The Baby Made Me Eat It!! « Back to Group Discussions

[SparkleMaman]

So, I know we're all still early in the game here but I wondered if anyone is having any intense food cravings? Sudden food cravings? Or other new/different things you're noticing about food.

I don't eat out much, we eat a mostly plant based whole food vegetarian diet. Yesterday, I could NOT control myself and stopped at a pizza place for a slice of pizza for lunch. OMG, it was AMAZING! So cheesy and yummy good. It wasn't greasy but definitely not like my homemade pizza. Other than that, my sense of smell has been intensely sensitive, so anything strongly smelling sort of turns me off. And I cannot get enough veggie juice, weird, I know!

A pop tart.

Seriously, why these are even in the house I don't know.

It was so good though (in a disgusting, can't believe I am eating this and enjoying it kind of way).

This isn't a major transgression at all, but after DH expressed an interest in my super-healthy dinner (GABA brown rice with scallions, steamed veg, and homemade salsa) I gave the last half of it to him and went and had a bowl of puffed rice instead. I did verify that I got all my vitamins for the day including more than 600 mcg of folate (I don't take a multivitamin), though. Healthy veggies just aren't as appealing today!

Ugh, I forgot that I have about a 1.5 second window in between the feeling of intense hunger and the feeling of "ugh."  I hate when you know eating is the one thing that will make you feel better but you can't stomach the idea.  I have to set my alarm to eat every 2 hours.  It's going to be a long 5-14 weeks here, I am afraid!  Anyone else?

I usually crave sweets so badly, but they sound just gross to me now.  All I want is cheesy/savory/bready.

All I want to eat is garlic! I have been making garlic bread everyday for the past 3 days.

No strong food cravings for me but the nausea has started so food aversions are occurring. My husband is currently taking paint off of something with acetone TWO ROOMS AWAY and I made him stop. BLEH! 

[tremieli]

I was nauseous for about 10 minutes this morning, and otherwise I've been feeling great.  Dying for cheese. Yesterday I was so hungry all day, and today I have no appetite but still feel good.  Still hoping to avoid the worst of morning sickness!

I'm still loving my Knudsen's Organic Veggie Juice. Oh my, can't seem to get enough!! Ladensmommy I've also been on a garlic binge, had baby kale with loads of garlic last night, oh so good! I've continued with waves of nausea off and on - though more intense yesterday and today. Sounds about right as I recall Morning Sickness with my DD lasting from exactly 5 weeks through about 7 and I'll be 5 weeks along tomorrow. Nothing too horrible with my DD, just a constant queasy feeling I couldn't shake. Saltines and hard candies helped. I'm thinking of making veggie burritos tonight but debating if they'll be appealing after I make them. Hmmmm. . . Pasta might be safer.

I love food talk. :-) I just suddenly had a craving for a burger with LOTS of pickles. This was a recurring craving with DS2 so I'm not surprised, but I did just eat dinner so I wasn't expecting it. Lol

[sunkistmoth]

I usually eat really healthy, but yesterday I had an intense craving for redvines licorice! (My dh went out and bought me some lol). Other than that, I feel hungry but also nauseous most of the time.

DH just came home with ten packets of rice cakes with dark chocolate on them for me. The lady at the shop thought he was crazy! I've lost two pounds since getting my BFP so have been trying to eat what I can, so I had two packets of these rice cakes and I still feel sick. I suppose I should have just forced down some brown rice and veg, but I would have had to get out of my comfy chair to make it...

bagels! bagels! bagels! i had a bagel for dinner tonight and it was amazing. normally i have like 1 bagel a month.

so funny. i also don't have the sweets cravings that i normally do.

ii had a major craving for dumplings last week and i make green smoothies that i am just gulping down! :)

[jjh5351]

I had to have pizza tonight... And rice... Lol!

[sunkistmoth]

jmc78--That's funny--recently I've been craving blueberry bagels with pineapple cream cheese...something I used to eat all the time when I was a kid but haven't thought of in ages lol. 

[ultrafighter]

tourist, all I've wanted the past couple of weeks is cheeseburgers...  I've only had 3 so I think I'm doing okay.  I had the most amazing Mediterranean salad today so I feel even better about those burgers. 

[jjh5351]

All day today I was craving this chicken salad from a deli in town... So I got it... So. Good.

[tourist.]

Lol I think I've had three burgers as well. Totally out of the norm for me! Yesterday we went on a wild goose chase because I suddenly had a craving for deep fried cheesecake bites that I think I'd had once before probably over a year ago. Sadly I couldn't find them and I'm still craving them so I'll probably be attempting my own at home soon. I hope they turn out. :-)

[jjh5351]

I don't know if you guys have sonic there but they have them seasonally! And tgifridays has them too I think lol I am not a dessert eater but I always look at the menu

[tourist.]

Yea, I think the one time in my life that I've had them it was at Sonic. I think they just had them, but now are on to something else. :-( It was weird though, how I was suddenly struck with an intense need for deep fried cheesecake. Sooooo strange, cause like I said - I've only ever had it once before and that was ages ago. :-)

[jjh5351]

Haha that's so funny. I shouldn't have mentioned sonic because we don't have one here (too far north) and I miss chili cheese tots sooo much.
