Unhealthy Mama Check in!

Lurking on other boards and thought this might be a fun one to add. Hope that's ok! 

I'm all about trying to stay fit, but these food aversions are real. And my love for cheese has only gotten worse!

  • Superbowl leftovers will be the end of me. Taco cups, 7 layer dip, pizza bread. That has been dinner for two nights now.

  • Made DH go to Walmart when he got off work last night because the baby needed some mini M&Ms and I've proceeded to eat half the bag. Also left over Mac and cheese for lunch today!
  • My love for breakfast food is pretty intense.  
  • I have had mad cravings for french fries and pizza. DH says we cannot have those every night or our entire family will be gaining weight lol.
  • I'm so sick I can't even drink water. I eat and drink anything I feel like I can keep down. No shame. I'll worry about being healthy once I quit puking all the time lol

    Yup. Last night's dinner was the 2nd box of pigs in a blanket (used the 1st for the SB). That's it. The only reason I didn't eat more than that is because I already had several handfuls of potato chips when I got home from work.

    I've been trying so hard to eat healthier breakfasts/lunches because I know by the time to get to dinner it's going to be a disaster.  Somehow I doubt my weekly prenatal yoga will make up for all of the crap I'm eating!

  • Love this. Dinner last night consisted of two bowls of generic brand honey nut Cheerios. And I don't even like Cheerios. But that's what sounded appetizing!

  • Yes! I ♡ this thread! I ate a salad the other day for the first time since getting pregnant. Last night it was a bbq sandwich with coleslaw, potato salad, seasoned fries, and thin mints. I eat chips and drink all sorts of juice like they're going to be taken off of the shelves. Cheeseburgers, chicken pad thai, ranch pringles, etc have been my go-to...oops!
  • At work the other night I ate half a Pringle can of salt and vinegar chips. I had no regrets. That's the biggest meal I've had in over a month. 
  • So I'm craving the best of both worlds. I want broccoli with lemon and parm on top. And when I am being bad it's like pizza or burger and fries. And it literally is hot and cold! Last night I had pasta and then ice cream afterwards soooo bad!!! And so good!

    Pasta and cereal and anything sweet are the main cravings. I went through a chocolate milk phase for a few weeks. Now it's any kind of cereal that's bad for you, I've been killing some lucky charms!

  • Today was Fat Tuesday - I fully took advantage...lots of King Cake and chips/dip.

  • Cereal. So much cereal. And also pizza and sweet potato fries. Sweet potatoes are supposedly a pregnancy superfood, so that's how I justify the deep fried version.

  • My appetite has been so up and down (mostly down) that I eat whatever sounds good. Sometimes it's fruits & veggies, others it's crap. Yesterday, all I was able to eat the whole day was 1 toaster strudel and 3 girl scout cookies. It's getting ridiculous, I miss eating like a normal person. 
  • @texasmama2014 I've never had chicken tetrazzini but it makes me immediately think of that Maury clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU2W-C8Mo30

    If only there was a good gif!

  • I just got home from work, and as I usually do, I went to the fridge and started stuffing my face with whatever I could get my hands on. This time it was some leftover pasta with marinara (at least it was whole wheat pasta?). I'm pretty sure what I ate constitutes a full serving. But for this pregnant lady that was just a little appetizer before dinner. 
  • Lol I love this. Aside  all the carbs that exist,  my weirdest thing is constantly wanting plain noodles... and cheetos and cantaloupe. 
  • @ramoseecology yes! That's all I think of too!!

    And what is with Cheerios and pregnancy?! I had 2 giant bowls for dinner tonight and did the same thing 2 nights last week. I've always liked them, but this is getting out of control!



  • @Pepper6 I can totally relate! Some days I'm starving and some days I want nothing to do with food. I couldn't even enjoy super bowl snacks because I drank too much water and juice and my stomach was full. 
    The Girl Scout cookies sound like a good choice though!
  • Eating healthy gives me reflux. Eating Chinese food gives me reflux. Eating sugar gives me reflux. 

    But seriously, today I had peeps, a heath bar, and a bagel for lunch. I felt a little acidic, but not awful. Dinner I had chicken veggie soup and blueberries and now I feel awful. My breakfast has been a flour tortilla topped with margerine and Ovaltine. 

    Sooo much chocolate milk and milkshakes!
  • While I am still doing yoga my eating has been horrible. All I want is carbs... Mac and cheese, pizza, cereal, cheese, bread... I almost hurt SO when he attempted to take my doughnut the other day.

  • My cravings are coming in weekly waves of fast-food naughtiness. At week 13 it was Arby's roast beef sandwiches; week 14 was Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich; this week my cravings elevated to greek chicken kabobs and tzatziki sauce. 
  • Chipotle.. and I am not talking the salads or lets omit this to make it healthier. I want everything all piled up in my giant burrito bowl and eat the whole thing. I went last week, and DH is trying hard to talk me out of it this week.

  • Cravings are intense. If I don't eat what baby is craving my stomach hurts and I feel sick. So last night baby had a Cali roll for an appetizer (thanks sushi thread) then a homemade cheeseburger and fries for dinner. Baby was happy and mommy felt great.
