1st Trimester

All I want to eat is food that is bad for me!

So, I know that we are supposed to be trying to eat very healthy food. Which wouldn't normally be a problem considering I LOVE most fruits and vegetables. But lately, all I want is crappy food. Junk food, fast food, pizza , pancakes, etc. I force myself to eat something healthy with my meals but still! Anyone else feel like this!?Pizza

Re: All I want to eat is food that is bad for me!

  • I felt the same way...  but whenever I gave in to those cravings, I threw up almost instantly.  Nothing more depressing than losing the pizza you wanted to darn bad (goofy hormones!)

  • Absolutely! Vegetables seem gross to me lately, and I eat at least one piece of fruit per day, but other than that all I can tolerate are things that aren't good for me. It's so hard to eat healthy when your body has different ideas.

  • It happens, eat what you can while you can. I just started to eat healthy again if that helps any. I ate so much junk in my 1st tri.. but didn't gain 1 single pound. And since when are pancakes junk food? lol

  • Pizza is my favorite thing right now. I want it every day. I made myself a fruit salad yesterday for a snack to make myself feel better. I'm trying very hard to add fruit in and eat more salads which isn't a problem because I love salad. It is very hard but I'm trying my best.

  • I am the same way!  Today I vowed to eat better as I went back to work.  I had a salad with lots of good stuff but...it tasted liked grass.  It was so yucky!  I can't win.
  • Haha...I Love pancakes. Yeah whats so unhealthy about them!!! Good Call!
  • I LOOOOOVE pizza right now!  I woke up throwing up yesterday and couldn't keep ANYTHING down--almost threw up just making my son's lunch for him--but when Hubby got off work and called to see what I was in the mood for...I told him pepperoni pizza...I ate 3 pieces!!!  And felt fine after!  I'm a health freak and eat so good always--especially during pregnancy!  But for whatever reason I want pizza, In and Out Burger, fries, brownies, cookies you name it!  Yikes!!!  
  • I crave soft-serve ice cream every single day...I tried the healthy frogurt route...NOT the same.?
  • This baby was all about green chile cheese fries until about last week.  I was eating really well before BFP right up until week 7 and then veggies started sounding disgusting.  I was eating pretty much whatever sounded good because I was afraid of getting too weak from not eating at all.  In the past few days I've just started back to my normal healthy ways.  Eat what sounds good, and just know that it won't last forever.
  • Yeah, I definitely had pizza & breadsticks for dinner tonight.  Then DH decided to build me a chocolate cake & I loaded on the chocolate fudge frosting & sprinkles & had a nice big piece while watching The Bachelor.  Mmmm.

  • I give myself permission to indulge twice a week. The rest of the time, I just try and eat plain simple food that won't make me feel ill. Grease always makes me feel better so that's hard to resist. I do eggs 2-3 times per week but bacon only once a week. I love protein, but I try to vary it up between higher fat and lean. If I have eggs in the morning, I make sure I have lean throughout the day. My MS is worse in the evening, so I am trying to have a bigger lunch and then something small in the evening.

    Fortunately, I could care less about sweets. Full fat flavoured yogurt and chocolate milk (which helps with the MS) are my sweet indulgences.

    If I'm really craving something bad, I eat a pickle. Full sour.?

  • Yah I normally love fruits & veggies but around wk 6 that was out the window.  Now I only want pizza, donuts, cake, chips & shrimp. Dairy products aren't really working well either - I get sick if I eat yogurt, cheese or milk.  I'm still trying to force myself to drink 2 glasses of milk a day - 1 being Carnation Instant Breakfast to help with all the nutrients I'm not getting.  I'm really looking forward to being able to eat normally again.

    Yep.  I have been feeling that way a lot.  It is why I have already gained weight :(
