Eating constantly and losing weight

by aliceinred, Sep 19, 2009 10:58AM
Hello, I'm 4 months pregnant with my first baby, and I haven't gained any weight.  When I weighed myself the other day, I had actually lost 2 pounds.  The thing is, I didn't have ANY morning sickness, and my appetite has been crazy for months.  I eat all the time, day and night.  It's not uncommon for me to eat right before I go to sleep, in the middle of the night, and early in the morning.  I'm definitely growing in the belly region, I'm just not gaining weight.

It seems like morning sickness is usually the culprit in weight loss during pregnancy, but that's just not the issue here.  Where is all the food going?  It's healthy, whole, natural, high-caloric, high-unsaturated fat foods I'm eating, not just empty junk.

It should be noted that I'm not a tiny person.  I'm pretty tall, and was trying to lose weight before I found out I was pregnant.  I had a pretty terrible metabolism before, and I didn't eat nearly enough (I'm definitely one of those people who gains weight we we don't eat regularly).  Now all I want to do is gain a few pounds!  It's one of those little signs that everything is going fine, and I'm not getting many of them these days...
