I have been drinking the sparkling water too. It keeps me away from the soda. I crave diet soda of all things and I definitely don't want to drink that. And all the unhealthy stuff I have been eating, I just keep telling myself I'll feel better one day and then I can worry about eating well.

I feel so guilty for eating so badly at the moment. I know it's bad for both me and the baby, but it's so hard to resist. I do wonder if the bad food is making me feel worse in the long run, but it's so hard staying healthy when I feel ill and have all these unhealthy cravings.
 

Don't feel guilty! Just do your best and carry on; soon enough, you'll feel better and get back to healthy eating. I'm shooting for 80% good, 20% not so good.  Last night's supper was french fries, with an ice cream/hot fudge sauce evening treat (only because my aunt made this awesome hot fudge sauce and practically forced us to take some home and it needed to be used).  Tonight we're having salad, veggie fritatta and roasted potatoes. No ice cream. winky.gif

I agree! For myself, I'm just trying to be mindful that I don't have to obey all cravings, and usually, I'm just plain hungry.  If I stick something healthy in my mouth, the crave usually goes away.  So far, anyhow.

It helps that it's crazy snowy here and the roads are a death trap so I'm stuck home. I can't indulge my cravings if I don't leave the house to go get it. But today has been one of those where nothing sounds good at all. So I just eat to not be sick. And then ended up being sick anyways 😕

My previous pregnancies I craved Indian and Thai, so reading everyone's curry escapades is making me excited. This pregnancy, my cravings have been "dull" foods from my childhood: beef stroganoff, porcupine meatballs, and now that meat/chicken gross me out, things like a veggie Reuben sandwich and Greek yogurt with cinnamon and honey. I wish I could stomach Indian food, or even Chipotle burrito bowls right now! My tongue misses spicy foods, but my tummy doesn't!!!

Good plan, Haurelia. It doesn't help that my MIL is a feeder and hasn't the first clue about healthy food! She got me a battenburg cake yesterday (my favourite) and was the supplier of the coke.

I'm still eating my DF's yummy thai curry which is very healthy, so it's not all bad. One good craving I'm getting is roasts; we're having slow roast pork on Friday, and my Dad's making me roast chicken when I visit on Saturday.

If I stick something super healthy in my mouth right now I'm afraid my body will reject it smile.gif Lately, when it decides it does not like something, as soon as I swallow, my stomach turns sour. No bueno. It does like things like yogurt, soaked oats, and lemon. I suppose those are healthy.

That was me on Friday! I hate cod but love halibut. There is only one fish n chips place in my city that sells halibut, and they only have it on Fridays. We called Friday morning and they said it would be ready by 3pm. We went at 3:30pm, and their halibut was late. We left, ran errands, came back at 5pm so I could have my halibut and chips smile.gif It was AWESOME.

All this talk of curry has made me realize that I NEED it. So me and the fiance are going out to our favourite South Indian place tonight.

I love fish usually, but the baby has put me right off it unless it's raw and in the form of sushi.

I feel a little bad but I haven't taken sushi off the list of foods I can eat and I don't intend to. I require sushi to survive. This just gives me incentive to ONLY eat good sushi (no farmed salmon for me!) from really good sushi places instead. I've agreed to really limit the amount of tuna sashimi I eat but all the non-top predator fishies go in my mouth.

Yeah, I'm the same. I always seem to crave sushi when pregnant.

Same here with sushi! I require it once a week, or every couple of weeks. Though I'm trying to interpret my sushi cravings as just general fish craving and upping my fish intake to at least twice a week.

Last pregnancy I talked to my doctor about the sushi thing and she was fine with me eating it. We don't eat much of it any more because we live on the prairies and the quality of the fish here tends to be poor, but whenever we fly back to the west cost to visit family sushi is usually our second stop (after finding a really good Indian food place!). I remember at 8 weeks pregnant with DS, after my doctor telling me I could have sushi, DH and I went straight out to an all you can eat sushi place and ate as much as we could!

I want SUSHI!!!!!! my son & i eat it at least once a week....

my OBGYN told me not to eat it (due to listeria)...i tried to argue with him and say that the restaurant we go to gets top of the line quality fish

 BUT he still said no angry.gif (yet he said i could have one espresso a day...which i opted not to do)...grrrrrr....i have been craving it for the past week & the veggie maki just does not cut it!

 

now i wonder if i had a midwife, would she subject the same restrictions on me?

 

(living sky i am on the prairies too in edmonton: are you freezing right now? yesterday it was -44 C/ -47.2F with windchill).

These are hilarious! I have had FAR more aversions than cravings. All I can stomach are oranges, frozen yogurt/ice cream, peppermint tea and pancakes!

I keep getting aversions for things I was previously craving, like tomato pasta and mint choc ice cream! I wish my body would just make its mind up instead of jumping between random things all the time.

Me too... I keep wanting to buy a bunch of something that I can stomach, but the next day I can't stand the though of it.
