do i have a health problem
Ok im 18/female. I've been eating alot. I didnt use to eat that much in the begining of the year, now when I eat I have to eat at leace 3 plates to get full. I know for sure that I'm not pragnet, but people are starting to relize how much I'm eating & it's embarassing. I use to be the one that always finishs first, now I'm always last. What do you think is wrong with me. Thank you =)

If you have been eating until you get full, your stomach will stretch to contain more food for your appetite. Here's a website that gives you more information on binge eating:

Also drinking a lot before eating can help fill you up faster. Try to keep yourself busy so you can be distracted from eating more than you should. Also try cutting portion sizes. You may still be hungry but if you continue to eat smaller portions, your appetite should adjust. If you are still struggling with fulfillment in your appetite, contact a doctor. Also a doctor may find another problem such as parasites in your body or maybe binge eating disorder.
It would be healthier if you try the 6 meals a day diet. That will up your metabolism and will maintain balance as your metabolism breaks down your food.

Possible vitamin deficiency.
Look into getting a good multivitamin supplement to use each day and see your doctor to have some bloodwork drawn up to make sure you aren't suffering from an illness, especially if you aren't gaining insane amounts of weight with such increased eating. If you are low on some vital nutrients, minerals, or vitamins it could be from previously dieting or simply exercising way too much for your own health.
Try drinking more water in between your meals. Sometimes you can feel hungry when your body is really just very thirsty. Drink pure, clean water--no added sugars or flavors--to help your body hydrate properly and break down the food you are consuming.
Speak with your doctor to make sure there isn't any underlying health condition. Many diseases and parasites can cause you to eat a lot. It's better to be safe than sorry.
