I feel sorta like Bella Swan-Cullen...

in Pregnant after a Loss

You know how when Bella is pregnant (sorry if that's a spoiler, but the commercials make it pretty apparent) and all she craves is blood because of the baby?  I think I'm going through something similar, ha.

I'm not a vegetarian, but the only "meat" I eat (tehehehe, 8th grader at heart) is fish.  I'll have organic turkey on Thanksgiving, and occassionally one of those organic turkey, nitrate free hot dogs if my H buys them (he eats poultry, but no pork or beef).  I swear the only cravings I have are for meat products. 

Early on I remember someone on here craving fried chicken and that was all I wanted (never indulged).  At Thanksgiving I ate a lot of the turkey leftovers, I usually just have a small piece at T-Day and then never anymore.  And two weeks ago I made crockpot (organic) chicken so I could shred it and have a buffalo chicken sandwich bc all I wanted was a chicken cheesesteak.  Last night I came home and all I could think about was a steak or honey BBQ ribs, haha.  I told my H wanted some sort of protein that wasn't eggs, yogurt, or beans, so he went and just got chicken cheese steaks from the pizza shop.  I haven't had one of these in YEARS (like 4 years or so I guess not forever, but feels like it!) since we always buy chicken from whole foods if (he) wants to eat it, never eat it from restaurants.   It was sooooo damn good and I can't wait to finish the other half for lunch today.

 

ok... sorry for dragging on.  Felt like a confession.   Your turn, what have you been craving thats totally out of the ordinary??

 

-- also, I apologize for sounding like we have a totally pretentious diet.  We just really care about where our food comes from and what has been put in it (hormones, antibotics, pesticides, etc) before we eat it.... sorta a "you are what you eat" mentality.

    Vanilla bean cheesecake from TGI Friday's or Cheesecake Factory.  I'm not a cheesecake fan at all, never have been.  But I remember I had a small bite of a friend's dessert a few years ago and it was actually pretty good.  On Saturday a friend posted on FB that she had a cheesecake in the oven.  I immediately wanted some and then cried because they were closed.  I've had a few slices of strawberry cheesecake from the grocery store but I think a trip for what I really want needs to happen this weekend.

    Also, orange juice.  Never liked it but now I'm drinking at least a gallon a week.

    I havent had a really bizarre craving, but Im finding foods that I've always liked, I am OBSESSED with now. The worst offender is black beans, yeah, kind of weird. I've always enjoyed Mexican food. However, now that Im pregnant, sometimes all I eat are black beans! I am a big meat eater, but Im finding I'll forgo meat because Im craving black beans instead. I guess there are worse things to crave, its just strange! I could pretty much eat a black bean and cheese quesadilla everyday, for every meal.

    You remind me of the episode of Friends where Phoebe is pregnant and nothing is good to her except meat.  It's hilarious because she is a strict vegetarian and ends up eating a steak with Joey.

    Actually, Joey becomes vegetarian for her during her pregnancy so she can eat his share of meat and not feel guilty about it. I was thinking the exact same thing!

    At the end of the episode that is what was decided.  And then when Joey was in London he got to eat meat because he was out of the country and it didn't count.

    Peppermint Ice cream with whipped cream.  And hot chocolate.  And Chick-Fil-A's chicken strip salad with Chick-Fil-A sauce instead of dressing...and anything peppermint and chocolate.  Gawd..I love me some peppermint and chocolate!

    I totally get where you are coming from!  I've been a vegetarian for 8 years and usually the thought of meat (especially beef and especially in ground form) really grosses me out.  But there have been moments where I craved a big old burger!  I was a little bit concerned that maybe it meant I was low on iron or protein, but luckily I've been getting plenty without compromising.  I also never ate citrus fruit, but I'm now obsessed with oranges and clementines and eat one or the other every day.
