    @twentythree19 cereal in general for me has been a weakness lately! I have always loved cereal but hardly let myself have it because I could eat 4 bowls in one sitting haha. I now eat a bowl every day and I don't even care what it is - frosted mini wheats like you, cheerios, cocoa puffs, life. Give me ALL the cereal.

    @jellie603 Same!!! I seriously have to make myself wait 15 minutes before getting another bowl so that I'll feel full and not overeat.

    @twentythree19 now that I can have gluten I've bought a box or two of frosted mini wheats (they have a new flavor that's cinnamon roll that I'm stoked to try out :yum:).

    Super TMI, do NOT eat frosted mini wheats if you're having stomach issues. That may be the worst thing I've ever vomited. Gross.

    CAdbury mini eggs - one of my favorite candies. i usually just get a couple single serving bags because ihave little self control and then have stomach aches, but i am already halfway through my second regular sized bag. this is my self-imposed limit though.
    Otherwise i've been very into citrus fruit and generally still up and down with food. No real constant aversions but regularly am like, nothing really sounds good, or i'll make dinner and then can't fathom eating it so i eat fruit instead  Dinner seems to be the worst lately

    YES to all the cereal talk! In the past I only had it occasionally but now there always needs to be a box around. Currently it’s Honey Nut Cheerios, a classic. It’s a very comforting snack. Similar to @runnergirl2018 I’m eating lots of fruit. Sometimes it’s probably cause I’m dehydrated, but it’s also just so refreshing!

    I wish I had cereal cravings. I’m craving the most ridiculous things, like King crab legs and shrimp cocktails and my husband is like OKKK LET ME GO PUT ON MY TUXEDO AND PULL AROUND THE ROLLS ROYCE SO YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS AND SHRIMP COCKTAILS FOR A SNACK. 

    haha. I haven’t given in to those cravings because I really thought I wanted salmon all week, so I bought an expensive filet of salmon and cooked it yesterday (it turned out bomb tho) but once it was done I was so grossed out by it I didn’t eat and I gave it to my pets. My husband would kill me if I spent $$$ on crab legs and shrimp cocktails and then didn’t want them once i had them. 

    Worse than a toddler right now.

    @twentythree19 I actually don’t think it’s an unreasonable request. 😂 I mean, I’m growing his child!

    @oli9 lol!! Maybe it’s time for a trip to Red Lobster or a seafood restaurant? I love that cravings can be so random.

    @bearsandbeets7 Ferraro is building a chocolate factory where I live!
     
    Lately for me, tacos! I go between hard and soft shell but has to be a corn tortilla. Otherwise lots of fruit. Also, strawberry yogurt with cheerios on top. I just get the big tub of yogurt and make a little bowl each morning.

    I have definitely been on the cereal band wagon for a while now lol. My go to has been fruit loops for some reason. I’m normally a life or honey nut cheerios person but not right now.

    I was also craving watermelon yesterday so MH turned around and went back to the grocery store (with a toddler in tow) just to get some for me. I thought that was super sweet of him. He never does shit like that lol.

    I just sent my husband to an Indian Restaurant at 8:30pm to get me Tikka Masala and garlic Naan. 🤦‍♀️ The cravings are real.

    I fell victim to a targeted Facebook ad for Nightfood Ice Cream. Bought 2 pints early this week, and they're already gone. Nightfood is marketed as a pregnancy ice cream with lower sugar + tryptophan, plus they reimburse cost for the first 2 pints, so I had to try it. HAD TO. And I thought their Bed & Breakfast (maple ice cream with waffle cone pieces) was delicious. I'll probably grab another pint tomorrow (and try to make it last a week). 🤣
