Massive food craving...  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Not only am I always hungry, but I have a constant fullish feeling and a little indigestion. All I want to eat is poultry. Chicken or Turkey...doesn't matter. I don't want anything else, just poultry. And water.

Even though I work in a kitchen, I still took my own lunch yesterday. Spinach, tomato, avocado, onion, and orange salad. Then I added some chicken to it at work. Everyone who saw it went straight to the giant, walk in frig asking where the spinach was hidden. I said in the bottom draw at my house. LOL
That giant salad lasted me about two hours. Then I had some dates, then I had a Rebar, then I nibbled on Turkey until I got home at had two spinach, tomato, avocado, cheese, onion wraps.
At bed time I wanted some cheese and crackers.
I did give in to one bad craving. I had a molasses cookie after dinner.

last night I went and got a double cheeseburger from wendy's. Can we all collectively say EWWW?
but it was so good!! I have no self control. That was my first real craving along with a big ol bowl of strawberry ice cream. I better learn to restrain myself or I'll be in trouble in a couple weeks.

I am totally cracking up about eating Wendy's and being a vegetarian!
With my first, i had been a veg for years, and i craved red meat like you would not believe! The one thing that i really craved was chicken livers!!!

Yesterday, i have to admit, while i was at work, i started to crave a bologna and cheese on white bread with Miracle Whip!! AHHH!!!! Thank GOD i was at work and had no way of getting one!! I am over that craving now.

I have only craved foods that others are either eating or talking about. I am noticing that EVERYONE I work with has been talking about food lately, and i have been craving everything from fried shrimp to ham sandwiches, bologna sandwiches and italian...good grief.

I feel the exact same way! I am always full/heartburn/indigestion but starving too if I go too long w/ out eating.

I am the same way. I will see somebody eat something, or see an ad, or just think about it and BAM, suddenly I HAVE to have it.

Now thanks to you.... I want one of those sandwiches. :

LOL
I think most of you that are craving the meat need some spinach. It's very high in both zinc and folic acid. I think (think, don't know facts) that the meat cravings are because pregnancy is a suddenly depletion of your zinc stores. Zinc is necessary for healthy cell devision.

I was craving pumpkin yesterday, so I got a pumpkin pie. It made me sick.

Now I want cheese and crackers. Nice, brightly colored, slightly sharp, but not too sharp, cheddar cheese with salted crackers. Hmmmm
Anyone want to join me? *evil snicker*
