I don't know what has been wrong with me lately, but man oh man am I craving things!! And I just can't stop eating!!! I've been like this for about a week now. I bet I've gained 10 pounds!
I usually don't eat breakfast ever, and I usually won't eat a big lunch, but I'll have a nice dinner. Well, here lately, I've been eating Huge amounts of EVERYTHING! And craving things that I would never eat normally. And right now, I'm stuffed from eating chinese for dinner and I'm craving a big cold glass of iced tea!~!!
Has anyone else ever experienced this for that long of period of time???? What did you crave? How long did it last?
***By the way...I have 5 children...and I had my tubes tied when I gave birth to the last one....So, I BETTER NOT be pregnant!!!!! So, please, please, please don't suggest it, lol. Have a great day!

I'm in one of my 'i'm not hungry for anything in the world' weeks, I go through 2 weeks of eating anything and everything, a week of not eating a bite unless it's pretty much forced down my throat, a week of eating normally and then back to eating like a horse.
And i crave anything and everything almost, mostly it's BBQ ribs, HotWings, beef jerky and ravioli, i don't know why, but those are the things i eat more than anything, i used to go nutz over pizza, now i don't even want that, i hate pizza, and i don't like salad usually, and i go insane over it for a week straight sometimes, ohh and steak, you'll never get me off steak, medium rare, cooked my way, it's amazing.
Anyway, I'm a food addict, ohhh wait, jalapeño peppers, in any way shape or form, i can eat a whole 10 pound jar of them in one sitting, i love them so much, damn, I'm hungry now.

You are so smart!!! That probably is exactly what's going on! I've noticed that in the past that's how I've been. I guess I will just have to be a happy fat person, lol.

You know hun, i was just thinking, well you know how you had said in another discussion that your beyond happy now with the newest events happening in your life, well i know for me, when I'm depressed, i don't eat that much, in fact, i forget to eat most of the time.
But when I'm happy, i could eat a whole cow in one sitting (Figuratively speaking that is)
I'm thinking it has something to do with the change in serotonin levels in your brain, which is changing the way your body functions, because it really does.
With more serotonin in your body, you get a higher metabolism, and with that, your hungrier, may not have much to do with the cravings, unless it's because your body is lacking all the things you've been craving (Which is usually the case) but it more than likely is the reason your eating so much.
I would just jump for joy that your now happy (If you still are) and see it as a blessing, because depression takes away apatite, energy, and much more.
Might find that your pretty bouncy too, i've even noticed a change in the way you write.
Congrats! haha

Lol thats the first thing that popped in to my head, 'is this woman pregnant'?!
I find i get like this when its my monthly cycle! I could eat and eat and eat!
I feel so full and bloated but cant stop, and its not even because im hungry! I do it because my mouth wants food, i know that sounds strange but i cant describe it any other way!

I do have days and weeks where I eat more than others. The weather was really warm (80 degrees) then plummeted last week) and I ate a lot. I think it was a combination of the weather and how depressing it looked outside. Maybe the same thing is going on with you.

Is it emotional? I know if my nerves are on edge, I resort to food. I crave everything under the sun. You have been going through an ordeal that I would consider to be very nerve racking let alone dealing with the 5 children.

haha maybe there are just times that you are craving for things and i think it is all in the mind. you might have loved the ice cold drink in your throat so you crave for it all the time.
i have been like that too before, i craved for chinese dimsum but it was only for 3 days and was over before i knew it.

I know of someone who has her tubes tide but still got pregnant after a few years. Her doctor told her it is possible to get pregnant even if a woman has her tubes tied. I think you better see a doctor and do a pregnancy test, maybe that is the reason for your cravings. Anyway, if the results say you are not pregnant, then maybe it's just something else, like the weather or your eating routines changing.

Since you can't stop the craving for iced tea, why not turn it into something positive. Green iced tea is a great antioxidant (very healthy for you). I even read somewhere it can help you loose weight. I've made it many times and I think it tastes great. Try making it decaffinated, though. Too much caffeine is not a good thing.

Could the harmones change after you have the tubes tied? Its just a thought. Maybe you are tired and wanted something to drink tea. Is there a diabetic in your family? Five kids wow girl pass me the ice tea I need a drink lol. Have a great day.

I do, about a week before my period and a week after. I always want to eat something either salty or sweet. I love cold cold sweet tea! So, I know what you mean. I either crave korean food, or southern food. Mostly fried chicken or home made french fries. it is awful! I have been dieting and all of a sudden I have been wanting fried everything. So, don't feel bad, your not hte only one!

ok well first...you can be pregnant with your tubes tied but lets not hope for your sake. i have 4 kids and my tubes are tied and if i found out i was pregnant i would hang myself...lol. are you craving a lot of carbs? if so...i would have your blood sugar checked. it could be a sign of diabetes. also...maybe are you more active and needed more food? well lets hope for your sake, it isnt the pregnancy thing...lol. keep us updated.

around the time I am supposed to have my period I crave things. Usually salty things. I hope you're not pregnant, and enjoy your iced tea, I love ice tea.

Maybe it's just the emotional roller coaster you are on right now. I know that when I am upset or even really happy, I eat more. I also eat a lot right before my monthly visitor! YUCK! Is it cold where you are? I also tend to eat more when it's cold and miserable outside.
Iced tea sounds SOOO good! I think I will get up and go put on some sun tea. :)

Maybe it's a response to the weather. I ate like a pig all winter, as soon as it started to get warm I started craving salads. We just had a cold spell (it snowed today, ugh!) so I've been eating continually for the last week. I guess I need to move to a warmer climate to be thin huh? Oh well! Try going to the tanning bed if you want to control your cravings, just wear sunscreen. Now I'm hungry again.
