What My Pregnant Self is Eating - 11/02

Am I the only one who is EXTREMELY susceptible to the power of suggestion right now when it comes to food?  Let’s see, so thanks to AHS I have already made DH get cheese puffs while he was out and tonight we will be having Manwich’s for dinner (umm I don’t think I have EVER made a sloppy joe in my ENTIRE life, but yeah...).  I seriously see something on TV or hear someone mention something and suddenly I HAVE.TO.HAVE.IT!  Ridiculous - I am an advertiser’s dream.  

Re: What My Pregnant Self is Eating - 11/02

  • @Miz_Liz - the power of suggestion is real, and it's evil.
    Also sloppy joe is delish, but make sure you have fries with it so you can cover them in the leftovers that fall out of your sandwiches!!

    And now I want poutine.

  • @izza2 crap, now I need to go buy fries before tonight!!!  The more I keep thinking about them the more sloppy joes for lunch sound better and better.  
  • @Miz_Liz the power of suggestion is real! Yesterday at lunch I smelled BBQ, but we are trying to save money so I ate my leftovers. But guess what's in the crockpot right now...BBQ chicken. 

    Last night for dinner we had hot dogs, pasta salad and pickles. Yes I realize it is November and not July and no I do not care.

  • Sloppy Joes sound good! 
    I am basically eating whatever I can stomach which is scrambled eggs and toast.

  • My DH is on his way right now bringing breakfast to me and the boy. He’s very sweet and I’m probably going to enjoy my breakfast but this sloppy joe’s and fries talk is making me crave chili cheese fries.

  • Anything in sight. But now I want fries :# 

    and @krashke that meal sounds AMAZING right now. 

    lots of granola bars and nuts and chocolate every few hours go keep the nausea down. 

    What i I really need to think about is what to drink... water does NOT sound appetizing at all. But I’m thirsty...

  • @Miz_Liz this is the only way I am able to eat anything lately.. someone else has to be talking about it/eating it.. and then suddenly that's allll I want! So weird 
  • @fantasticmrsfox We have crystal light packets at work and I have started using the peach tea in my water. I don't usually like to use them because of the ingredients but I can't stand plain water right now so something is better than nothing IMO. I also mix it much more diluted that they say...half a packet in 32oz of water

  • Noodles. Bread. Essentially, all the carbs. It's making by 12 year old a very happy boy, so that's a win. 

    Also, now I need to add sloppy Joes to my meal plan. And chili cheese fries. Hahaha 

    @fantasticmrsfox my water has to be ICE COLD. I have never had temperature play such a huge role in my water intake, but I swear it makes a difference!
  • All of the Froot Loops in the world. All of them.

    I have a green smoothie in the morning that MH makes (although it takes me about 3 hours to drink it), nothing has sounded good for lunch, although I had a little chipotle yesterday that was pretty good, and then I have a nut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner and an apple.  I eat plain salted triscuits in between all that.  One day I will gain back this weight that I've lost.


    Edit - oh, and I second the ice cold water thing.  I used to hate ice cold water.  Room temperature was the only way I'd drink it.  But now it doesn't appeal unless it's cold.

  • My brother brought home crackers and the canned spray cheese stuff (super cheap and bad for you).
    I just ate one. And I didn't realize they were garlic crackers. Ick. What is wrong with him? :worried:

  • This morning I found out that if I put milk/cream in my coffee.. I can actually tolerate it! I usually drank it black. I really miss enjoying coffee 
  • @bkrahn ugh, I'm with you on the coffee thing. I miss my coffee...and it's the only thing I really can't stomach  :/

    I am also eating all.the.cereal. Specifically Trader Joe's pumpkin cheerios (so much better than the real pumpkin cheerios, fyi). I just browsed through the thanksgiving thread and now I want turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes! Mmmm.
  • I want all the food! I feel like I’m never full though. Now I need tacos and chili fries.
  • All I can think about is grilled cheese sandwiches on the waterfront sour dough bread.  I sprinkle garlic powder in the butter in the pan then crisp up my grilled cheese.   My mouth is watering.   I'm going to make one tonight. DH can't stop me! 
  • Aaaaand I’m back to being hungry and not having any idea what I want, so annoying. DH asks me what I want for dinner and I just stare back with no answer. Thumbs down.

  • This thread is just making me so hungry!

    I've been blessed - knock on wood - this pregnancy. I've had my odd bouts of nausea, but haven't had any real morning (all day) sickness yet. With my first pregnancy I was sooooo sick for months. So in leu of sickness, I can't stop eating. My appetite is through the roof and I am becoming worried! Sort of. Before pregnancy, I had not a strict, but quite healthy diet. NOW tho... omg I just had 3 pizza pops for lunch, that I HAD to have. I haven't ate a pizza pop in 5 years. what the heck! I need to turn this binge crap food eating around or ill be 500 lbs in no time.

    rant over  :p

  • @mommaeb what is a pizza pop?!  This sounds amazing!
  • I went to brunch and had a bacon/spinach/cheddar omelet, a mountain of crispy potatoes, stuffed apple french toast, and one precious cup of diner coffee loaded with cream. It was glorious. But also I can hardly move.

  • @mommaeb I have never seen those!  Are they frozen?
  • Hubby drove and got me yummy "Chinese" food. Egg roll bourbon chicken and fried rice yum!!
  • @mommaeb I know the feeling... I've been eating everything that has been off limits in the past. I was on program with ww over a year, down 65lbs counting points, avoiding sugars (mainly consumed fake sugars), and tons (like 100g/ day) of protein.  Well, all that flew out the window. Due to MS that could only be curbed with eating carbs, Ive been packing on the pounds. I don't want to drink/eat artificial sugars so I've been having the real deal, meats and proteins are repulsive now. Hoping I can reign it in soon! Some of my fears were weight gain with pregnancy(i was 20lbs to goal!!), my doc says I can remain on ww as its very healthy but I'm not ready to count points and put down the carbs helping me survive. The other nurses and doctors said to give my body what it needs and listen to it, that it'll work out. I'm trusting the process and trying to survive 1st trimester best I can!
