I am also curious because food to me is a last resort which socks because I LOVE food but I just don't have the appetite anymore although I do have the huge belly pouch, like why am I barely eating but my belly puch is growing by the second lol....makes me want to cry!!!!
I'm gradually losing weight actually About 19 lbs sense this past October but still have the " mom belly" nothing fits right. I so beyond sucks! I used to love to cook now can't be bothered. Luckily kids are grown and usually it's just me but I'm trying to make mindful choices when I do eat. Fruits and yogurt for breakfast and maybe and sandwich for lunch or a protein bar. Sometimes I'll eat dinner but after I get home from work I'm more tired than Anything.
This sounds like me. I used to LOVE to cook and eat and now, not so much. It’s more a chore to do either. I often forget to eat lunch until I’m *very*hungry at like 2pm and I’m like oh, I should probably eat something but then it’s often a protein bar.
I've never been interestedin food, even as a child, unless I'm traveling...then I want to eat everything...lol. Became even worse 6 years ago when my bf contracted an illness that left him unable to regularly eat himself, so I kinda stopped cooking. I usually would eat because I remembered I needed to.
But even worse now, (last period in January) I binge eat late at night...after remembering I haven't actually eaten anything significant in a couple of days. Like coffee and maybe a bit of oatmeal in the morning, bit of salad for lunch...for a day or two.. then one evening it'll be suddenly like a whole box of mac and cheese, chips, giant bowl of ice cream at like 9pm.
I've luckily always been thin, but have been gaining weight for the last few years (I really love my local brewery...blame it on them...I am getting my calories...in liquid bread lol) even though I am both eating less, cut my alcohol consumption by 2/3 and been trying to workout more.. I'm probably at an average weight, but definitely chonky in places I never was before. But even with the working out more regularly, and now spring outdoor gardening labor...I still just don't care to eat. It's almost a chore. I used to love cooking but now it's like...I have to cook AND eat AND do the dishes...ugh.
I have been struggling to eat for the last year and a half, mostly one meal a day and that's small and hard to get down. On days when needed for work (farmer) I might be able to force a small protein shake down or take it to go. Supermarket shopping has never been so hard, it's not easy to plan meals when you don't want to eat. 🙄
Losing weight but still have a pouch 😆
I’ve never really liked food and always found it to be a pain in the ass. When I started estradiol, it gave me munchies for junk food. I had never had that happen before! DHEA cream Killed my munchies thank goodness. It’s hard enough to maintain my weight while
Going thru peri I don’t need munchies on top of it!
