No cooking for me

Is it just me or does anyone else not feel like eating anything that they prepare? I just want to eat out or order in. Anything I think of making, grosses me out. Hmm I guess I just won't cook for the remaining 8 months. HA just kidding, I wish!

Re: No cooking for me

  • cooked food in general hasn't been appealing to me.  I've been wanted a lot of snacky foods, but not real meals.

    After smelling a food the whole time I am cooking a meal, I have trouble eating it. I have been doing a lot of quick meals for this reason.

  • @blams05 that's exactly it! I hate smelling it for an hour and then eat it.
    And I've definitely been snacking more too @Bootsie81 I think I only end up eating one meal a day, sometimes two

  • I feel the same way. I did our last grocery shopping at Trader Joes and bought frozen meals. At least I do not have to worry about extra chemicals and preservatives in the food. It takes everything out of me just to put that in a pan and heat it.
  • Food is the devil right now. Don't let me smell it, see it, touch it, eat it, it all makes me feel so sick to my stomach
  • My nausea is so bizarre. It's on and off, no rhyme or reason why it appears/goes away, and sometimes goes from wanting to vomit (haven't yet) to being hungry in minutes.

    I have the same issue when preparing meals and smelling the smell while cooking. Makes it really unappetizing, but I've still been cooking in order to try to eat as healthfully as possible.
  • Nothing ever sounds good. I'm not turned off by smells or sight, I just don't want anything. It's getting really hard to eat balanced meals this week. I'm struggling.

  • OMG thank you all because I feel exactly the same way. I even pack my lunch for work and end up buying it elsewhere. Hopefully this phase ends soon!

    I opened the fridge this morning to pack my lunch, and ran to the bathroom. Morning sickness is lovely, and I hate food. Anything that I make at home doesn't get more complicated than a piece of toast right now.
  • Food is the devil right now. Absolutely nothing sounds good and I have a husband who doesn't want to just eat out or order in because I can't stand the thought of my kitchen... So not working for me.
  • I had this issue this week. Last night I only had chicken broth then my husband cooked us some steak and the smell was killing me and I did not eat it, i went to be with not much in my stomach and woke up around 3 am very hungry... I am only craving fast noodles and yogurt.
  • Omg....i would eat As much mozzarela with surimi and lemon as posible. That i can cook and eat. Well cook...fry the surimi in a pan....and i would eat a whole chocolate factory with charlie in it. Anything that has sugar sounds yumm...and of course after all that sugar my face is breaking out.
  • I usually cook all of my family's meals and love to cook but I haven't been able to cook for the last two weeks. And when I can put a meal together, I can't eat it. For a while the naked fruit juices were really good so I got some ingredients to try to make them at home but I can't even find it in me to go throw one together. Tell me this will end eventually!
  • It's funny you say that because that's all I've been thinking about having this morning. I have some frozen fruit as was going to make a smoothie but that didn't happen
  • I have zero taste for any foods and nothing sounds good at all. I've actually skipped meals all together a number of days this week and wasn't even hungry.
    This morning everything sounded horrible but I made myself eat and it wasn't too bad.
    All sugar and all greasy things gross me out even more right now.
    It's just my daughter and me at night 5 days a week so she's been getting a lot of quick meals that I barely have to look at or smell.
  • Same here. I loved cooking, not anymore. Made nachos the other night, they were so good but halfway through the smell made me feel sick. After making something, I usually don't want to eat it. Leftovers..............FORGET IT! I want to eat out all the time. Yesterday, Taco Bell for lunch. It sounded so good!!! Today, yuck, sounds terrible. Gotta love it! 
    Can't make the ticker work. I give up! 

    First pregnancy, due November 2nd, 2015!


  • Cooked last night for the first time since I found out I was pregnant and not even 10 minutes of me putting the chicken in the pan I was in the bathroom throwing up it was all stomach acid. I hate cooking !!!!
  • My food aversions change on a daily basis so I can't even go grocery shopping! Half the stuff I bought the other day sounds disgusting now...I don't want it to go bad, so I make my husband eat it! But even the smell of him cooking is horrible. Just can't win :(
  • It's pretty much become impossible to plan ahead. Everything sounds gross to me if I think about it for more than a minute, but then I end up wolfing food down (only if it's carb based). Nausea comes in waves, but then remains at a low, consistent level unless I'm eating something. Right after I eat I feel full, and like I could vomit. This is the WORST!
  • OMG Yesss!! I literally made myself some lunch and I was like "I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS!" I split it in half with my husband. I'm having the cramping and waves of nausea but it isn't too bad. I'm just still in disbelief that I'm preggo!
  • Yes, I constantly want fast food and nothing home cooked sounds good. Good for me that I don't cook anyway, my husband does it, but still everything sounds disgusting to me except for fast food.

  • My poor family. I feel awful. I haven't cooked in 2 weeks. Can't stomach it. Thank God my mom had offered to cook for us.
  • Any quick, easy and bland snacks are my friend right now. Just opening my fridge is sickening. My husband has been a good sport the last two weeks but not sure how much longer he will want rice for dinner.
