Lurking on other boards and thought this might be a fun one to add. Hope that's ok! 

I'm all about trying to stay fit, but these food aversions are real. And my love for cheese has only gotten worse!

pelorunningmama

Superbowl leftovers will be the end of me. Taco cups, 7 layer dip, pizza bread. That has been dinner for two nights now.

This child makes me hate veggies. They make me gag unless it is a cucumber avocado roll

MSUgrad12

Oh man, I've been all about the pasta. Last night in class, the girl next to me had ruffles sour cream and cheddar. I ended up with two bags during the break. mmm... no regrets

bearsandbeets7

Made DH go to Walmart when he got off work last night because the baby needed some mini M&Ms and I've proceeded to eat half the bag. Also left over Mac and cheese for lunch today!

DDRRT1982

My love for breakfast food is pretty intense.

I have had mad cravings for french fries and pizza. DH says we cannot have those every night or our entire family will be gaining weight lol.

THATdisneyMom

I'm so sick I can't even drink water. I eat and drink anything I feel like I can keep down. No shame. I'll worry about being healthy once I quit puking all the time lol

Yup. Last night's dinner was the 2nd box of pigs in a blanket (used the 1st for the SB). That's it. The only reason I didn't eat more than that is because I already had several handfuls of potato chips when I got home from work.

I've been trying so hard to eat healthier breakfasts/lunches because I know by the time to get to dinner it's going to be a disaster.  Somehow I doubt my weekly prenatal yoga will make up for all of the crap I'm eating!

DressageDarling

I just want all the French fries. All the time. I've been trying to eat healthier and be active, but the fries are winning currently. 

Whitmore1027

French Fries, Burgers, Pizza, Mashed Potatoes, Chick Fil A, and SALSA. Omg...I am LOVING SALSA!

smilormarie

Love this. Dinner last night consisted of two bowls of generic brand honey nut Cheerios. And I don't even like Cheerios. But that's what sounded appetizing!

pelorunningmama

@smilormarie I have been eating Cheerios like it is my job this pregnancy.

texasmama2014

Omg. So many cravings now. I love junk so much!!!

searchingforameaning

chicken pad thai and crab ragoon for lunch. cold pepperoni pizza for breakfast. I am eating everything I probably should not... but who wants to eat quinoa and kale anyways???

beenabee

I don't have a specific craving, I just can't stop eating. Food is my craving

rvamom90

Yes! I ♡ this thread! I ate a salad the other day for the first time since getting pregnant. Last night it was a bbq sandwich with coleslaw, potato salad, seasoned fries, and thin mints. I eat chips and drink all sorts of juice like they're going to be taken off of the shelves. Cheeseburgers, chicken pad thai, ranch pringles, etc have been my go-to...oops!

ginger819

At work the other night I ate half a Pringle can of salt and vinegar chips. I had no regrets. That's the biggest meal I've had in over a month. 

jacmkelley

So I'm craving the best of both worlds. I want broccoli with lemon and parm on top. And when I am being bad it's like pizza or burger and fries. And it literally is hot and cold! Last night I had pasta and then ice cream afterwards soooo bad!!! And so good!

tresamigos

CARBS! Give me all the carbs!
 

kcolly32

Pasta and cereal and anything sweet are the main cravings. I went through a chocolate milk phase for a few weeks. Now it's any kind of cereal that's bad for you, I've been killing some lucky charms!

TX126

Today was Fat Tuesday - I fully took advantage...lots of King Cake and chips/dip.

sdavis2189

Cereal. So much cereal. And also pizza and sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are supposedly a pregnancy superfood, so that's how I justify the deep fried version. 

Duffgurl

I vary from Chili Cheese fries, Fruit, Ice Cream, Nachos, Cheeseburgers, Tomatoes, Hummus, cereal and more. Lol I'm pretty much Tempelton from Charlottes web when he goes to the fair  

kriley602774

Carb central here. Pizza, breakfast cereal, bagels, toast, pasta. NOMS. And SB goodies I just couldn't stop... Buffalo chicken wing dip, French onion dip and chips, garlic pizza. OH EM GEE!!!

