Feeder or not

[happy days]

Has anyone else turned into a feeder since wls. Iam sure i try to over compensate that fact iam not having much so need to feed everyone else.

Meeeee! terrible isn't it!?

 

[happy days]

Why do we do it mazza? Lol

 

[cu16]

Yes and I have no idea why. I find myself wanting to cook and am not happy until I know everyone has enjoyed their meal

Yeah I put far too much on the plate then try and stuff a dessert down them.
I didn't even have desserts pre op so I don't know why I expect them to eat them now.

Omg me too. I pile up the plates and I want them to finish it when there is not a chance they can(the kids) My cousin's and sister came to visit at Easter and all three complained about me being a feeder,two of them gained 5lbs each. Its terrible but I really cannot help it :S

Just glad iam not the only one.

I have become obsessed with cooking for everyone and I am over shopping and over feeding. I do major Sunday lunches with deserts and we didn't used to have them. I think part of over feeding people I love is to makes sure they have not been impacted negatively by my surgery and my decision. I also quizz them like hell on taste etc and now even ask for a mark out of ten. I need to get a life!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm the same, I'm constantly asking the OH if he likes what I've cooked!

Is anyone else really funny about other people cooking for them? I really don't like anyone cooking for me anymore... Think I've developed food OCD... lol

Hubby cooks these days for him & the kids occasionally I'll join them & eat the same but more often or not I have something simple, low fat & high protein without limiting their diets to the same as mine. Plus I have no real interest in food need to address this but at least I'm managing to eat most of what I cook, zap or put together, just eat because its a meal time rather than for pleasure. Lol

 

[happy days]

I havnt resorted to been marked yet lol lol

 

[Yvessa]

I think for me part of it is the fact that occasionally I resent my restriction. And by making sure someone else eats it it soothes my poor inner child lol. Some sort of vicarious enjoyment!

This is so strange. I keep baking sponge cakes, safe in the knowledge that I can't eat sponge cake without it getting stick and hurting like hell. Last week I baked a large chocolate sponge cake and made my sons girlfriend take it home with them. Thought I was the only one to become a feeder!!

 

[tealovingsleever]

Yup me too!

I also have a baking fetish! And didn't bake before. It must show we still need that bond with good, even if we can't eat as much as before!

 

[happy days]

Wls world of feeders

 

[butterflyinprogress]

Yep I often do a batch of 24 cupcakes for work, done lemon sherbet for a birthday today....didn't bake at all before op....also cook for friends far more regularly than I did!
At work they do actually call me a feeder n complain half heartedly I'm a size 8 n they are expanding

 

[LifesAJourney]

I think because food brought comfort and because that is taken away we need to compensate that with something or someone else??? maybe ???
