I don't know what it is, but I have been hungry like the wolf lately. No matter what I eat, I never feel satisfied, and I am always clamoring for more more more. I wish I could say it was real hunger, but I'm afraid that's not the case. I have not worked out since Wednesday (damn toe is acting up again---My doctors appointment is tomorrow), there was a snow storm last Wednesday night that dumped 6 inches of snow and ice on us, hampering any movement outside the home, and some recent money issues have all contributed to the funk I am feeling this last few days. Definitely the winter blahs, and there isn't much I can do about it. I can't really work out except for swimming---which I can't see to get motivated to do because it is so freaking cold outside, I have a hard time justifying the expensive foods I usually indulge in when we are trying to cut corners wherever possible, and the lack of motivation to do anything other than sit on my butt is not helping either (although at the same time I am tired of doing nothing all the time). I don't know, I just feel blah. Super Blah. I want Candy and cookies and fried foods.... and a long nap. Maybe a 8-10 hour nap, cause god knows that the 12-14 hours of sleep I have gotten every night for the last 4 nights hasn't been enough.

I honestly think the big appetite (and not really hunger) comes from this freezing weather we're getting. I have been exactly the same way with food over the past couple weeks and it has driven me off-plan, which is strange for me. I just can't get enough! As soon as I finish eating one thing I'm back in the cupboard looking for something else. Hopefully it will pass soon. I don't know about you but I'm getting sick of all the snow! Been out of school for 7 work days now.
Personally, it hasn't happened to me, but my husband has been complaining a lot lately that he is just ravenous all the time! I've been trying to make stuff that will stick to his bones better. Its just how our bodies react to change in temperature. Don't worry, it will get better. We all go through these phases. Life can't be all good all the time, now can it? You have to have the downs to appreciate the ups.
How did your appt go with the doctor? Is your toe better?
I've been craving fast food, cookies and candy bars since it got cold. It's the hibernation mode. We can't be held responsibile for biology! I just ate a big bowl of sweetened oatmeal to try to fight off the cravings. I don't know if it's going to work. Lord help us . . .
it has been cold here too, i honestly would be happy laying in my wardm bes and snacking all day. i havent made any real efforts to go to the gym and am fighting the daily urge to eat all o fth efoods i used to. you hace come so far and made so much progress. i hope that your toe is better soon and that we all get some warmer weather!! keep up the great work!
Just checking in to see how your appointment went and hoping your toe is starting to feel a bit better as a result. I can totally relate to this overwhelming sleep need. I think lately I've been sleeping more than the cats because I can hear them tearing around the house playing while I curl up under the duvet catching zzzzs. Like the stormy weather, this all will pass and things will be back to normal again soon.
