What are you eating this week, ladies?

Cereal. It’s literally the one thing that tastes amazing to me. I ran out of my favourite kind and I’m so sad. I found an expat store that sells it and ordered 2 boxes. Hopefully my H will go pick it up for me. 

Also fruit especially grapes, apples, and kiwi. 

ElcaB

Still on a steady diet of fruit, bagels, and PB&J over here! Not much else because it all sounds awful. 

I MISS FOOOOOOOOOOD. 

ETA: @AKuzReve, what's your favorite cereal? I'm partial to frosted mini wheats!

Bread. Goldfish crackers. Fruit. French fries.  Really, really well balanced diet.

@ElcaB, lol cinnamon toast crunch. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m a fake grown up. 

mrosek91

@AKuzReve ME TOO! I make my husband by cinnamon toast crunch, trix, cocoa puffs, all the stuff that we weren't allowed to have growing up except "special days"
I keep thinking that I don't know how much longer I have to enjoy it, because "This is Mommy's special breakfast, you have to have cheerios" will only work for so long. In fact I'm kind of surprised it's still working.

wanderlustsoul

@mrosek91, yessss! It just tastes soooo good and refreshing to me. I ordered some and my H needs to go pick it up but is busy with work. I just want my cereal. I’m hungry! I also think lucky charms will go well too. I might ask him to grab that as well. Thank the universe for expat stores since they don’t sell that stuff here.

I've been trying really hard to get fruits and veggies down.  I have trouble digesting them so I've resorted to liquid intake and dried fruits.  I think its a fair compromise.   We had burgers last night, bbq chicken the night before, fish tacos made with fresh lingcod caught locally.  Brussel sprouts, salads, greek yogurt, hella bananas, oatmeal, avocado.  I usually eat pretty well except for the lack of most fruits and veggies.   I've never been one to splurge on sugary things but I do love salt and vinegar chips.

Red Gatorade is amazing (I’m so tired of trying to push water). 

Thin mints (the knock off kind bc our cookies aren’t in yet) are amazing. 

Red gatorade + thin mints = NOT amazing

I will not make that mistake again.

@mrosek91 I make it very clear what’s “mommy’s special snacks”. I think the kids are scared to touch! 😂😂

@ElcaB I have a box of frosted mini wheats in my desk drawer. 

I’m with everyone in loving breakfast foods and fruits. I’m still struggling to eat more veggies. Chicken salad has been a favorite this week, I’ve had it for lunch or dinner every day. I can’t live without cold OJ with breakfast.

Breakfast foods (especially McDonalds bacon egg and cheese biscuits and Chik Fil A chicken minis), Lucky Charms, rainbow sherbert, and cranberry juice mixed with ginger ale.

@thirdtimesacharm2019 - RED GATORADE IS LIFE. 

zamoraspin

@kellyrn9956 Yes. I love McDonald's biscuit with egg and cheese (I don't eat meat). I had one for lunch today. Idk why it is the only form of eggs I can eat...

Also, I will take all the fruit I can get. And also lemonade or limeade.

@heml chicken salad sounds good!

@peachy0709 this ^^^ was my diet last week, until we ran out of gold fish 

this week it has been cereal, bread and baked potatoes. with some fruit thrown in .  

peachy0709

@Avrilmai - ooooh a baked potato could be a good change of pace for me....

Avrilmai

@peachy0709 the "potato" button on my microwave has become my best friend. hot "baked" potato in about 5-7 minutes. 

suzycupcake

I made a kale salad with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a few squeezes of orange. So yummy!

Edit oops forgot to say there are diced things in it. Cucumbers, almonds, and tomatoes. 

WinchesterGirl

As many breads as I can fit, the occasional apple, and pretty much any potato without dairy. 

Not the healthiest rotation, but it's staying down. 

law_and_little1

Kraft macaroni and cheese, and a lot of apples.

wanderlustsoul

@law_and_little1, I found kraft Mac and cheese at the expat store and made it yesterday. It tasted soooo good. 

law_and_little1

@AKuzReve It's really something else!!

agpandme

Im not sure why but I am in this weird place where I don't have much of a dinner appetite but I force myself to eat at least a little. But in the morning I am famished. I get up just to inhale a banana.  I wish it was more balanced.  

zamoraspin

@agpandme I was that way all last week. One night it took me until 8pm to be hungry enough for half a bagel, but the rest of the day my appetite was normal. For me it passed after a week or so and now I have a pretty normal appetite and ability to eat.

WinchesterGirl

I'm craving beef like no tomorrow! I'm assuming it's the rapid increase in blood volume making me crave iron, so I'm going with it. Also still loving potatoes. 

allyfeegs

I really like pickles. And today I’m really wanting sausage. ?? So weird! I survived on Mac and cheese but I think I’m sick of it now. Also really enjoy Lucky Charms. Wish I craved something more healthy but oh well!!
