Binging week over

[AnneCan]

This is just a rant about food...no point really....

For the last week to week and a half, I've been craving chocolate. This is the first craving I've had, and it completely took me by surprise. I haven't felt hungry at all until I finished some antibiotics a few days ago.

So anyways, I had some Toblerone that was given to me at Christmas. My first thought was "OMG that is SOOO good". Fine, so the next day I ate more, and the next day I ate more. I finished the bar after a week. Of course it made me feel sicker, but less so than my attempt at eating cuccumber or cheese. Yesterday I bought some chocolate covered almonds thinking "hey, at least the almonds are healthy", but now I think my binge is over. I've been absolutely miserable the last two days, and it's not good, because now I'm not eating the other two safe-foods that I was eating before. I'm not eating any more calories per day, plus I feel sicker. Funny thing is, I did this last pregnancy too, right around the same time. It didn't work last time either.

I'm still stalled out on 1/2 white bun or bagel with cream cheese and plain popcorn. Nothing else is working, and I'm so sick of bun and cream cheese. Last pregnancy I stalled out on white bun and swiss cheese for almost 5 months.

Ugh. I am so glad I never have to do this again. End rant.

I'm sorry your having such a tough time...hopefully you will get a new safe food soon! HUGS.....

Well, it's been a month since my chocolate attempt, and I'm still stalled out on 1/2 white bun (actually now all I can do is 1/2 plain bagel) and cream cheese, and plain, salted popcorn. I'm going on 14 weeks of bun and cream cheese. Sigh....16 weeks to go...My recipe book of things I'm going to make after baby is born is pretty impressive though!

I'm living on smoothies coz they're the only thing that doesn't terrify me thinking of it coming back up again.

Anne, reading your post made me think of how I am also planning my recipe list. I live on a can of ensure a day, plus maybe a cup of juice/ bowl of applesauce/jello total. Any time I try something different I pay the price. My recipe list is so incredibly long...

[AnneCan]

Sorry you're still having such a bad time of it Kalanit. I got so sick of Ensure that I had to stop drinking it....I just couldn't drink one more can....the thought of it makes me feel disgusting. You must be so glad to be almost done with this pregnancy!

I have so many recipes in my recipe book now that it will seriously take me a year to make them all. I didn't realize how many I had gathered this pregnancy until I printed them off... .

popsicles, popsicles, popsicles - that's been mostly it so I know how you feel!

I can sometimes choke down some GF pizza for some strange reason. They're so expensive though!
