What my pregnant self is eating 1/31

JustBored10

Lets hear all the crazy cravings!  

Today for lunch I just had to have an egg salad sandwich Just scrambled eggs with mustard, mayo, black pepper and broccoli sprouts.  With a pickle on the side which by the way tasted horrible.  I thought all pregnant women were suppose to want pickles???

@JustBored10 It's not just you. So far the only food I've really despised was a pickle. I totally gagged when I bit into it. DH says that means it's a girl. I'm not really sure where he gets that.

I put peanut butter on my toast this morning.... and then dipped it into syrup.  It was glorious.

Tuna salad and a massive caramel frapuccino. It was everything I imagined it would be. No more mercury, sugar or caffeine for me this week.

You know my favorite snack used to be slim jims. Not any more!!! Barf! Now I'm all about pizza..or pepper steak and rice!

I have been craving those old school cinnamon bears. I must find some...

jessielegendre

Anything unhealthy! Chocolate, tangy candy, coke (i switched to caffeine free), chips, etc. Whoever said slim Jims that sounds amazing! Haha! There are many things that I start eating then decide I don't want but my one true aversion right now is chick-fil-a. This is awful b/c my family lives on cfa! I mean we live in the suburbs of Atlanta-  they're everywhere!

All the Mexican food... Then I regret it for the next several hours.

I was dying for some chicken salad yesterday. So I made some.. it was amazing! And made me nauseous shortly after.. so that's kind of a no-go for now. But otherwise I could murder a few slices of pizza. And saltines are often my best friend.. but not as a craving, as a necessity to actually allow me to eat said pizza.

Yesterday I REALLY wanted pizza (more specifically Dominos), but a few days before that the thought of eating pizza made me gag. Today I'm back to being constantly starving but nothing sounds good except junk. Case in point: I just ate 2 packs of cinnamon roll poptarts.

@awildrose omg yes I craved Mexican food through my whole first pregnancy! 

Right now now tho I could sooooooo go for Chinese. Sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, my mouth is watering just thinking about Chinese food

And just to add. I texted my husband a monsterous list of food items because he dare asked if I wanted anything from the store... it may or may not have also included all the ingredients for my mom's potato salad that I just got her to agree to make me sometime this week.... (she lives locally)...

Taco Bell, made DH take me by there last night to get me some nachos! Woot!

Corn flakes! I walked in the snow pushing a double stroller to get them. Lol so worth it, I dreamed of them last night.

ashley2824

I had my daughters leftover quesadilla and 2 strawberry popsicles for dinner 

cmar1006

Chocolate lucky charms. Where have these been all my life!? I had a bowl for lunch today followed by a bowl of mac and cheese that I made for DD. Then I had another bowl of cereal after dinner. No regrets. 

msashley2010-2

I had a tuna fish sandwich for dinner tonight at around 10pm lol. (I fed DD a healthy dinner much earlier but I've been too nauseous today to eat much.) 

mrsvp614

I really want tuna. I've been resisting, but I think I'm going to give in.

Recently, it's been chips and salsa, mac and cheese, and cereal. Yesterday, my mom posted a chocolate cake recipe on Facebook and it's all I could think about, so I bought a slice at the grocery store and ate half of it with a glass of milk (I usually HATE milk) It was BOMB.

All the cantaloupe!

Yesss!!!

The veggie chips I've been craving all the time so far have lost their appeal. Had some last night and they were too salty. I just had a sandwich and I want more pickles. Mmm

Aly0430

Yesterday all I wanted was spaghetti. The whole time I was cooking it, I had to keep my mouth shut because I was salivating like mad. I've also craved pizza, cheese-its, and now that you mention it, @GracefulStar, corn flakes sound awesome. Also, tuna. We only have one can left in the pantry, so I'm saving it for a rainy day.

I saw a commercial for a Big Mac yesterday and so that's what I got for lunch today. Brought a healthy lunch and everything to work....

JustBored10

I just ate about 15 cacao covered almonds.  They were delicious but then I looked at the back of the bag and the serving size said 2 almonds How in the world can you just eat only two???

msashley2010-2

@JustBored10 I think a serving of almonds is around 50, personally.  

wyomama0427

These almonds tho. I could eat the whoooooole bag.

ColoradoHiker

I reallyyyy wanted super buttery popcorn last night.  As in, movie theater style with extra melted butter on top.  I skipped the extra, but may try again tonight, because I was pretty disappointed without it!

sableeg

All. The. Carbs.

And the other night all I could think about was mint chocolate chip ice cream and marshmallows! 

LaceyC1020

Pizza!!!!! All I thought about all day at work. Got some for dinner and it was heavenly!

Sugargirl1019

KING CAKKKEE!!!!!!!!!

HollyGolightly09

@JustBored10  2 almonds? WTF?!? That's madness....

Sugargirl1019

After eating 1/4 of the king cake I bought, I am now craving stuffed pasta shells. 

I am a terrible diabetic.

runbyfruiting

I've been craving candy so bad. Not any of the delicious chocolate ones, mostly sour stuff or generic no flavor candy like this: 


Really might have to make a gas station run tonight...

earthtomom

@runbyfruiting Same!! I have been obsessed with Nerds the last few days! 

Im trying so hard to be healthy but all I want to eat are French fries and mint and chip ice cream! 

mercury94

I made the mistake of going grocery shopping hungry, so I had hot dogs for dinner, because they looked good. Also bought a family sized box of Frosted Flakes. Not planning to share it with anyone either. 

ChristineVW

All the carbs. Pasta, pizza, rice, bagels, waffles...I've just decided that my baby just needs extra folic acid so I'm going with it. #bestspineever #momsacrifices

I was overly-hungry and just ate a donut at work and now.....I feel so ill. 

JustBored10

I just had the most Ahhhmazing sandwich!  I went to our local health food store and she makes small things like sandwiches, soups, breads, smoothies etc.  So I ordered a roasted garlic spread (she makes), cheddar cheese , lettuce and black olive melt on her Sourdough. OMG! It was like a french bread pizza sandwich.  I haven't eaten something so fast in weeks!!!

ke0009

Anyone else experiencing this???  I am 8 weeks and 2 days - and i have NO appetite.  This is crazy because i LOVE to eat and a HUGE eater.  But since I got preg I have no appetite.  I drink a TON of water and try and find things that sound good but i am just totally not interested in food. And when I do eat, i eat half as much as i did before... it's weird.  No morning sickness, no food aversions.  Just no appetite.  Anyone else???

I had no appetite last week and the week before that.  Now it is starting to wear off and I just get waves of nausea here and there.  Usually by dinner time I don't want to eat and if I do I get full really quickly.  I am 8+3.  It should get better soon! Just hang in there and eat when/ what you can.

That sounds amazing and I hate olives. This sort of sounds like a muffuletta. My DH brings these back from Baton Rouge and they are to die for! The only time I ever eat black olives
