i am weird according to those who really know me. i am not fat but i eat a lot of times per day. my boyfriend even laughed at me when he was here last year to visit me and my family. he says that he's amaze that i eat almost every hour of every day and yet, i never gain weight. i don't know why but i always crave for food and usually it's very untimely. there are times when i already were able to be asleep for hours and yet i wake up and find my stomach craving for something. and ofcourse, i get up and find something to eat and get back to sleep after. how about you. do you have such untimely food cravings, too?

It is not good to sleep immediately after eating. You will have to give something like 30 minutes leeway for the food to go down. Have you noticed that there are times when you taste that acid-like liquid which gets into your mouth from somewhere if you immediately lie down after eating? You must avoid that from taking place. That's bad. Although I have already quite forgotten what the doctor told me about it. Sorry, I cannot tell you everything about this thing.

When I am at home I tend to eat frequently. I like to take more snacks and tea. But I have never eat in sleepy mood or you can say in between sleep. Even when I getup in the morning I don't like to take anything till one hour. But in normal time I eat somall samll portion of something frequently.

good for you. aren't we lucky? however, in my case, there are times when i just want certain foods. like today i really want to have a chocolate cake. so, even if it's too late at night already, i went out and bought a roll of cake in a 24 hours bakeshop. gosh. i was so tired upon coming back home. well, i enjoyed the cake anyway.

I am the very same way but as I have gotten older, I cannot eat a whole lot because those pounds will tack on me like glue. I stay hungry all the time too, but I never know why. I seem to never get a full feeling in my stomach. I used to be able to eat all of the time and never gain an ounce, but as I have grown older, I still stay hungry but I have to watch what I eat or I will be tow ton annie, laugh out loud. I wish I was skinny as a rail so I could never worry about what I eat or how much. I wake up through the night also and I have a craving for food as soon as my eyes open. I don't like to feel hungry, so i go ahead and eat something.

well, so, lots of us love to eat. good thing i am not alone. sad to say your tummy's getting bigger. if you have time, atleast do some sit ups in a day. atleast 30 counts to start. you'll feel better and more comfortable.

I am at home all day long doing nothing at all and I reallt feel like eating so much that I just dont understand wht to do. I feel hungry and get the craving to eat more and more like chocholates and icecreams, I guess a lot of it is linked to our hormons and our emotions and stress

yep. that's why i always have ice cream in my fridge. i love it especially when poured over with chocolate syrup! maybe it's linked to our hormones and moods. especially when i am about to have my period, i love to eat a lot.

I guess your metabolism is really good, compared to mine which I think has already slowed down. If I eat and drink for a week, I add up some weight and sometimes, it takes me a long time to shed some of it. I also crave for food, usually during afternoons and midnights. Whenever I see a picture of a good food, seen some on tv or even when someone talks about it, I go out and cook some to stop my tummy for grumbling!;) I guess I'm not one of those so-called health-concious people, when it comes to food.

I wish I had a stomach digestion like yours because I also love eating. My husband is also amaze on my eating ability. I can eat three plates of rice and after taking that I can still eat snacks but the bad thing is I look so fat after doing that kind of eating habit but the weird part is i'm no gaining weight when I try to look my weight I just look more bigger. So even I don't gain weight I still having some diet sometimes because I look more bigger time by time I do eat a lot.
