So great to hear everyone is struggling with food as well! I don't feel alone! I havent eaten a complete meal all week I can only handle a few bites then it's back to saltine crackers.
But I feel super accomplished tonight cuz I was suddenly craving tacos. My hubby was so happy I wanted to eat he got me 5 and I ate all of them! Guess I need to listen to my cravings more often.
It's so nice hearing what ya'll are going through! I've had am sickness so bad the past three weeks I haven't been able to stand without puking let alone eat. Then one day gummy bears sounded good so my hubby bought me a 6 pound bag from sams club.... I've probably gone through about 2.5 lbs in the past week
Pineapple is my new obsession! And Twix, oooo and Cracker barrel Mac n cheese. I have never craved a sub from Subway so bad until Dr. said no deli meat.....grrrr
I have ribs for breakfast this morning. I ordered them last night to eat for dinner and could not eat anything last time. So I had frozen yogurt for dinner last night and ate the ribs warmed up this morning. oops. I'm not sure if we are even allowed to eat smoked ribs.
I peed myself today. My bladder was full, I'm taking off my boots and the pressure on my bladder was too much. I couldn't stop it
I've been close! Getting inside the house with two little ones, taking off coats, boots, gloves, etc. and then getting them situated , I am always dashing to the bathroom.
I'm so grateful sweetnsassy23 started this convo. This is our first baby and I've always eaten very healthy...but lately all I want is nasty fast food. Especially McDonald's! Ugh...I hate it. My fiancé cooked a very delicious looking grilled chicken meal a couple nights ago...instead of eating that I ate leftover jack-in-the-box tacos and a LARGE strawberry milkshake I felt like crap afterwards...but it was soooo good while I was eating it.
Last night I sat down to watch a movie with the jar of pickles and almost finished them. Afterwards I just felt horrible. For those of you with morning sickness tell the Dr to give you meds they work great.
I haven't had any morning sickness or really much for symptoms besides being constipated, tired, and moody ... but I said I did all Friday because everyone of my friends asked me to go to their house for dinner and my grandparents too but I just didn't feel like any of it.
I have no choice but to eat well - my fiancee does the cooking. I can't boil water myself without summoning a demon.
I am totally in the junk food stage right now. Flaming Hot Cheetos, slurpees from 7-11, spaghettios, toast... I just eat what I can and as soon as I feel better, I'll work on eating healthier food.
I feel a bit concerned for some of you that are lying to your SOs about what you're eating because you're afraid of judgement or an argument maybe? Your SO should be supportive no matter what and that's a little disconcerting that you feel like you can't trust them with this info. I understand that they probably have your best interest at heart but explain to them that there isn't much you can stomach right now and they shouldn't judge you for something you can't control. If they still want to tell you what you can eat, seriously tell them to fuck off because that's manipulation/ borderline abuse. It is impossible for a man to empathize with a pregnant woman, he can only sympathize.
I kinda told my husband that I was tired after breakfast so that he would clean up the kitchen and I could rest... I don't think he believes me when I tell him I need extra rest! I-)

I had ribs last night, not something I eat all the time, but what I could stomach I ate.
I haven't really got much morning sickness at but when I found out I was pregnant I started eating really well (which I never normally have ever) and when I was eating good is when I started getting sickness so I stopped the one day and just eat like my normal self and I'd never felt better felt really well. I don't eat eat too bad but I will have a few naughty things through the day I still eat meals
Last Saturday all I could think of was Olive Garden! I wanted it sooo baaaad! When it came time for us to go, I suddenly had no desire for it and craved an ice cream float for dinner instead! Thankfully my bf humored me and we got stuff to make floats and that's what we ate for dinner.. it was amazing..No regrets! Hahaha
I was craving Olive Garden SO BAD last night, so DH and I went and I made him wait 45 minutes for a table. It was SO good at the time, but I ended up throwing it up when I got home. Curse you, MS! Now all I want is a hamburger from Whataburger. My non-pregnant self would be so ashamed right now. Lol
O'15 September Siggy Challenge -- Third Trimester Woes
Since being pregnant, my typical well balanced eating has changed dramatically.all I want are McDonald's hamburgers and I've developed an aversion to water (of all things).I'm hearing its only a phase but I hope this phase won't harm baby.
I have laughed so hard reading all of these - makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one - I typically love salads and I can only stomach two bites - I normally hate fast food, but have been finding it hard to resist - good to know I'm not alone : )
I have to laugh reading some of these . . . All you ladies who normally eat really healthy craving nothing but McDonald's and I was sitting here eating a huge salad for dinner. Normally, I *try* to cook healthy, but it's more like I'll make a Ceasar salad to go along with my spaghetti and garlic bread and I'm craving all the carbs.
Now, while I do crave sweets some, I'm all about the vegetables. Salad was the only thing that sounded good for dinner.
I ate boxed cheesy mashed potatoes for dinner and it was amazing! Craving lots and lots of carbs (bagels, au gratin potatoes, pizza) which I did with my DS so I'm embracing it!
After I took my daughter to the library today I drove to the gas station and bought Tostidos Pizza Rolls. I microwaved them and dipped them in mustard. Oy!
So glad to read this. I've been craving cheese pizza lately. Yesterday I had a slice of cheese pizza for lunch. Then I stopped at target on my way home from work. Ate a lunchables nachos and salsa, a totinos party pizza and two mini smart ones cheeseburgers when I got home. Have regretted it ever since. Just saltines today
I LOVE these posts. This is my second pregnancy and very different from my first. My waist isn't the only part of me that's expanding at 8 weeks.
The other night my husband brought home Ben and Jerry's without asking me what flavor I wanted. I cried (of course, lol), and refused to eat it. Then, I ate the entire thing the next day during my lunch break. Whoops...
I'm sick to my stomach all the time, if I don't eat every couple hours I start dry heaving or if I smell something gross, lol. Can't wait for this part to get over with, I've lost 13 lbs since the beginning for Feb. Why wasn't it this easy before I got prego and was dieting?
I was on vacation and since I couldn't drink I was eating Snickers in my room. But I would try to counter balance with a salad the next night. Also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches help that sweet craving and are way better for you.
My normally level headed and "smile through it" self has been sobbing every time I get into the car and yelling at my bosses when, you know... THEY CAN'T HEAR ME.
Oh good It's not just me. Today is the first real day I almost started crying. Usually I just get angry! Maybe it's the time change along with working straight through the last 3 weeks with no days off to recoup.
I eat super healthy during the week .. but over the weekend I ate pulled-pork and cheese nachos, Burger King chicken nuggets and fries, and topped it off with a Five Guys cheeseburger and fries... I cannot believe I did that!
Totally regret it! Back to salads and lean proteins all week!

I'm struggling with water too!! I normally can chug a 10 oz glass and it's like heaven - now if I chug it I'm near throwing up and sips of water are so gross all of a sudden.
