Eating too much!

Does anybody else feel like they have a food addiction? I know it sounds silly. I just depend on food too much. I work nights from home and I'm having my 2nd baby on my own. I eat to stay awake than I eat because im sad and than I eat when im craving something :( I feel like I can't control myself. even with my big fear of getting extremely overweight I still eat.

please no rude or hateful comments. I know to some this sounds silly or ridiculous but this is very real to me. im in tears writing this.

I was just thinking how I'm eating way to much!!! The worst part is, even though I know I am I can't stop either! It's depressing I keep telling myself to stop because I don't want to have so much weight on me after baby that it's depressing but my mind says one thing while I'm going to put food in my mouth. But I am so glad I'm not one of those girls who can't eat and is hating their pregnancies because they are so sick:( I'll just be happy and full then have to kick *** after because I'm going to a wedding three months after baby is born!

This happened to me as well in early pregnancy and I thought I would get an award lol. Now it has slowed down. I was an emotional eater too so I understand :-)

Right now, yes. I have been doing good the entire pregnancy managing what I eat. The last week or so I have felt like a bottom less pit. I want other peoples food. If it smells good then I wanna bit it. Not to have it all but just because it smelled sooooo good!! My baby is going to be a greesy monster!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! thanks for showing support ladies! and I'm sorry your bf is being kind of mean shygirl. I get the bad taste in my mouth too ladies! I brush my teeth to help get rid of it but it still makes me sick and than I'm hungry again! this is probably tmi but I've had severe diarrhea for about 4 weeks and that bad taste sets it off.

I'm right there with you ladies! I'm constantly hungry I can probably eat us out the house! Lol I guess the upside is if I eat junk or sweets I have a awful after taste in my mouth but sometimes that doesn't even stop me lol

I'm right there with u! Glad I'm not alone. I'm always eating, I did this before pregnancy too. It's just now I eat more of a variety of junk ALL the time! My bf makes comments like "Your doctor told you to cut back on carbs" and "really you're hungry again?" I don't think he realizes how hurtfull his comments are, I just can't stop eating :-(
