all i want is junk and fast food!

crystalmeyer08 · August 2011

So before getting pregnant, I always ate healthy..lots of fruits and veggies...lean meats...RARELY ate fast food (like once every 2-3 months if that)...and when we go out to dinner I always get healthier options like grilled chicken and always trade out fries for veggies. Well in the past few days all I want is some fast food! Preferably wendys...a spicy chicken sandwich combo. even when I used to eat at wendys I would resist the temptation and get a kids meal or something with less calories and fat. Anyone else in the same boat? I don't want to gain too much weight too fast...but it is the only thing that sounds good!

I was like this with DS, and I swore I would be better about it this pregnancy. FX I will be able to!

Me too! I never ate fast food before getting prengant. I just had to have Taco Bell nachos the other day (haven't been to Taco Bell since college years ago). The worst was Jack in the Box tacos, I had a bad craving for those and had to get some. They're pretty gross, haha.

ME! I was always very conscious of my protein:fibrous carb ratio and rarely ate starchy carbs. Now all I want is dairy and starch. I'm currently indulging in homemade nachos on flax seed chips, chicken, black beans, corn and cheese. I am hoping the chips, beans and corn satisfy my carb craving. I've also been trying to justify my fig netowns as a fruit...no? Stick out tongue

I had this problem with my last pregnancy. I had such bad m/s and the only thing I could stomach seemed to be fast food. I was really hoping it would be different this time around, but no such luck. It's all fast food and junk again, well besides saltines and 7-up. And I will say that eating fast food/junk food in moderation really didn't affect my weight gain during preganancy as much. Just try to keep it in moderation.

I basically want nothing but carbs and cheese. I ate a baconator the other day and the fact that the grease had made the bun soggy barely registered with me.. I saw it and kept going. How disgusting.

DO-JO, that's hysterical. Baconator. You MUST be pregnant!

biochembelle · August 2011

Okay, no baconators yet, but I asked my husband to go to McDonald's, which NEVER happens. I ate pepperoni pizza 3 days in a row. I just polished off frozen yogurt (from the grocery store) and M&Ms.

I also told myself I was going to eat healthy and gain weight at a moderate through this pregnancy. That lasted 2 weeks.

My husband is loving this. We are eating all sorts of stuff that we normally don?t. I had hot wing pizza, a bacon cheese burger, and we went to a Chinese buffet this weekend. I want to enjoy this before the morning sickness kicks in. BTW hot wing pizza is awesome?but it did give me heartburn.

I eat whatever sounds good and most of it isn't great for me. I fully believe 1st tri is about survival and eating what you can stomach, it gets better when m/s passes. I'm still food logging and I've been way over on carbs lately - before getting pregnant I never came CLOSE to going over. But as long as my calories are good that's all I care about for now. The thought of lean protein and/or veggies makes me gag.

I'm totally guilty! I had Lo mein, wonton soup and buffalo wings for dinner! Totally confirmed indeed I'm pregnant! LOL

I had a bagel with cream cheese, a twix bar and a diet ginger ale for lunch today. A completely ridiculous lunch, but it was the only thing I could really be in the mood for.

mumegs · August 2011

omg I was doing good until a couple days ago, I was dying for McDonalds cheeseburger! This was after I had already eaten dinner too. I went out and got the 2 cheeseburger meal and ate the whole thing. It was like the best thing I've ever tasted too....aaaah

I was like that with my first pregnancy and learned my lesson the hard way. I gained 60 lbs that did not just fall off. Even with breastfeeding as people told me. This time I refuse to give into craving and have been working hard to continue exercising and eating right. Including veggies.Not easy the first trimester, but losing the weight post pregnancy sucks twice as much.

If you have a craving tr to satisfy it with a healthy alternative or a small portion.

I haven't eaten fast food (like mcds or bk or whatever) in so long I can't even remember the last time. Probably 5+ years.

But the last couple of days I am ashamed that I sort of WANT to. I don't get it, I don't even like fast food. It's weird. But I may have to give in soon.

To y'all what is better- McDs, BK or Wendys? Its been so long I can't remember. When I take the plunge i want to have the best possible. I will probably just get a burger and fries. I sort of remember liking BK the best when I was younger but I'm not sure why.
