you pregnant?

Nahh but, I typically make a delicious shake consisting of oats, peanut butter, egg white protein for my first meal. I'll throw in a banana if I'm feeling crazy.

I was the same way a few years back. I just started force feeding myself protein shakes and meal replacement shakes in the morning until my body got used to it and now I can't wake up without being hungry. Other than the force yourself method, I'm not sure what else to suggest. There is a product on Nutra called Grub-On thats supposed to increase appetite, so you could look into that.

Yeah same here, and I wake up hungry too. Actually, I've been able to do away with my alarm clock because I literally wake up @ the same time everyday with my stomach growling for food. I also eat a fair amount right before I got to bed too, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Hey Gator, is that your gf / wife in your avatar? Damn son! <high five>

Could it be anxiety related? Prior to meds (7yrs ago) I couldnt eat in the morning due to those issues. Even now, if I have something extremely stressful in the day ill have the same problems. If not, just try adding a few bites of food each day/week until you are able to eat without problems.

I usually have a 16oz steak most mornings with no problems.

Being nervous/having anxiety has always hindered me from eating in general...as do most people. I had problems eating in the morning, now it isn't so bad as I'm still in the process of force-feeding myself. Breakfast is important meal of the day, and I used to go mid-afternoon without eating...starting to force-feed instant oatmeal...talk about gag! Though sticks to the ribs!

That's Tim Tebow the florida gators QB in his avy, so unless he's indeed tebow himself, i'll guess we'll never know who the mystery woman is.

try waiting 40 minutes until you eat. I get sick too if i eat the second after waking up

Do you eat before bed? I know when I eat before bed I wake ravenous.

[maynehood171]

Personally, most of the time I shake/eat before I go to bed, or hour before. I wake up early as it is and it's hard for me to "wait 40 mins" to eat as then I'm in class...though on weekends or days I don't have classes (college) I can easily wait to eat or cook something cause by that time I'm ready to go and eat.

Can u explain in more details? You mean you feel depressed in the mornings? Like low will, bored? because some times when i sleep bellow 7 hours like just 5 or 6 hours, i wake up real negative and like bloated, i don't know maybe coz my cortisol levels are too high

Or you mean you wake up real full, without any hunger at all. Coz if it's morning blues, a dark expresso coffee might help
