So I’ve started estrogen around 3 weeks ago (hooray ()/ ) but have noticed one thing that is really bothering me.

I feel like I could eat the entire day through. I’m just constantly hungry and it really irks me… Before, I had absolutely no issues going with one, maybe two small meals a day (when not at work) and sometimes even completely skipping a day. But now I pretty much need a chewing gum to sedate me from eating all the food that I made for myself for today and tomorrow.

It’s really tearing on me… Yes, I am slightly underweight (56kg/173cm) but the fact that I am a little slim is like 30% of what makes me pass even just on 3 weeks of HRT…

I don’t want to gain weight, I don’t want to lose this figure of mine, I don’t want to waste so much time and money just eating…

I know that this is probably partially an undiagnosed eating disorder speaking but does any one of you have a similar experience?

The fat i’d accumulate wouldn’t go to my ass or boobs… I have no chance of getting much of either sadly so it would just collect as undesirable belly padding…

    I always keep a supply of nuts, mainly cashews and salted peanuts, on my desk to snack on during the day. Healthy fats!
