craving junk

[lookingforward34]

Hi there,

I'm worried because all the healthy foods I ate before I started morning sickness, no longer appeal to me. So, at a time when I'm supposed to be eating very healthfully, things like dark leafy greens, many fruits and veggies, etc, are making me sick. I used to only drink water or tea. Tea is making me sick and so is plain water. I seem to be wanting fruit juices, but I know they're full of sugar. So, I'm forcing myself to take sips of water throughout the day, and when I do want lemonade or cranberry juice, I'm diluting them a bit. I also am craving ginger ale. It's not that what I'm eating is horrible for me, it's just that I was such a healthy eater before and now so many foods are making me sick to my stomach and I'm concerned about my baby's growth. I'm finding that yougurt with cereal is okay, toast is safe...with butter, jam, cheese, an egg, etc. I also seem to want tomato-based foods. Do you think this will pass? I can't even look at a banana or orange. My husband came home yesterday and I was eating chocolate pudding. He almost fainted! :) LOL he has never seen me eat processed foods before. I really hope that my vitamins will make up for the nutrients I'm not getting in my food. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I don't know what my body wants, anything I put into it makes me sick. At first toast didn't bug me but now it does. I have to eat exactly what I have a taste for or I will feel yucky but the problem is I rarely know what it is I have a taste for.

Well I can't eat anything with chocolate in it - it goes right through my system.  The only thing that I have really been craving is cheezies!  They just seem to sit well in my stomach.  I'm trying to eat better, but like lookingforward said.... some of the stuff just makes me sick.

Me too. I never ever crave whoppers and fries and pizza and that is all I want. Forget a nice salad with some chicken no way I would rather chicken nuggets. Ha LOL oh and buffalo wings can't get enough yummy!!!!!

I've been craving junk too. Hell I've been eating any thing EXECEPT ranch. It makes me want to puke every where. Try not to be so worried all will be fine. You aren't alone and I'm drinking fruit juices too because water definitely makes me sick.

I have been wanting junk food too. Not really sweets but more like, burgers, cheese, steak..."Man" Food, lol. I feel bad when I think about it too, but the thought of it sounds soooo good, even right now! BUT that "Poutine" even sounds a bit much for me lol. Maybe its better than it sounds, lol.

I'm an organic junkie but since I've been pregnant, I've been craving all the wrong things like BigMacs and Whoppers and Poutine (a Quebec dish that consists of french fries, cheese curds all smothered in brown gravy... yum!)

Eating healthy is no longer a priority since my nausea is keeping me away from all the good stuff... Ironically I still have to prepare nice organic healthy meals for my 4 year old but can't bear to taste the stuff!
