Pregnant? Eat all the food!!!

digwriter

Seriously, that's how I feel. Right now I'm munching on chips and salsa con queso like it's my job. It's not even snacking for snacking's sake. There is just this feeling of never-ending hunger. I'm starving when I wake up, I have bags of fruit and veggies and little bits of cheese to keep me throughout the day. I eat dinner and then have a bowl of Cap'n Crunch or some raisin toast before going to bed at night ...and then I'm starving in the middle of the night! This is ridiculous. I was never this hungry with my DD. Never. I feel like I'm carrying a 13 year old linebacker.

My appetite has come back strong today too!! I practically licked my plate at lunch, and I've only been picking at food for weeks.  I feel like I'm having to make up for all those meals I couldn't eat :-)

It hit me suddenly too.

I've had the never ending hunger this entire pg. If I don't eat often enough, I get extreme hunger and nausea. For lunch today (an hour ago) I had a grilled chicken sandwich and nuggets from chick fil a. I'm hungry again. SMH.

I actually do not feel sick today and im starving. Good thing i need to go to the grocery store or i would have eaten everything in sight by now. I'm waiting until Dh gets home so i dont have to take DD to the store.

At first, I wasn't all that hungry.  I had to make myself eat snacks during the day and all like I normally do.  Now, I want to eat 24/7!  And nothing I crave is good!  Fried chicken and McDonald's cheeseburgers are it right now.  Yes, must be McDonald's.  I haven't given in as much as I want, but more than I should!   :-S

I ate 3/4 of a package of Twizzlers. I feel like I am going to be sick. Seemed like a great idea at the time.

I'm constantly eating......All......day.......long! If I don't eat every two hours I get really nauseous. Plus if I don't eat I start over salivating which also makes me nauseous. It sucks cuz I'm not even hungry half the time and yet I'm stuffing my face. So over the 1st trimester!

This made me stop at McD for a hamburger happy meal. I told myself that having milk with it rather than pop made it ok.

I've been stuffing my face non stop today. The count for the day: oatmeal, jalapeno bagel, chicken pad thai for lunch, a granola bar, a small snack pack of fruit gummy, a small carton of milk, now I'm thinking about nuking some edamame in the microwave...  somebody please stop me!  I've already gained 8lbs!

SO hungry. I eat non-stop. I try to make it mostly healthy stuff and I think I'm doing pretty well. I never felt any more hungry than usual during my last two pregnancies. This is ridiculous.

I have to fill my lunch bag with grapes and almonds and cheese. If not I'll go across to the mall or the donut shop. Pinterest is definitely not helping either.

Omg I passed the poptarts at the store today looked at them walked away and then came back. Needless to say I didn't grab any. Now I wish I did! (

I've eaten like a damn trucker since 5wks. It never stops

So glad it isn't just me! I have been so hungry all the time! DH felt my hungry/hormonal wrath when he didn't leave work until 8:15 and I was starving. I told him it was too late to cook dinner and we had to order pizza. Two pizzas and a salad later, we finally ate at 9pm. Not good for this preggie mama!

I hope my appetite comes back soon. You guys give me hope.

I feel the urge to snack all of the time; however, I do not have any snacks in my pantry that I want! I am having major food aversions right now.  I may buy something that sounds good, only to find a few days later that the thought of it makes me want to throw up.  It sucks! Nothing at the grocery store sounds good to me either.  I experienced this while pregnant with DD.  I am so ready to love all of the food again!

Mmmmm, we just saw that there is an Ice Cream Outlet in our neighborhood- you can buy the treats from ice cream trucks, choco tacos, baseball mitt with the bubblegum, etc. I broke down today (in my defense, it's 90 degrees!) and bought these, yummmm. I just ate two.

DH bought me one of these the other day...soooooo good!!

I took zofran this morning and now my appetite is back.  I can't wait until lunch  to eat an entire bag of salt and vinegar cape cods.

Ugh! This!

Like most of you, I am constantly hungry and have to eat every two or three hours no matter what. I can eat pretty much a full meal and then I am hungry again just a few hours later.

hopefulsprout

I had two separate bowls of ice cream last night and most of a frozen pizza. The only time I don't want to eat is the 10 minutes after I've stopped eating. "Healthy" food sounds terrible. I'm up 3 pounds already and was overweight before---need to watch it!! And now, thanks to all of you lovelies ;-), I want pop tarts, mac and cheese, salt and vineagar chips... hmmmmmm.....

The forums really do tend to make cravings worse.

I'm literally eating roasted potatoes for dinner because the turkey I cooked makes me feel gross just thinking about it.

Turkey sounds so gross to me too. It was one of my little sisters big first tri cravings... Thanksgiving food.

Last night I devoured it. I was so excited for leftovers for sandwiches and things. Nope.

YES! I can't bring myself to eat BBQ chicken or pork. Looks absolutely disgusting to me when it's on the plate. But, you chop it up and put it in some Mexican food or some kind of sauce, I'm fine! So weird. I think it was the texture of the meat that absolutely bothered me.

At my work we have a 2 hour peak the whole time it is breakfast sandwich after breakfast sandwich going into that damn oven. It smells so good. By then end of peak I am so hungry and my lunch is still an hour or more away. Sometimes I go around the corner and sneak some sausage in my mouth;)

I'm the exact same way! Some days, I simply cannot get full. So far I've been eating when hungry, and stop when I'm full. Except every now and then, I never get full! What gives? I'm not wanting to gain 500lbs, but if I try to ignore the hunger, I get nauseaus. I'm tired of eating! Lol
