Healthy Eating
I am failing at this so hard. For breakfast this morning I had two bowls of chocolate Cheerios, and for dinner last night I had French Fries. Usually at work I'm able to have salads a few times a week for lunch, and I can do eggs and yogurt for breakfast, but I feel like as soon as I get home it just all goes to Hell.

I'm not going to admit to how many animal style double-doubles I've consumed
When I can eat, and it actually stays down, I eat whatever sounds good. At this point, I just need food and I can't be picky about it being healthy!

We had a company party last weekend where I ate two full plates back to back. I havent done that since college. I will no longer pass any food judgement!
You should all be ashamed of yourselves...[stuffing a 7th sugar cookie into my mouth...]
I don't normally like sweets at all, but over the past few weeks, since my nausea has subsided, I'm eating cookies, cakes, hard candies, and Poptarts every day. Oh, and 3 days ago, my husband brought home a box of Russell Stover chocolates for me to enjoy ever the weekend - not a sampler, a whole big box - and every single one of them was gone by dinner time. I'm trying to compensate by eating healthy stuff before indulging, but sometimes I just don't care. This morning, my breakfast consisted of 2 huge slabs of cheese danish and 4 Rolos, and then lunch was half of a deli rotisserie chicken, 1 clementine, 5 strawberries, and, well now, 8 sugar cookies. The Holiday season makes healthy eating a challenge. Just do what you can to sneak some healthier choices in there, too. My husband thinks it's hilarious, because he's the sweet eater in our house - he's excited that our baby seems to like all of his favorite foods. Even my 5-year-old son shakes his head at me when he offers me carrot sticks while he gets them from the fridge for himself, but I'm too busy shoving cupcakes into my gob...

My niece is healthy and thriving. As are my kids despite the embarrassing amount of fried pickle spears I consumed while pregnant with both of them.
Yup, DS turned out healthy as can be despite my hellish pregnancy and horrendous eating. Funnily enough he hates ranch dressing and beef which are two things I lived on when I was pregnant
Don't be too hard on yourself and take baby steps (lol @ my pun) where you can! It sounds like you are getting some healthy foods in there so not too bad. I bet you can find some after work foods you love but also that you feel good about eating. I've found pregnancy is a really hard time to take hold of my stomach. It has a mind of it's own. For me, it may have worked in my favor as I seem to have a really picky eater on board who doesn't like sweets or too much of anything. I have such a sweet tooth so this is so weird! All I can do is small very slow meals.
Says the girl who probably didn't have any morning sickness...
Lol ya i wish.
Sorry if I jumped to conclusions! I just find it hard to eat well with my morning sickness. I lived on soup most nights for a while even though I know it isn't good to eat that much sodium. I was feeling much better for a week or two, and I was able to eat much more normally again. However, as I am approaching the end of the first trimester, it is now coming back with a vengenance, and I am eating whatever I can to get by!
Mine too! The only things I want are carb and sugar filled. I have thrown out countless veggies and fruits in the last few weeks because they just don't sound good, and I couldn't bring myself to eat them.
I haven't eaten the healthiest either. Baby seems to like wontons, taco shells with just a little cheese and tomatos, gourmet sausages, cookies and candy and orange juice.
I think the best thing one can do is try to get something healthy once and a while right now even if it is just juice. Maybe as we progress we can eat healthier.
