Raging Hunger during Ovulation?

Anyone else get super ravenous hunger during their ovulation week? Every month it happens. I can't get full no matter what I eat and end up wanting to eat constantly. OMG MAKE IT STOP!

YES. It drives me crazy. I tell my husband that I feel like my food isn't even going into my stomach. It's like my ghrelin production goes into overdrive.

I try to accept that it will happen, that I'll be puffy that week, and that I just need to buckle down and deal with it. I plan in a little bit of extra exercise into that week to compensate (or distract myself from eating), but it *is* okay. Some days your body just needs more nutrition. If you make smart choices, you can have those bottomless pit days and not go entirely off-plan.

But I sure as hell have a slice of pizza during that week, lol. ;-)

SERIOUSLY! I'm glad I;m not the only one. And this is the first month that I realized exactly why it was happening. Most people feel this way when their period is here or about to come, not I... just during ovulation week. And yes, I think pizza is in my future tonight. Thin crust though of course LOL.

Omg! I thought I was the only one! This is my week and like you, I have those days when I feel I can eat and eat. Ugh. I try to stick with my healthy veggies, but sometimes I just want chocolate or ice cream.

Again, I'm glad I;m not the only one. And this is the first month that I realized exactly why it was happening. Most people feel this way when their period is here or about to come but I don't feel this way on my period, just during ovulation. My hunger is insane today. I have been managing it by drinking water but it isn;t helping much.

I was talking to my nut about this last week. Soooo glad it's not just me. It feels like nothing I eat satisfies me at all. That is usually the week my weight doesn't move at all. About the only thing that satisfies me is a good hot cup of diet hot chocolate with Redi whip. It's chocolately warm goodness and only 25 calories. (plus it goes towards my fluids) always a plus.
