What are your cravings and are you allowing yourself to give into them??

Macleod49440 · July 2011

Lately Ive been wanting salads with creamy dressings and pizza sauce. I try to eat veggies and dip them in the low calorie dressings or just let myself eat ceasar salad (which I never really liked before)

Im not really into the foods I used to like either which I find weird!

Anyone struggling with anything food related?

Jeter1028 · July 2011

Yes, I've been giving in because if I'm actually craving something and can actually eat it, then by golly I'm going for it. I swear I will start eating alot better when this m/s goes away...!

Macleod49440 · July 2011

Oh and I constantly want fast food! Burgers and fries are so yummy which is weird cause I never ate like this before I was pregnant, I usually stuck with the healthy stuff and NEVER went through a drive thru.

I hadn't gone through a drive through four years prior to pregnancy. Went to McDonald this weekend & Arby's 3 weeks ago. I'm keeping Fiber 1 bars in my car, so when in need and want to go with my craving, I pull that out.

I have not been eating. Nothing sounds good. A few times I dream about food and have to have it. This morning I woke up craving cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and I'm definitely getting it. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be like my other cravings, where I want it so bad and it doesn't live up to my expectations.

With my being sick all the time, I wrote in my blog the other day, when my body lets me eat, I feel like a champion.

Taco Bell tacos. They are the MOST AMAZING THING EVER(right now) LOL!!! That is the only one I give in to sometimes, but try to stay away from. Otherwise, I totally lucked out and am craving fruit. I love strawberries so much. Soooo much. LOL;0)

cathom7 · July 2011

I, too, have also had cravings that once it's in front of me, I can't even LOOK at it. It's so disgusting. LOL Drives hubs insane. $50 on Chinese food I dry heaved at the smell of. LOL

Macleod49440 · July 2011

oooooh Taco Bell! Gotta go there tonight!!!! lol

girley75 · July 2011

I am addicted to Fiber one until I found out they are supposedly not good for you during pregnancy. Just passing on the word.. (I still have practically a whole box of fiber one brownies in my cubbard)

THIS!

I crave anything that doesn't make me want to vom.

I haven't actually thrown up yet, but the way I am feeling I think I would feel better. FH is worried because I am eating ritz and saltine crackers and not much more. Gatorade is a staple. I've tried a few things and I literally cannot swallow it. Blech, hope this goes away soon. I am trying to stay positive that a) I am 3 weeks past my last pregnancy which ended in m/c so I've passed that milestone and b) I had NO symptoms at all with the m/c so I guess if these feelings are any indication I am VERY pregnant...lol.

shortsweet&sassy · July 2011

I've been craving lots a fruits and veggies but I have also been craving fast food. I try to only give in to those cravings once or twice a week, mainly because its expensive!

mamaofboys · July 2011

The only things that I have craved so far has been chicken shawarma and ice water (which is wonderful thing to crave as I normally don't like water)

I decided that this pregnancy I would give into my cravings (unless its like every single day, ridiculously expensive or something really unhealthy like eating butter by itself).

halo_tx · July 2011

My theory right now is whatever actually tastes good/sounds good, I'm eating it! I have lost some weight due to nausea so I'm not stressing about weight gain right now. Once I'm feeling less gross I will try to eat a more balanced diet. I am trying to make sure I get enough fruits/veggies in just for nutrition

I was craving this exact meal and had it for lunch- it was the best thing ever! Hope yours is good too

pennyandandy · July 2011

I am craving anything Mexican food. And (sorry Nory!) but I want a Chipotle burrito so bad I could scream. I will have one in 2 weeks when I go to the big city for my niece's b-day. I eat a lot of chips and salsa, and DH and I stopped at the little (authentic) taco stand in town yesterday.

Umm, and Cheetos. What the heck? Usually I hate Cheetos. I am eating some right now!

iPOAS · July 2011

I feel nauseous most of the time and meat is pretty much out of the of the equation right now. I've had pizza for 3 of my last 6 meals, so yeah, I'm eating whatever I can stomach.

sapphirebride06 · July 2011

I've been wanting peaches so bad I literally almost drooled when I thought of them. Today H came home and had a bag of 10 Fredericksburg peaches and I've already eaten 4 of them. I told him if I wasn't already pregnant with his baby I would be tonight lol. They are the best thing ever. Everyone's telling me this baby is a girl, but I think it's another boy - I craved fruit with DS too and salty things - I wanted to drink soy sauce and could chug Italian dressing (I won't of course) so if cravings are any indication it's another boy!

kasey9kahne · July 2011

I gave in to cheddar cheese, summer sausage, banana on a ritz cracker. Yes, I said banana. It sounds gross, but it hit the spot.

manda42 · July 2011

I've been craving Harvey's Onion Rings for about 2 weeks. I thought if I ignored it, it would go away, I'm thinking maybe this weekend, I'll give in.

roxyu · July 2011

Soft pretzels! I found the copycat recipe for Auntie Anne's online and am going to attempt to make them this weekend. (Will be much cheaper than buying one everyday!)

With DD all I wanted was McDonald's cheeseburgers and chocolate covered doughnuts, so I'm glad the craving this round isn't as fattening!

tlivingstone · July 2011

One minute i am starving, then the next nauseas. Im also wondering if anyone else feels sickly full after half a meal? I used to be able to eat everythign on my plate. Now if i do that i feel horrible and to full. I am only 6 weeks.

I've been feeling this way too. Super hungry, then I eat too much (an amount that wouldn't normally be too much) and feel too full and yucky. I need to learn to just eat frequent small meals, but when you're so ravenous, it's hard to stop yourself! Tongue Tied

Early on I was craving salty stuff like pickles. Now, I'm more into sweets. I know I shouldn't have, but I had a whole lot of sugary sour candy last night, oops! Boiled eggs also always seem appealing, and fruit, I think because I'm thirsty all the time and fruit is wet (generally).

Macleod49440 · July 2011

I can TOTALLY relate. When Im hungry, I eat WAYYYY too much and the only thing I want to eat is fast food, ugh! I dont want to be a blimp but its all I can stomach hahaha.

I'm the same way (9 weeks, 3 days in). I am lucky if I eat 75% of what I used to eat, and even then, it takes me at least twice as long.

RNmommyof2 · July 2011

I am frequently starving and then I get 5 bites in and I'm stuffed! No wonder I've lost 3 lbs in the past 3 weeks!

I am desperately craving french toast right now. It sounds soooo yummy!

I think I may try to make bagels tomorrow. I've never tried to make them before and they're a favorite around here.

Macleod49440 · July 2011

I am also noticing this as well, I cant eat half of what I used to, its like my stomach has shrunk which I guess is ok seeing as I dont want to gain too much weight right now...

anigirl16 · July 2011

So far I've craved pizza, strawberries, corn, baked potato, a burrito and I'm almost certain that I've forgotten others. I do give in and I have what sounds good at the moment.
