So i just wanted to vent that I gained 4 pounds in the last 2 months and I am totally irritated. That may not seem like alot to you guys but my stomach is totally bloated and looks pregnant....this is not good bc my wedding dress is super tight!
Anyway I have been hungry non-stop and I think it is from my birth control. I dont want to go off bc I dont want to have my friend for the wedding or for the honeymoon. But at the same time I dont want to gain anymore weight so I may give up.
Some background...I eat pretty good all tho I have fallen off alittle bit lately and have eaten alot of sweets. But I work out 5 days a week....running and weight lifting and occasionally some spin. I work out hard...no half a$$ crap.
Today I ate veggies and egg whites for breakfast....still hungry, a side of celery, a zone bar, cashews and my hunger pains did not stop until 12:00! What the heck!!!!!!!! Whenever I eat something I am still hungry like 5 min later!!! It is so weird....usually not like this and it must be from the pill! ARGHHHHHHHHH! I have been on this pill for 4 or 5 months...what the heck is goin on!

Maybe you've just had a lot of stress and eating sweets is how you've been soothing yourself? Just a guess.

sounds like you need to mix in some complex carbs- try the weight smart oatmeal in the morning or adding a slice of light whole wheat bread- it will keep you full longer

IT is probably the pill, sorry but i am sure you will still look great in your dress. You'll be surprised how much they suck you in hahaha. Hmmmm weird that you are still hungry after you eat, are you drinking lots of water? although the whole celery and zone bar will most likely give you hunger pains after.

Thanks girls! I usually do good when I cut sugar out.....like the zone bar. But today I was just SO HUNGRY I had to eat it! Nothing was helping.
I really like the SB diet but anyway I think I need to quit Birth Control. I hate to give up but I just cannot deal with this belly. Even FH was laughing and said I must be pushing it out and I cried and said maybe I was pregnant! LOL! I am ridiculous!

Re: Gaining weight....not good
ugh same here - ive been sick so i figured i lost weight, i got on the scale yesterdy and it turns out that i gained a few pounds! i was like *** ive been slacking though and eating like a beast so i guess thats why - sicne i got invisalign my eating pattern changed a little bit - i used to constantly eat thru the day but for the last few weeks ive just been eating lunch and dinner b/c taking my braces out is annoying - so i think that might have something to do with it....i got to get back on track especially since the warm weather is here! as soon as i feel better i got to get back into the gym!

Re: Gaining weight....not good
I totally feel for you... I gained about 10 pounds over the last 2 years, which doesn't sound catastrophic, but to me its the end of the world. 1/2 of my clothes don't even pull over my thighs. If I had a secret, I'd certainly share it with you! Honestly, I find that I snack at work when I think I'm hungry, but I'm probably just bored.

when i switched from the patch to a low dose birth control bill (i take a generic that is similair to lo-estrin) i lost weight - it was from the patch - doc said lots of horomones - i used to weigh the least when i had my period b/c the patch was off and when i put it back on id gain 5 lbs within 2 days and sometimes it would go up to about 7 lbs....on the new pill that doesnt happen and that 5-7 lbs came off and stayed off

Up your dietary fiber immediately!!!! It will help!! Shredded wheat is a great source for fiber. Make sure you are getting a minimum of 25 g per day. Google foods to see their df content. Foods like lettuce, spinach dont actually have a lot. HTH
Edit: You will feel fuller longer

Try adding more fiber. I substitute a Fiber One bar for a chocolate bar, or energy bar....it fills me up and only has 10 grams of sugar...HTH!

its just what you are eating thats why. When you are starving your body goes into starvation mode and stores fat. So eat snacks between your meals. Eat oranges, they fill you up and hold you over until your next meal.

WIsh i could help you but the same thing happens to me. I feel like im always hungry, i eat healthy but i just cant satisfy my appetite! Maybe since you work out so much , your weight gain is due to gaining muscle too.

AWw thanks.
Sorry I just really needed to vent. You know a few pounds here and few there is really annoying. It is a such a struggles as we get older and it is so annoying!
The hunger has subsided for the day...thank god. I think I just need to get back on track with my eating schedule. I usually do 3 meals a day and many snacks in between. Usually veggies and stuff. I still might quit the pill tho....I really think its part of the prob!
