Summer Heat Poll

I lose my will to exercise when I'm overly hot, but not to eat, unfortunately. The only thing that ever puts a dent in my appetite is being really sick.
Thankfully, I'm becoming more and more adaptable to heat with the years of hot yoga. So these days it's pretty rare for me to really feel hot.

This is so me. Summer heat is such an appetite killer for me.
I know that feeling. It kills my appetite for like 12 hours, maybe a day. 2nd day, I can still be throwing up but my appetite comes back (in force) before the nausea goes away. It's so, so wrong.

When DH gets sick in any way, he doesn't move from the bed for days at a time and consumes nothing but small amounts of Gatorade. I don't think he quite believes that I'm sick because I tend to wander from room to room and definitely still eat no matter how ill I am.

When I was a kid, we rarely had junk food in the house. Whenever we were sick, or recovering from a dental visit, mom bought us cheeseburgers from a fast food joint called "Harvey's."
To this day, I crave cheeseburgers when I am sick or suffering. They even took away my morning sickness when I was prego. And yes, that is just SO unfair!

Exercise kills my appetite (immediately, at least, not the long term). DD actually eats more when she is sick.
I don't think I gain summer weight because I am eating that much more, but I do think I burn calories faster in the cold. I also like to experiment with cocktails in summer, and I'm sure that doesn't help. Winter, just give me a Manhattan, a beer, or red wine, and I'm good. Summer, I get out the herbs and the fruits and the muddler and start going crazy.

Being cold definitely burns more calories. It's science!

I find just being near the water does this to me, but especially swimming. I hear again that this is related to being submerged in water resulting in lowered body temps.

I am always hungry, its very rare that something will kill my appetite. I rarely get sick but even then I still eat normally. Activities like surfing and skiing have me STARVING afterwards. When its crazy hot and I am outside I definitely eat less but it really takes a lot to make my appetite disappear. DH teases me because I am discussing ideas for dinner while we are still having breakfast.
On the flip side, I usually wake up starving.
I'm always thinking about what deliciousness might be my next meal.
One of my (picky eater ) coworkers said she wishes we had Jetsons pills so we didn't have to cook or eat. I'm still mind boggled by this. I can't think of anything worse.

If its a gym night and I have a smoothie for dinner I usually wake up starving the next morning too.
OMG me too, I can't imagine not experiencing the joy of eating/cooking. One of my greatest joys is a fabulous meal; either home cooked or out. Top it off with a craft beer or otherwise fabulous tasting adult beverage and I am as happy as a pig in you know what.
