So I AM alwasy hungry

For a while now I have been feeling guilty and one of the reasons I started this blog and a commitment to get healthier was because I kept stuffing my face but drank little water. You see I would eat my food and down it with soda. I would keep a soda near my computer for easy access instead of drinking water or juice. When I got married I weighed 130lbs when I became pregnant I was @ 134lbs but lost about 3 lbs in the first trimester. By the end of my pregnancy I was weighing 154lbs. Not bad. Once my baby boy was born and I mean IMMEDIATELY after his birth I weighed 11lbs less. I slowly started loosing the weight while nursing ( I am still nursing).

In January 2009 though hubs started bring A LOT of junk food that I don't even like but because it was readily available I kept eating it. I did the math and I was actually ingesting about 4,000 calories A DAY for a whole month. I actually gained ALL of my pregnancy weight back. SUCKS. So recently I started leaving healthy stuff near my computer so when I reach out and stuff my face its good stuff. So when I did that I was STILL so hungry. I read that sometimes you are not actually hungry but thirsty so I started drinking a lot of water.

turns out that after drinking nearly 1/2 a gallon of water today (its only 2:21 PM) I am still hungry. So I started another bowl of rice with beans and that will probably hold me off for a couple of hours. Since I am nursing the amt of water I am drinking is good I also have kidney problems in the family and I suffered from them as well until 2006. I guess I have the metabolism and hunger of a teenage boy. Alhamdulillah I guess?

Isn't it funny how husbands try to be nice and end up sabotaging our healthy eating efforts. I've been trying to remember to drink more too. Cutting out soda will definitely make a huge difference to how you feel.
