    I'm also addicted to Lucky Charms too. I don't usually like cereal...especially sweet. But now....

  • I'm totally on the cereal boat too! Unfortunately cereal is like $8 a (regular) sized box here but I don't even care. Last week was coco krispies and this week i'm all about frosted flakes.

  • Yesterday was the worst. I didn't want any food. Today, all I want is cheesey things. 

    I stopped at Food Lion on the way to work this morning to get Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

  • I've been on a major acidity kick lately! I called an old family friend yesterday just for her Lemon Cake Recipe, and had DH pick up four extra lemons just for me to eat. I swear he started gagging this morning when he saw me eating grapefruit, lemon slices, lemon cake, pickles, and orange juice for breakfast. Unlike a lot of replies on here I want NOTHING to do with cheese.

    kmolleltz:  Cereal is usually 10.00 or more a small box here but I found a sale price that let me get a bulk bag size lucky charms for 7.50. Score!!

    No cravings. Just aversions. Lost my sweet tooth and my desire to eat mushrooms. I just don't feel like eating.

    kmolleltz : I have never made english muffins from scratch. If you do, let me know how it goes. Maybe share the recipe...

  • For the past week,I've HAD to have a bagel with tons and tons and tons of cream cheese for a second (yes second) breakfast. It's weird but I feel terrible in the mornings until about 9 am when I have that bagel and then I start feeling better. But there is no way I can eat it before that time, ha.

    @mpunger I must have lemon cake now!! I'm contemplating options of where I may can find some on my lunch break here in a bit! I also have been eating lemon slices & brought a grapefruit for a snack later. And orange juice...I typically don't drink it but we went out of town this weekend & every time we stopped at a gas station I had to have orange juice. So weird!
  • Oh but I still need my cheese too! Haha

  • Just ordered a hot dog with bacon from sonic. It is delicious 
  • I'm right there with all you cheese cravers, but in addition I've been craving for a baked potato with cheese and bacon bits and little green onion  things on top. Oh and sour cream. <3<3

  • holy crap I just had a QUESALUPA from Taco Bell. this is the most amazing thing ever 
  • I'm feeling so down on myself right now. I'm trying to be healthy for my LO and I don't want to gain more weight than is healthy but literally nothing sounds good to me except for chik-fil-a and fruit. I guess it's good that I'm getting fruit in but lord knows I don't need fried nuggets and waffle fries. I'm just hoping this passes soon so I can get back on track.

    @MRSCORKER I'm right there with you! Chick-fil-a nuggets and all things fruit related are high on my list of wants right now too! But it's good that we're at least getting fruit in too - it could be all bad!  I've been sustaining on pizza & cheese enchiladas for dinner for the last week. I never eat like this & I feel so guilty! Especially since I haven't been working out regularly since my BFP. All day, I think that I'm going to eat healthy at dinner...and then dinnertime comes & it's like something takes over my brain & I don't care about anything except what I want in that exact moment, which is apparently seems to be anything covered in cheese.
  • So for the past 2 days all I want is cereal.... I can eat it every meal!! And I'm getting my cheeseburger fix tonight! Burgers on the grill since its beautiful here in CT!

    Feeling a little better today. They opened a Nalley Fresh right by my office so I got in lots of veggies and protein for lunch. We'll see how the rest of the day goes. lol

  • @mrscorker Good luck! I've done really well so far today as well....but the day is still young! Haha
  • I've mostly been craving things I can't have because they're forbidden fruit I guess.

    Today it's sushi, I want that dangerous uncooked fish so much right now. 

    Last weekend we had brunch and I rarely order alcohol at brunch but I almost ordered a mimosa as a caffiene free alternative to coffee.

    I know you can have a little coffee, and a mimosa probably would be the end of the world anyway, but I normally wouldn't even want these things, you just tell me I shouldn't and I can't get them out of my mind.

