Hungry Horrors to Can't Eat!

Hallanole

I've been suffering from the hungry horrors until my shower Saturday when I just stopped being able to eat. I've been trying to be good and eat healthy to not gain weight and lost only 3lbs. I was hoping to lose like 10 by the wedding. Just to feel good in a bathing suit and summer clothing. I'll worry about the rest after the wedding. 

My dress fits and it's a corsette so I can get it tighter with no issues.

But really suddenly since Saturday, I just can't eat.

This morning I brought pineapple for breakfast and didn't touch it. Had leftovers from Sunday lunch (only meal all day) and was stuffed after eating that. I went to my friends tonight to semi celebrate her bday and was only able to drink 2.5 smirnoff ices and she forced me to eat a few pieces of meat. And I feel so full.

I really think it's stress related. I was already irked about the DJ's ditzy receptionist that hasn't contacted me back. 2 emails, made a phone call, got DJ cell phone return while I was at gas station telling he was going away and receptionist would call me next day to set up final meeting. Yeah that was two flipping weeks ago. I called again tonight and left another message, even saying that I never got the return call. 

I'm trying to do Thanks You's for the shower, trying to get my other million things done. THEN (yes it required caps) FI tells me tonight at the gathering, he messed up and forgot to put his PTO time in for Saturday so he won't be having a paycheck and he Knows I'm stressing about the money. 

Is anyone else having eating issues? Please tell me I'm not alone.

I haven't had eating issues yet..... but give probably the week before I'll stop eating.  This always happens to me when I get stressed.  I'm going to have to force myself to eat a lot of fruits and veggies that week probably just because I can usually get those down better than other foods.  I'm sorry that you are already feeling this stressed.

Ugh I'm the exact opposite! I can't stop eating or stop wanting to eat terribly unhealthy things! It's awful and depressing! I wanted to lose some weight and tone up before the wedding but I'm having the hardest time ever. Way more than usual! I don't know what's wrong with me Not the same eating issue, but you're definitely not alone

I'm with Nati on this one. I've held off getting my alterations on my dress because I thought I'd be able to lose ~ 5 lbs and tone up but with 30 days to go, that is just not happening. I just decided to bite the bullet and schedule my alteration in the next week or so.

I try to be good but then something comes over me & I can't STOP! I made FI cookies last weekend thinking that I'd have one or two and then be done with them but I ate at least 4 cookies just in the dough alone. Ugh!

BTW - I don't want to freak anyone out so I'll explain that my dress is very simple (not a traditional wedding dress by any means) & the lady I'm taking it to says she needs about 2 weeks to do the alterations. So I'm still fine time wise.

I'm definitely the opposite as well. When I'm stressed I EAT. Everything!

However some miracle from up above has turned my body onto "crunch-time mode" and even though I have been stressing, it hasn't changed my eating patterns. I have been eating nothing but lean meats, veggies, fruits, and nuts with a splurge only ever so often (to keep me from going crazy). Thank God this non-overindulging autopilot has turned on.

I would try to put it out of your mind. If you worry about not eating, that could just make the problem even worse. Focus on getting your to-do's done, and hopefully that will lower your stress and your appetite will return to normal.

I do this every once in a while and just stop eating till I realize it's 2pm and I haven't touched food yet today.  It's very annoying because I usually can't get enough food.  But to ease your mind it's been happening more and more as the wedding gets closer.  Very frustrating I know. 

Just make sure you eat the day of the wedding even if you're not hungry!  I've assigned a BM the task of making sure I eat and don't pass out on the alter...I know when I get super nervous I will not even think about food.

This is me....thank goodness I have maintained the weight I have lost...I just want to lose 5 more pounds before the wedding...but all I want to do is eat...and unhealthy too...I didn't eat lunch at work once last week, went to the store starving and walked out with junk food...
