    I haven't been feeling well the last few days (sore throat/feverish) and CANNOT stop eating!  I ate a few pieces of the pizza I ordered last night before FI even came home, along with a bag of m&ms!  So much for eating well for the 2 months before the wedding :)

    Nope. Opposite. I eat next to nothing when I am sick. Nothing sounds good to me. Luckily I only get sick like once a year. (Knock on wood)

    Yes!! And I always thought I was alone on this. I always overeat when I'm sick!

    Um, like a garbage disposal.  I throw back insane amounts of food when I'm sick.  Of course, this is compared to my daily intake of food which is way above normail to begin with. Ps--pizza stands no chance with me.  If I were sick right now I might try to eat the whole thing!

    Yes yes yes! FH always forbids me from eating when I'm sick. I had swineflu and seriously all I wanted to do was eat. I had a massive food orgy when I got better.

    I'm the total opposite.  Sometimes I'm like, "why the heck haven't I gotten sick yet?  I need to lose weight!".  Lol, kidding.  But I'm a person who loves to eat for the taste of the food, and if I'm sick, I can't taste a thing.  Last time I was sick, I made one box of 'rice a roni' (so random) and it lasted me 2.5 days!

    I clear out the fridge and pantry when I'm sick! My hunger is just never satisfied for some reason. Glad I'm not the only one :p

    I'm so glad it's not just me!!  I get up every 20 minutes or so for a new snack.  And I'm not working out either.  Ugh!!

    It depends on what I have. If I'm really congested, I usually have no appetite. However, right now I'm down for the count with tonsilitis, and I can't stop eating even though it hurts to swallow. Weird!

    I don't eat much at all when I'm sick.

    I do, however, eat like a complete HOG when it's "that time of the month". I can throw back some food like no one has ever seen.

    Depends on what kind of "sick" i am. Sometimes i find myself eating MORE food b/c i can't taste it. So I rely only on texture and "healthy food" texture isn't as pleasant =\.

    depends on what kind of sick I am and how sick I am.

    Sometimes I can't get out of bed or stay upright long enough to get something to eat or actually sit up to eat. Sometimes I can graze all day and I still end up losing a pound or two.

    Nope, when I'm sick I just plain can't eat.  The last time I got the flu, I was sick for a week.... went to go pick up my wedding dress after I got better and the darn thing was enormous!

    It's varied in the past... I think it's not that I eat a lot when I'm sick, it's that I eat the wrong foods. I was raised with the "treat yourself when you're sick" philosophy, so I equate a sore throat to ice cream or a frappucino. Bad me!

    I feel you... when I'm sick there isn't enough junk in my house.  So I order pizza, eat peanut butter and chocolate chips (i know, right), or basically anything else nasty. Thankfully I don't get sick that often!
