    Hi Wendy,

    I know what you mean. I went from not having and appetite at all to wanting to eat everything that passes my face. Then I get bloated and my stomach hurts. I lost a lot of weight and now I have picked my weight back up. It's a crazy cycle.

    Yes..I feel like if I don't eat regularly it causes me to have increased anxiety and I get shaky.

    I truly believe it is a way for us to feel better. Like a craving.

    Yes, I go from extreme hunger to not feeling like I want to eat at all. Its a crazy hunger that just won't quit but if I give in to it too much I just bloat and get so gassy. Then next day just could go without food. I still eat my normal food every 3 hours regardless of how I feel. Small meals all including small amount of protein and Veges with snacks of nuts, fruit & sugar free muesli, apple, diet jelly and low carb protein bar. I find this definitely helps and I allow myself 2 cheats each week.

    Yes! sometimes I'm so hungry and then most of the time I have no appetite. I make myself eat three meals during the week, but on the weekends I usually only eat one meal a day. I do try to drink plenty of water on those days when I have no appetite.

      I get it. Sometimes you just have to roll with it until the symptoms pass. Right now now my doom and gloom thoughts are back. I thought they were gone.

    I'm have something similar, but I think it's more "cravings" than hunger. Sometimes I just cannot be satisfied unless a eat a big juicy steak or pizza. It's aggravating!

    Hi Wendy, yes I went from having no appetite to having appetite if you know what I mean..I can't stop eating now,but as the girls say in they discussion if you don't eat you feel shaky and it scares you and you bolt down what ever you can find then it makes you feel better after, I remember before meno not eating just having cup tea and go to work but I was fine, we are going through the hormone hell it will stop one day hugs.
