Confession Thread

[sarah_bella1050]

I just need to confess.  Super healthy kombucha and sprout eating me, just ate a corndog and cookies for lunch

[ablepearl]

Ah well, the hotdog was cooked, right?  Raw sprouts should be avoided too, since they can harbor bacteria!  The corndog was 'safer' ;)

I was eating pretty bad last wekk, so I am getting myself back into my normal eating habits again!

I cut down from 3+ cups of coffee per day to one, and should probably cut out that one, but I just can't do it. I need my coffee! That's my confession.

I uh... haven't changed my eating habits at all?  I haven't for any of my PGs... even though I probably should!

[Kaitlyn811]

Ugh, my confession? Most fruits, veggies, and dairy products are total yuck to me. Before I got pregnant I was dieting and working out for 2 hrs a day and doing sooo well. And now..baby hit and morning sickness causes me to not be hungry til about 10:30 am and when hunger hits I want cereals, carbs..everything bad it seems ): It's depressing me. and (I'm sure everyone will understand)..guys are always pretty open about bodily functions..I am NOT, females usually aren't. But I've been warning the father to stay away. It's embarrassing! Gas, constipation, bloating...I feel like a walking blimp. Not to mention my BOOBS! They HURT!! Ok. Rant over. Sorry!

First, I was like "wait? sprouts are eating her?? WTF"......preggo brain already? 

Anyway, you're in good company. I *had* to have spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips the other day....you know, the one with cream cheese, sour cream AND mayo.....(ewww, that sounds really disgusting right now). I sent DH with the list because I can't food shop. Everything looks so gross, I get really nauseous and I end up buying frozen or pre-made food....which I *never* do. I bought Annie's pizza bites for me---like 4 boxes and all kinds of frozen stuff to feed the kids because I can't cook without getting sick either. A corn-dog sounds kinda good though!

I had two krispy kreme glazed donuts right before bed last night. I heated them in the oven til they got a little crispy on the outside. (just describing it made my mouth just fill up with saliva) I was in heaven. And I normal despise all bakery goods and sweets. A little indulgence wont do any harm. ;)

There is a box of fudgesicles in my freezer  But in my defense I am getting over pneumonia and they were for my sore throat and sweet tooth!

[ablepearl]

Well, I did really well all day yesterday until a bowl of oce cream magically appeared in my hand after dinner!  I was good for dinner though, steak, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and a slice of bacon...nom!

damn, that sounds so good!

Serious preggo brain over here. I write and edit for a living and I can barely focus on a sentence. I drink a hot chocolate with skim milk and whipped cream! every day in place of my coffee. I miss coffee so much. And my breast hurt and I my pants are already uncomfortable when I am sitting at my desk. And the I have the dreaded "H" already. I can't even write it. I'm craving corn dogs now. 

[danamichele]

(Oh man!  I did editing my last pregnancy and it was tough!  I think I actually fell asleep trying to rewrite a paper written by a non-native English speaker/writer.)

I normally make nearly all of my food from whole ingredients.  My staples now?  Top Ramen, white-flour bagels, Cheerios.   I even ate a whole, cheap frozen pizza for dinner the other day and it was GOOD!  Yes, that which would normally upset my stomach made me feel so much better.  Go figure.  Yesterday I had boxed macaroni and cheese with (cooked, nitrate-free) hot dog slices-- and peas to make it a little healthier. 

I'm looking forward for this stage to be over.  I want to have a little more energy to enjoy the weather and playing with my daughter, and to focus on eating healthier food again!

Tonight we're having salmon for dinner though.  And maybe some popcorn as my side.  So that's a little better.  ;)

I'm in grad school, two weeks away from the beginning of final exam month (4 finals in 3 weeks, oh joy) and all I want to do is sleep. I sit in a catatonic state through most of my classes, get home, eat and fall asleep. How am I going to study when all I want to do is sleep?

What's the dreaded "H", by the way? Just wondering if there's something else to look forward to...

[Mommyofalmost6]

I had a glass of coke and a bowl of frosted flakes for breakfast this morning *sigh* however I dont feel quite so full and bloated and uncomfy like normal so it works for me.

Hemorrhoids?

I've been eating out a ton.  The idea of preparing food... Yuk.  I seriously just gagged thinking about it.    I've also been craving McDonald's cheeseburgers.  I'm normally not a fast food kind of gal, but McD's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut...  They're all calling me!

[Mommyofalmost6]

I am in love with food that takes little to no prep right now. I just cant look at food. Makes me ill thinking of it!

[thorn]

hotdogs (regular ones.  ball park beef franks!) are a protein staple for me right now.  toss in a whole wheat bun, wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 40 seconds... you just can't beat protein in under a minute. plus individual microwave servings of veggies.  i have also been eating more than my share of fast food and boxed macaroni products.  but overall I am pleased because I am still sort-of cooking, and one of my favorite fast food meals right now is a chicken strip salad from chick fil a - I figure any salad is better than no salad!

In the past week, I've had McDonald's for breakfast, massive cravings for steak fries swimming in ranch dressing, canned condensed chicken soup, and yesterday I ate a HUGE bowl of baby carrots and raw broccoli dipped in bleu cheese dressing.

I told DF that I wanted to go to our local minor league team's baseball game soon so I could have a hot dog smothered in mustard and onions and a big huge pretzel.  And the other night, I begged him to run to the grocery store at 11pm to get me those nasty prepackaged, full of preservatives brownies with the chunks of M&Ms on top. 

A friend of mine said the baby is eating all of my hippie-ness.  ;)