Pepper6

My appetite has been so up and down (mostly down) that I eat whatever sounds good. Sometimes it's fruits & veggies, others it's crap. Yesterday, all I was able to eat the whole day was 1 toaster strudel and 3 girl scout cookies. It's getting ridiculous, I miss eating like a normal person. 

texasmama2014

Ate a whole steak burrito from chipotle, followed it with a Heath bar. I brought chicken and veggies for dinner because I'm staying with my parents tonight. But... Mom made chicken tetrazzini.... I'll totally eat some veggies with it, maybe...

ramoseecology

@texasmama2014 I've never had chicken tetrazzini but it makes me immediately think of that Maury clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU2W-C8Mo30

If only there was a good gif!

Snaps816

I just got home from work, and as I usually do, I went to the fridge and started stuffing my face with whatever I could get my hands on. This time it was some leftover pasta with marinara (at least it was whole wheat pasta?). I'm pretty sure what I ate constitutes a full serving. But for this pregnant lady that was just a little appetizer before dinner. 

Aug2016BBNY

Lol I love this. Aside  all the carbs that exist,  my weirdest thing is constantly wanting plain noodles... and cheetos and cantaloupe. 

Bookhousegirl

@ramoseecology yes! That's all I think of too!!

And what is with Cheerios and pregnancy?! I had 2 giant bowls for dinner tonight and did the same thing 2 nights last week. I've always liked them, but this is getting out of control!

bearsandbeets7

@Pepper6 I can totally relate! Some days I'm starving and some days I want nothing to do with food. I couldn't even enjoy super bowl snacks because I drank too much water and juice and my stomach was full. 
The Girl Scout cookies sound like a good choice though!

serah496

Eating healthy gives me reflux. Eating Chinese food gives me reflux. Eating sugar gives me reflux. 

But seriously, today I had peeps, a heath bar, and a bagel for lunch. I felt a little acidic, but not awful. Dinner I had chicken veggie soup and blueberries and now I feel awful. My breakfast has been a flour tortilla topped with margerine and Ovaltine. 

Sooo much chocolate milk and milkshakes!

tmk0325

While I am still doing yoga my eating has been horrible. All I want is carbs... Mac and cheese, pizza, cereal, cheese, bread... I almost hurt SO when he attempted to take my doughnut the other day.

What is leftover mac and cheese?

BritMC18

My cravings are coming in weekly waves of fast-food naughtiness. At week 13 it was Arby's roast beef sandwiches; week 14 was Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich; this week my cravings elevated to greek chicken kabobs and tzatziki sauce. 

smmrsunshine

I could probably eat macaroni and cheese EVERY SINGLE DAY.  And not just kraft, but velveeta, Panera mac and cheese, Lobster Mac from Green Mill....point me in the direction of some other cheesy pasta and I'll be all over it.  Just thankful I've only gained 2 lbs since finding out I was pregnant.  My food aversions were very strong all during my 1st trimester.  I FINALLY feel like I could MAYBE eat a vegetable, but let's not get too crazy.  I had a side salad with dinner last night.  Woo!

LadyBear10

Chipotle.. and I am not talking the salads or lets omit this to make it healthier. I want everything all piled up in my giant burrito bowl and eat the whole thing. I went last week, and DH is trying hard to talk me out of it this week. 

ellehobbs

Two things i love right now...my unborn child and pizza. End of story.

cal031686

Cravings are intense. If I don't eat what baby is craving my stomach hurts and I feel sick. So last night baby had a Cali roll for an appetizer (thanks sushi thread) then a homemade cheeseburger and fries for dinner. Baby was happy and mommy felt great.

Cheesy fiesta potatoes from Taco Bell. *drops the mic*
