Can someone please tell me why I am constantly starving?
especially in the morning. 
I still have "reserves" from the pregnancy which I will NEVER lose as long as my tummy is a bottomless pit.
I've been up since 6:30 and I've already eaten a bowl of oatmeal and whole wheat raisin bread with peanut butter.
I am eyeing my lunch like it's Monica Bellucci covered in chocolate holding a big "GO FOR IT" sign 
it's only 11:15

You are nursing, you need about 300-500 extra calories per day. When pregnant you only need 200 extra per day. Making milk takes energy!

I am the same way. I can now out eat my husband!  and he is not little. I can't get any of the baby weight off this way......
Of Course working out a little might help me too 
How old is your LO, I saw your post about reaching and I wanna know when my DD is going to start doing that

I am not BF, but I have been working out and I feel the same way. I am always hungry. I don't think I'll ever lose the weight if I keep this up.

I'm also out eating my husband!! The constant hunger has finally just started to diminish at 12months PP. It also took a good 9 months for all the baby weight to come off and nowI'm still losing and thats still with me eating more than I ever did!!!

BFing definitely has that affect.
Unfortunately, I was never one of those EBFing moms who experienced amazing wait loss from BFing. Probably because no matter what I ate I could still eat more.

Omg jess I almost just posted the exact thing . And yes, esp in morning. I had a bowl of oatmeal wth some walnuts and half banana at 7am. I've been starving for like two hrs already so I just made 2 egg whites wth a slice of turkey and a piece of whole grain toast.
I find its like I need 2 breakfasts

I am the same way unfortunately, DS is 14 months I am still BFing and stll struggling to lose weight. Of course it doesn't help that there are girl scout cookies in the kitchen calling my name  I tried to donate them to DHs office and he refused to bring them to work!

Re: Can someone please tell me why I am constantly starving?
I am the same way. I am hungry all day long! The worst is that I eat more than my DH for dinner, and am hungry again 5 minutes after I finish! I'm a bottomless pit. It's definitely the BFing, I ate half as much when I was pregnant.
