Don't bake me a cake right now!

I posted about this a few days ago but it just goes on and on! .....    My appetite is getting out of control now!  Not gaining mad weight (yet) but I cannot believe (nobody else either) how much I am eating these past couple weeks. Not craving any specific foods...sticking to the same diet...just at about 300% of it.... I just got out of bed (6:15am) and I never woke up starving before but i am right now. Like i could eat Thanksgiving dinner now....if it was here I would...promise! I absolutely don't feel any cravings for a narcotic and really haven't since day 1 but maybe i am craving it but subconsciously burying it with food?  Who can tell me something good here?     (I just googled pregnant men but no help)

Mike,
I have the hunger too!  At first I thought it was because I was half starved from opiate use and then detox...Then I thought it was just because I do so much exercise...Now I KNOW it's my brain wanting pleasure.  Since I've realized this, it's mellowed out considerably.  When my tummy goes crazy (like now) I drink a glass of water or tea.  I eat small amounts all the time so my blood sugar stays at a good level.  I do whey protein shakes.  And I eat three cookies instead of ten!  Impulse control...(:

The eating may be hitting a pleasure receptor and your body is forcing you to keep seeking that pleasure!  It's your brain wanting to feel good.

Try an experiment with other pleasurable activities in place of eating and ignore the hunger pains for a bit.  See what happens and report back.  LOL

Maybe you weren't eating as much as you needed and now you're making up for it. Not necessarily that you weren't eating nutritiously, just not as much as your body required. I think it will probably right itself.

You are a funny guy Mike!  congratulations on your recent windfall oppurtunity.For use of your account I would consider doubling the prince's best offer if you act now and contact me today! lol I am an actual king so my resources far outnumber a lowly prince.
Could you have caught a tapeworm from all of that uncooked fish?You may be eating for two.Could it be that you have an extreme case of the munchies? Could it be both?

Seriously the weight is not the issue here ...unless we are measuring the weight of all the food I'm eating...then it is the issue. If I see myself gaining weight i'll fight it off....hey i went through a hellish detox....what's losing a couple pounds if it comes to that compared to what I went though?

What has me concerned is the size of my appetite these days. All bullsh*t aside, I am eating at least 5 full meals a day and I am not a big dude to begin with. Just average 5 10 ...170lbs... (brown eyes....lol)  and if I don't eat when I am hungry (even though I have all vitamins and minerals needed already inside me from the past 100+ meals) it's like my body reacts as if I'm starving myself! Like stomach growling...whose stomach growls when it's full? Not digestive noises but feed me noises. Crazy ... I'm used to meeting friends all the time for a coffee....now I'm like..."let's meet for an early lunch?...late breakfast...?early dinner?....snack? , etc" ....you get the idea.

Is it nutrition my body is craving? I don't know ... Honestly I wasn't eating unhealthy foods when I was using. I just wasnt eating 3 times a day...more like one time a day ...maybe that's what you mean? I am filling in all  those meals I missed now? Lol  

And don't worry I can have the Nigerian Prince/Bank Manager contact you too cuz I am sure he has deals for everyone!

Lol, Mike! You lucky man, you! I wish that prince had chosen me ;)

I think your body is just trying to get back the nutrition it has been missing all this time. You don't have to worry about me baking any cakes... I burn water ;)

Eat sushi girl! It's great! High protein...I eat it in insane amounts. Japanese dude at the spot looks at me like I am crazy sometimes. Lol  but on a completely different note....I am even happier than usual today because I got an email from a bank manager in Nigeria (he's also a Prince!)  that is ready to share 14million dollars with me if I let him use my bank account to send it to. I just need to western union him $950 to cover the transfer fee. According to Prince Ali Buba I will have the money in 3 days later! Yes!!

Im in the same boat except mine is starting to sink from the weight gain. If I wore yellow pants the kiddo's will start lining up behind me thinking they are getting on the bus. :/
