I am woman, watch me eat.

[CaitJ]

Ughhh yes I've been stuffing myself since I started hormones. 🙁 If its not chocolate, its fast food, or candy or gum or something!gahh

I just stuffed my face with tripple cream chilli cheese and crackers.
Then I ran out of crackers 
It's bad that KFC is 5 min walk down the road...

At least you're getting some exercise in. Haha me I just hop in my car and then go eat.


Then I wish I had gotten the large meal. But I did give up fast food about a week ago, I've done great so far!

Yep. Chicken nuggets from McDonald's.

Another odd affect on the opposite side of the spectrum, a couple of days, I hadn't eaten and still wasn't hungry by the end of the day. NEVER had that happen before E. However, it's not a practice I'll consciously continue if I want "the girls" to grow big and healthy.

I swear, starting a new/my first job (aka extra money) and starting hormones on the same exact day....terrible idea. lol

I did the same thing, I started my new job the same day I started Spiro, Sept 20th. Although, it was just Spiro at the time and it wasn't that bad for me. I started estrogen December 3rd. Right now my boobs are super tender. The first few weeks on Spiro my appetite became virtually nonexistent and I lost about 10lbs. A couple weeks after that it came back and has been relatively normal, I think. Although, it actually seems easier to keep the weight off now. Occasionally, I'll break down and buy a pastry or hit up Voodoo Doughnuts and, before, I always felt just kind of fat and bloated for the next few days at least. Now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I want to lose weight soo bad

[ClaireA]

I swear that E makes it harder to lose weight. Back in the pre-E days, I was super active and could control my weght sooooo easily. Now, I crave the same nasty greesey stuff I did pre-E, but I have a real hard time losing anything. I did a 1200 cal diet from November to December and lost 8 lbs, but then I fell off the wagon. I'm 5'10" and 155 lbs, but I'd still like to shed at least 10.

Anyone ever try MyFitnessPal? It's a calorie tracker for smartphones, and you can set a diet that is pretty easy to stick to.

[Rock_chick]

Hmmm, strange...everyone else seems to just want to eat eat eat, but my appetite has seriously tailed off, apart from the rare occasions where i need to load up on carbs (and when i'm hungover ). I definitely can't eat as much as I used to as well...a large portion is now roughly half of what i was able to devour.

[CaitJ]

Are you on any other medications Helena?

[Jillieann Rose]

My portions are smaller than they were pre-hrt. Can't eat as much as I us too, at a meal.
But I'm sure good a nibbling anytime I'm around the frig.
Oh
And my waist seem to be getting thinner.
But I'm not loosing any weight and still have too much gut.

No, just the HRT...I will say that pre HRT i was an absolute ball of nervous energy, I couldn't sit still, always had to move, even in a cold room, drinking a mug of tea would make me sweat like a normal person had just run a 4 minute mile...seriously, back when i had the T in my system it was like my metabolism was going for the burn. Since starting HRT I've been a lot calmer...i mean i had to stop back in october for nearly a fortnight and after the first 5 days it was just like going back to the way it was before and it was hideous, nearly drove me over the edge.

Strangely what i do eat seems to go straight on the girls...they'd probably grow more if i ate more, but these days trying to eat once i've had my fill feels like i'm force feeding myself.

Weirdly I just craved salads with vinegrettes for about 5 months. Really strong and salty.

I found I don't get as hungry. Maybe it is because I lost 10 kilos  not as much to support.

same with me, i've been getting these cravings for chinese food. chicken lo mein and then general tso's chicken. it's so salty, you're very thirsty after eating it.

[AweSAM!]

My cravings for fried chicken have never been so intense. 😀 Otherwise, I just crave weird things, which seem relatively normal to me at the time, but in reality are really weird things to crave, and I realize that upon further reflection. Last February and March, I was in love with the taste of fish sauce (my body was probably craving salt). Now, I still like it, but I swear I find it less appetizing than before. All the food I crave seems to be salty.

I had Taco Bell last night. Oops =P
