Why am I 8m postpartum and still absolutely ravenous? I eat 3 full protein heavy meals, have a daily smoothie, snacks and I still can’t sleep half the nights because I’m starving. And I get up to eat whenever I’m hungry too. Help
@infinitysprite I tried tracking for like two days and it’s such a pain if you don’t eat the same things every day 😭 trying to eat more during the day in hopes i dont have to binge overnight
@RageScrolled Yes I was having that for awhile but unfortunately my stomach tracks calories more than volume sooo if it’s not calorie dense, it KNOWS lol! Still a tasty treat tho!
Today is the 100th anniversary of artist Mary Cassatt’s death. She died on June 14, 1926, at the age of 82 in her adopted country of France. She was born in Pennsylvania to a well-to-do family in 1844. Although she never had children, Cassatt is beloved for her tender paintings of mothers and children. I first fell in love with her work when I saw a copy of “Little Girl in a Blue Armchair” as a child. One of my projects in high school art class was copying her Japanese prints!
@quachelsey Wow that’s amazing. We’ll see how my guy handles it then :p for now… got any good healthy snack ideas I can prep? I’m sooo sick of the protein cheesecake I’ve been mindlessly downing the past 8 months every night
@yayfor1a I believe so! It’s definitely food that my stomach requests. Once I eat enough I can sleep. One calorie too few and I’m wide awake for hours 🤪
@quachelsey I managed to lose almost 20lb but I’ve been stuck with an extra 10-15 for the past few months that I feel like maybe while bf my body just wants to hold onto some extra fat 🙃 how was weaning at that age? Also thinking of conceiving around 15m soooo
@kikimancy That’s kind of what I’m thinking… the body is maybe just looking for it by requesting as much food as possible. But we eat really well imo. So idk 🤷🏻♀️
@fillikd83 2 eggs + Greek yogurt + 16oz of milk for breakfast every day and lunch and dinner is always at least .5lb of meat each meal. Plus rice or potatoes. Plus a yogurt based smoothie. Plus protein cheesecake. I’m tired of food 😂
@Anne_Hale_ Ugh yeah my mom’s has been rightfully on my case about getting my thyroid tested. Some nights are really good 8.5hours with brief interruptions and some are 5hrs with lots of interruptions lol
