I pretty much just hate food in general right now.

I get an idea in my head that I really really want something and if I am lucky enough to get it by the time I do I can't eat it anyways. EVERYTHING sounds nasty! Especially anything processed, too sweet, or greasy.

Things that have been DELICIOUS to me recently:

Grilled Cheese
Buttery Noodles (yes good old white noodles, not whole wheat)
Baked Ziti
Pizza
White beans and ground turkey with a little bit of ketchup
Frozen broc with some melted american cheese
and... toast, eggs, cheese, repeat...
also V8 has been AWESOME

Actually... we roasted a bunch of veggies and they were dynamite - I've really enjoyed roasted asparagus, brussels sprouts, even cauliflower and of course sweet potatoes and squash were yummy

I've definitely lost weight on the morning sickness diet... this past week has been better though, so I'm hoping when I jump on the scale on wednesday (aka - the wii fit. I don't have a real scale) it will show that, for the first time since getting that positive, I haven't lost any weight. I've also dropped a little over 3 lbs.

I am "up" to 8 lbs lost! Sheesh! this has got to turn around soon....
Thank GOD, i am not nearly as sick as last week (i read somewhere around week 9 the hgh (??not sure which) hormone or one of them is at it's peak and therefore sickness may be at its worst.) that was definitely me last week. I am feeling like 90% better than last week. Eating is still a challenge but no more vomiting or the feel of vomiting at the thought of ANY kind of food except a specific couple. yucko. Getting enough protein is tough. Give me calories!

I CANNOT eat chicken In any form. Grilled chicken, chicken burritos, chicken enchiladas, nothing! It sucks

I had morning sickness for three weeks and could eat almost nothing that I'd normally eat. I have PCOS, so I usually do really low GI foods which means very few carbs and low sugars. Sadly, that's all I could keep down. I called it beige food. Noodles with olive oil, breads, crackers, rice. It was fun to eat a bagel again, but I'm glad that's over with for now. I couldn't stand the smell of pretty much everything except my husbands head.

My general cravings have been: bananas, cheeses, egg salad sandwiches, crispy chicken skin (had rotisserie chicken 4 days in a row at one point), pickles, pizza, Kraft dinner (mac 'n cheese to the Americans) which I hadn't eaten in three years because I'm a no junk food type of girl due to all my food related medical issues, & coconut water.

Now that I can fully eat again life is good. Food is one of my hobbies, so it sucked not being able to cook for fear of hurling all over the kitchen.
