period that I was trapped into curious about much weight.so I decided to lose weight by eating less.now I have remained the good habit.

I can eat a lot of food at times, but it used to be where I hardly ate in the summer because it would be too hot to eat, and in the winter time, I would eat like a horse, eating several large meals throughout the day. Now, because I am doing more physical work (and that I am bulking up for more muscle), my winter appetite is migrating to the summer time. I have notice where I would probably eat one or two meals, I have been eating five or six meals. Back in the cooler season, where I would eat five or six times, I moved up to eight meals, and even eating in the middle of the night ( it was the only thing I could do to prevent cleaning out the refrigerator for breakfast because I have done this before). A growling stomach at night is a nightmare. I used to play football, so I was always used to eating like crazy, but I don't play football anymore, yet I lift more weights now than when I played, and have noticed that I always craved food. I could eat two large pizzas, and would be full for 20 minutes before I am looking for something else, if they ever filled me up. I like eating, and I like that I eat like a horse because I am still growing more muscle, and they need more fuel.
