Snack attack

Just went to have a small snack before I start preparing dinner, because I just shoveled a large amount of snow and now I'm starving. Lays chips...healthy snack choice I know. Intended to have a handful or so...looked down to find I'd eaten three quarters of a large bag! Munchies got me again!!!!!!! This seems to be occurring a lot more often the last couple of weeks. My appetite is voracious!!!

Re: Snack attack

  • I remember the days when I could just eat breakfast lunch and dinner without snacks in between. NOW i vacuum up snacks like nobody's business, before and after and in between each meal. Its amazing how I can devour food.

  • I ate a box of jalapeño poppers last night as an appetizer. 600 calories. Whoops.

    Then I ate dinner when DH got home.

    I feel your pain
  • Yup just had a pre dinner "snack" of a giant bowl of cereal and a third of a bag of goldfish crackers. Now currently texting DH asking when he's going to be home so I can eat again. Not sorry!

    I now want jalapeno poppers.
  • Just had a pre dinner frozen burrito.


    Side note: clicked on this thread bc I totally read "shark attack" and I had to know...
  • I just had dinner 2 hrs ago...I'm probably going to eat the whole bag of cookies  :/

    Glad I'm not the only one!

  • I had about three-quarters of a bag of tortilla chips the other day. That kind of thing is so common now that DH just laughs when he goes to get chips and the bag is almost empty!
  • Yesterday at work the only thing I had was a 20oz (1lb) can of crushed pineapple... I ate the ENTIRE can... One pound!! Needless to say it did not sit well with me and I was running to the bathroom 5 minutes afterwards.
  • I'm really into ranch dip (made with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream) and carrots recently. Weird.

  • I've been eating a pre bedtime meal of cereal many nights.
  • Pb&J with a small pack of fruit snacks is the pre-bedtime snack this week.
  • I guzzle down milk like my life depends on it now. I'm going through a gallon every 4-5 days on my own!
  • Tonight after supper I told DH that the baby wanted cookies and he was like so eat a cookie.  I was like you don't understand  It has to be a cookie from McAllister's Deli.  Needless to say I went out and bought several cookies.  Ate a couple and craving is gone and I still have cookies (and a brownie) left.  Oops.

    That's good! I was just told that a quart of dairy products a day is ideal. That's a lot for me, but sounds like you've got it down!

  • I have been on a cereal kick for most of the 2nd trimester so far!  I can't stop myself!!  I normally don't eat cereal because I hate how it tends to cut up the roof of my mouth but I just power through because Baby gets what baby wants! lol

  • Cereal def is my favourite snack at the moment!! It's amazing
  • I've been loading up a huge bowl of Cheerios with some kind of fruit. I too have been craving milk a lot more!
  • I'm loving my pre dinner snack. Monday it was cereal. cereal is our life right now. Yesterday was left overs from lunch, and egg salad sandwich. hit the spot!
  • I am OBSESSED with cereal.  I bought a box of fruit loops with marshmallows on Sunday.  Finished it last night.  :#

  • I ate a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream last night by myself. I feel no shame or guilt about it either...it was purely divine!

  • Now that I am less congested, I am rediscovering my love of food! I was so stuffed up that I couldn't taste anything and just ate because I had to. But now I am eating because I remember that I really enjoy eating. I had read somewhere that the reason Ben and Jerry's has so many chunks and swirls is because one of the creators (either Ben or Jerry) has anosmia and therefore has a limited sense of taste so he relies on mouthfeel. I will agree that the only food that I was excited about eating was Ben and Jerry's ice cream because even though I couldn't taste, it still made me feel happy. Wow, if that doesn't describe an unhealthy relationship with food, I don't know what does!

    But I will echo the cereal fans out there! Just today I have had 3 bowls of shredded wheat and plan to have at least two more before the day is over.

  • You guys are amazing! The milk thing is funny as I've been the same way. I'm actually lactose intolerant so I rarely eat or drink any dairy...but I finally caved and bought some lactaid and lactose free milk and I'm demolishing it. Sooooo goooood! Might have to get some cereal now. Mmmm
  • One of my many snacks is attacking me. This is day two of an upset stomach. The current suspects are veggie dip, the new cream cheese i tried, or hot chocolate.
  • Just had a cup of cereal at work for a mid-morning snack. Thanks for inducing this craving! Up next for craving accomplishments: Monkey Bread

  • I ate a large bag of malted chocolate balls last night- I made the mistake of looking at the caloric content AFTER finishing the bag... Yep, 1700 calories
  • I've always been big on snacking in secret (because I don't like sharing, not because I'm ashamed of what I'm eating). Never done this really since being with my husband because he doesn't inhale snack foods like my family does, and maybe I'm more generous with him. But lately there's been a lot of secret Nutella snacking. This one might involve a little bit of shame, because it's maybe not the best thing for baby to be eating mass quantities of straight Nutella... I'm also trying to get kind of into snacking on apples and carrots, but that effort has been less successful.
  • I just opened my desk drawer and realized I have these salted caramel sandwich cookies from CVS that I stashed in there so I wouldn't have to share. Oh, this is going to be a good day!

    Just say no to looking at calorie counts while pregnant!
  • I placed an office supply order yesterday with Quill that just got delivered, I forgot that I'd put in a coupon code for some free popcorn. They're 3 tiny bags (s'mores, cheddar, and caramel) and I will be hiding them for me to eat since I refuse to share with these a$$clowns I work with!

    Me too. I NEVER drank milk before getting KU, but now I am like that adorable little pig, just sucking it down. Me and DH go through 2 1 gallon cartons a week now, LOL!
  • It hasn't hit me yet this pregnancy, but last time, I would eat a bowl of cereal every morning at 4am while shopping for maternity clothes and baby items!

  • Glad to see I'm not alone on the milk bandwagon! I go through 4L in less than a week, part of it because of how many bowls of Cheerios I've had lately. However, my breakfasts for the past week or so has been raisin bread...baby just seems to love it (there was lots of kicking right after I finished my first two toasts as a snack the night I bought the bread...in a mega pack of two at Costco). I also have a thing for cheesetrings. And I've gone through 3/4 bag of chips without realizing, but I've been better lately.

    @yogahh : you could also probably order it online from amazon.ca (my husband is the account manager who recently made the launch for these chocolates on amazon Canada...yes, this also means I could get just about as much as I want, but alas, I'm not craving chocolate and actually was quite repulsed by the idea of chocolate in my first tri). With the current exchange rate, it'll cost you peanuts ;)
