Title: HANGRY!!
Post by: GetStuffedPeri on April 19, 2020, 10:30:31 AM

Does anybody notice a correlation between hunger and a much shorter fuse?  Is this low or high estrogen?  Being starving and raging just isn't pleasant - and the need to eat is IMMEDIATE!  Then the next day - zero appetite....  :o

Yep.   Don't you notice children in pushchairs get grumpy when they are hungry?  Mums keep telling them 'in a minute' but babies/toddlers need feeding and they need feeding NOW!

Have snacks 2 hand?  Grapes, bananas, dried fruits/nuts ...........

Let us know what he suggests ?

I was advised to eat every 3 hours: 24/7 all year round ;-) and I didn't gain weight!

You'll already have starved to death, that's why she gets to eat you. I would have been too in the past, not so much recently. Middle aged spread  >:(