  • For a couple weeks all I wanted was fruit and cereal (was eating Kix, but all of this talk about Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Capn' Crunch is making me change my mind), but a couple of days ago I got the biggest craving for chicken strips.  This was weird because I had not wanted any meat for awhile.  When DH and I went out that evening, I was so excited that I found some chicken strips on the menu, until he suggested that we share them.  I nearly cried because I didn't want to say no, but I wanted ALL the chicken strips.  Luckily he caught the drift and ordered something else for himself.  Crisis averted!

  • I cannot stop eating and I crave pretty much anything anyone mentions.  At Starbucks today my coworker mentioned he tried the new rotisserie chicken sandwich at Subway.  I haven't had Subway in years.  Yet, not even two hours later (and not remotely at a regular meal time), I am currently chowing down on a rotisserie chicken sandwich from Subway.
  • I took DD to Costco and the giant picture of the all beef hotdog got me. It was so good while I was eating it, then so bad after I finished. I still regret that hotdog ugh.

  • @SuperNerd42 , OMG Costco hotdogs are the best.  Now I want one.... but I want the Polish Dogs.  I used to say that if I ever went homeless, I'd live off Costco hotdogs + pizza.  So cheap!  
  • Cream cheese! We're out of bagels so the other day I had like 4 pieces of toast with cream cheese... which was the last of the toast. So then I said fuck it and had cream cheese on a pita. That was not as satisfying. 

    Although all this cereal talk is making me want some lucky charms, which I haven't had since I was like 7.

    I had to have a loaded baked potato with just butter last weekend from Texas Roadhouse. They're the best because the skin is salty. Yum! Might need another ;) 
  • this week? those shrooms from houlihans with that amazing horseradish dipping sauce. whoever can get me the recipe for that sauce is my hero

    @ashleyp625 I made it my mission this week to get one of those potatoes from Texas Roadhouse - ever since I read your post I couldn't get it out of my mind. So good! 

    My weird craving this week... Prunes!? I starting eating them a few weeks ago because I was desperate to poo...and discovered I really liked them. I just bought a big bag to snack on. I feel like my Grandma!
  • @CaptainPhasma I'm right there with you on the forbidden fruit. I especially want all the super fresh raw sushi...and deli ham, soft-serve ice cream, etc. The only frowned-upon things I don't really want are soft cheese, cigarettes, and alcohol. 

    @Kaessi yes prunes are soo good, to poop or just to have a fruit candy snack!
  • Not weird. But I've had Jimmy Johns 3 times this week. I got tuna the first time. Then I caved and got turkey the next two times. I swore I wouldn't go overboard with the lunch meat but nothing else sounded good. I crave smoothies too. Nothing strange this pregnancy tho.

  • Beets. 

    I mean, I like beets and all, but it's weird because my brain is all, "BEETS NOW PLZ"

  • Cravings have been pretty healthy green grapes, oranges, watermelon, steaks, and cereal (Cinnamon Life and Rasin Bran). Problem is I want a lot which I have to get under control before my weight gain gets out of hand

    So good! I had another one last night :)
  • @ashleyp625 tell me about the potatoes. I went to a kids bday party catered by Texas Roadhouse on Saturday. my friend was cracking up bc he knows I'm pregnant and dying for BBQ lol
  • Not necessarily weird, but there is this amazing ramen shop near us that I have been wanting to go to for weeks now but I've been avoiding it because the best part of the ramen is the soft boiled egg they include in the soup. It's so delicious and I want that egg so badly but am afraid to give in. Has anyone else given in on the soft cooked eggs? I'll feel better doing it if someone else has

  • Today at work I thought I smelled zucchini walnut bread (then I overheard people saying they smelled fried chicken...wtf?) and decided immediately that I need to make it asap for the first time in years....and I really want meatloaf too for some reason.

    natsfan2442, go for the soft-cooked egg. Salmonella is no more dangerous to you when you're pregnant than when you're not.

    I haven't been in the mood for runny eggs, but raw cookie dough is a different story. Mostly, though, I need:
    1. Fast food, particularly any kind of breaded chicken product
    2. Lemonade
    3. Black cherry fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt
