I snacked on leftover imitation crab while I made dinner, picked at the ingredients throughout prep, ate dinner (turkey bacon cheeseburger skillet with 2 pieces wheat butter bread). And now I want a snack. Or ice cream. Might have DH stop and get something
Is anyone else having the, I can't eats? I'm always so full feeling and out of breath, the thought of having to eat is just ughh. 22+4 and don't even want to know what its going to be like for third!
I don't even look twice at any junk food or carby foods because I know I need the little space I have have for nutritious proteiny food.
Dh has polished off a pie and a half since Sunday, I had a teaspoon of one yesterday and was like, nope, can't do it. I am normally such a sweet junkie. End whine fest.
@cass06_07 I'm also 22w4d and eating is a chore already. I either eat too much and then suffer for it because of reflux or I don't eat enough and I'm hungry an hour later. It's hard too because very few things are appealing to me this pregnancy. I spend more time debating what to eat than I actually do eating! The 3rd tri is going to be miserable.
I, too, pick on everything while I cook and/or totally eat other snacks lol. Tonight I ate some of DS pasta with butter and cheese while I made pork chops w/ sauerkraut, Swiss chard, and fried potatoes. Delicious but filling and I could’ve stopped at the pasta probably haha
@bellebaby221 im havig issues with food being appealing too... good to know im not alone! I always thought when i got pregnant id eat everything in sight.. boy was I wrong!
For me it seems to be every other day of being a bottomless pit and not having room for anything. Yesterday I had a huge lunch, and when I made dinner I made sure to make enough for both dinner yesterday and also have leftovers for lunch today. Well, I ate it all in one sitting. Today I barely ate at work, and I could only stomach one third of my already small dinner plate. So weird.

@grebretso, i hear you! I worked on eating my breakfast this morning from 830 and finally finished at 11am.. it was just steelcut oats with banana maple syrup and cinnamon! Dinner tonight i wasnt hungry but knew i had to eat.. after the first chicken nugget sized veggie riblet i was gasping for air
Same with the tiny stomach issue but constantly hungry issue. I can take like 3 bites of food then I'm disgustingly full (like post-Thanksgiving full), then 20 minutes later I'm starving. So I basically just snack all day.
I eat a glazed donut with my coffee every morning...every day I say "Ok tomorrow I don't NEED that donut so I'm going to skip it" but I get it anyway lol
@danixbanani24 Chipotle here too. I surprised myself with how much of the bowl I actually ate. I haven't been able to get much in these days without feeling overly stuffed.
Oh, I can eat! I am definitely most hungry in the mornings, by dinner I care very little about food but possibly because that involves effort on my part.
I can definitely eat, but I'm afraid of triggering my heartburn, so I try not to eat too much So I try to be excited as I shoot for 5-6 smaller meals lol. Heartburn comes and goes for me. Sometimes the heartburn is INSANE and sometimes it's non-existent.
I should definitely visit the Bake Sale right down the hall from my office, right? I mean ... only to support the Parents' Association. Definitely not to fill my stomach with cookies and cupcakes. Gotta support that PA

@BourbonBiscuits DS school has a chocolate candy fundraiser - we pay for the box upfront, get it home, and sell it. You know the box is still sitting in my closet right? LOL
Boss brought the biggest box of ferrero rocher I’ve seen in my life. They’re for the whole office but I’ve eaten most of them and I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten around half already. Send help, I have no control.

I’ve been craving DQ in the worst way, we don’t have one close by unfortunately
That's tragic. We have one that opened a few moths back that's about 20 mins away. We went last weekend and I had plans of going this weekend (drive thru Bizzards? Yes please!) but the weekend was jam packed.
@BourbonBiscuits I think people who say pregnancy makes you want to eat like a child are completely right. Cheese pizza is a good one! Personally I just want to put ketchup on everything. So gross.

@grebretso it’s so true. I’d rather eat nuggets and fries and pizza because healthy stuff is questionable at best right now. I am determined to try tho. This morning I made berry oatmeal and for lunch I’m having a chicken sandwich (with chips I have stashed in my drawer at work lol). I’m also attempting to not buy lunch every day bc it’s expensive in the city and I want to save money for baby things plus Xmas shopping!
I'd been craving Panera forever and finally went and got it for lunch today. Broccoli and cheese soup, half caesar salad and an oatmeal raisin cookie. It was PERFECT.
