Faaaat:
Over the past few weeks I have gained 15 lbs without even trying, 8 of those in the past 3 weeks. All of my clothes barely fit. I was wondering what was going on with my body when someone asked what I eat in a day yesterday and I finally realized I just need much more to feel satisfied and started eating without noticing what I am doing a lot more. Like in July I had one Sandwich for breakfast before work. Now I have two and then two croissants at work to tide me over until lunch. I am also always getting dessert with lunch now and eating a lot more candy and snacks over the day. When I come home from work at 4 pm, I am starving for some reason, so I have something like 2 sandwiches again to tide me over until dinner. Then dinner and of course something sweet afterwards. If I end up going to bed late, I am getting hungry again at like 11 pm, so I will have another small meal.
In July I used to have just 3 meals and the occasional treat. I also need way more food to not be hungry at lunch or dinner. None of this was intentional and I really have mixed feelings about it. It feels so hot too gain so fast and I enjoy not having to think about what I eat so much. The idea of having to control myself and go on a diet almost makes me wanna cry. At the same time it kinda scares me with how fast it's going and that it wasn't intentional at all. It's just like my body finally gave in and knew to get me to let loose I couldn't be paying too much attention too it.
Has anyone ever had anything similar happen and if so, did it slow down after a while or keep on going?
If you want to slow down, you don't need to necessarily diet. But I would up your veggie and protein intake as well as making sure you are getting enough water. Sounds like your diet is mostly carbs.
