The dangers of shopping while pregnant

queenbone · January 2013

Went to the grocery store today. I walked down the chip aisle to get some peanut butter pretzels for the boys and then couldn't help but put some doritos in the cart for me. I very rarely buy chips, but they were calling out to me.

I was so tired when I got home so I only put away the things that needed to be refrigerated. After he finished his snack, DS2 brings me over the bag of doritos and gestures that he wants me to open them. I said, "No, it's only 10:30; it's too early for doritos." And then two seconds later I was like "eh" and opened the bag of doritos. They make a delicious second breakfast.

Hopefully I'm not the only one with no will power in the store.

I'm the same. Last time I went to the grocery store, I went down the granola bar aisle and came out of it with a box of chocolate Pop Tarts. I don't think I've had a Pop Tart since I was like... 12? But they were yummy!

My hubby and I went to the store last night to get mac and cheese and hot dogs. We ended up also getting yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, and ramen. If not for a tight grocery budget, I also wanted to get pudding, chocolate cake, and cheese danish. And I had to eat one of the yogurts as soon as we got home, even though I was starting dinner..

And I just wanted to say I love your siggy picture. Your younger son looks just like DH did when he was little, so it makes me smile every time. You have a beautiful family.

Thank you, you're very sweet.

And a cheese danish sounds delicious!

I bought so much junk last time I went shopping. I HAD to have Cheetos...the puffy ones. Then I found chocolate chocolate chip cookie mix....bought two. So many more things I don't even want to get in to it. Stupid end caps with food that just screams to me right now. Normally I am a strict stick to the list shopper!

The best is when your DH gets something for you! My DH is a veggies and healthy eating kind of guy. But he came back from Costco with Wheat Thins, Chocolate Pretzel bars and Strawberry grain bars. Carbs!

I never eat chips. MH eats them all the time. The other day I saw a bag of guacamole doritos in the store so I bought them.

Yay, that's what I had for breakfast today... the whole bag.

When we went down to Florida at the beginning of the month we hit the local grocery store to buy granola bars & oranges & other stuff to keep in the room for quick breakfasts before heading into the parks for the day. We walked down the chip aisle on our way to the register, and somehow a can of sour cream Pringles got into my basket. ;-) It had been a long day of travel so when we finally got back to the room it was the first thing calling to me. . . and I think I ate all but a few chips (that my SO snagged before I could) within an hour or so. I haven't had Pringles since high school, but man, they were delicious. It's kind of making me hungry just thinking about it. . .

I know of these dangers! It's always the things I'm not supposed to have that I want the most while I'm in the store. I crave lunch meats like crazy these days! I want bologna right now..

This! I have been unable to stop thinking about cheetos puffs... Like now, I know there's a bag of them waiting for me at home... I still have at least 5 hours before I am home.

Confession: I originally wanted to buy the cheetos, because of the cheese puff posts on this board. But I tried to talk myself out of them. Then I saw the bag of doritos and convinced myself the corn in doritos is healthier than the corn in cheetos. Confused Yeah, good luck with that!

For some reason Pringles are my weakness right now. Doesn't matter the flavor though I'm a huge fan of original.

...and now I need some cheez doodles. Or at least pirate's booty if I'm going to be "healthy" about it...
