I can say the pred munchies have kicked in as am sitting here eating sweets like theres no tomorrow knowing that i shouldn't but seeing my hand reaching for yet another one and it ill be like that untill they have all gone the only thing in my defence is i did buy only a small bag and not a jumbo bag i know i will be moaning later but right now they taste so good.

Ha, I know that feeling well. That's one problem I have with sweets, and I don't even take the pred anymore! Once I start; I can't stop! I know sugar has a terrible effect on me, so I'm trying to keep grapes and "good" sugar around. I can remember a long time ago one of the folks on here mentioned that he had been put on pred and he posted in the middle of the night saying that he found himself sitting on the floor in front of the refrigerator eating every bit of his wife's chocolate. I can still play the scene out in my head, lol, and I could totally relate at the time!

I know you have the eat me voice in your tummy much stronger than the dont do it in your head lol I bet his wife was mad chocolate is chocolate no matter what.

lol, I know, I can just picture what his wife was thinking! The funniest part is that he didn't even care for sweets...lol. Still makes me laugh. I'm pretty even tempered and I almost took off some poor store clerks head one day...because she didn't have any creamy peanut butter on the shelf. ;-) Swear, true story!

Hmm sounds like me once a month with PMS...lol. I remember the pred munchies well and I have a high affinity for sweets to begin with. It always sucks though that everything you crave is just going to end up making you feel like crap later. Not fair...

Lol Carol I think you should be able to have those moments for what we have to go through!! :)

I agree Sam! Worse yet, I'm starting the menopause stage...so my hormones are telling me what to eat. Hmmm, Nutella and Mrs. Richardsons Caramel sauce...just a spoonful? lol.

I am currently experiencing pred appetite too! And packing on the pounds to boot. I know in my head that the weight is fine and I'd rather be healthy than skinny, but still hard to have the pants not button. At least the pred is working!

Ha I can totally relate to all of u I just recently got diagonosed with UC and got but on pred and I found myself literally eating everything in sight. One night I made cookies, went to bed and at 3 in the morning woke up and sat with the fridge open with the gallon of milk and I ate at least 5 of the cookies. And I had to step back and ask myself what washappening to me. I felt like a fat cow for doing that. And I was always hungry it was driving me nuts. And yet I have to start up the pred again I'm a little nervous.

Thanks to all of you
