a hearty appetite

Posted on November 21, 2007

Before I got pregnant, I had a hearty appetite. I’m not a heavy eater but I’m not a picky eater also. I am one of those who go for small servings but eats several times throughout the day. I usually don’t have just three meals a day. I’d have snacks in between. When I got pregnant, my appetite got close to my husband’s. I’d eat more times and bigger servings too! I would often use my pregnancy as an excuse. After giving birth however, the appetite I got used to for nine months stayed with me. I had trouble containing my voracious appetite. Thank goodness I was breastfeeding, I was losing pounds despite all my eating. For some people, their appetite cannot be controlled that easily. Some cannot be controlled by a diet but might even need Lap band. The procedure is the least invasive weight-loss surgery available and has helped a lot of people lose weight. What happens is surgeons position a band around the upper portion of your stomach, making you eat less. For those who have weight-loss problems, this just might be one of your better options.
