Addicted to gummie bears and blue bunny vanilla ice cream what about you?

[NicMom]

I have a serious problem with blue bunny vanilla ice cream. I have to have it at least 4 times a week. On top of that I eat gummie bears about 3 or 4 times a week now also. It's no joke I HAVE TO HAVE IT. It's pretty funny I never thought I would have a craving so bad.

Yesterday I was at the store buying... you guessed it gummie bears and this other pregnant woman was doing the same we looked at one another and just started laughing.

I kicked up my exercise routine so I don't feel so bad about my two cravings. I'm fine with the regular pregnancy weight, but need to work on what I call the Gummie Bear effect where my butt is getting huge because of my sweet tooth. I just need to work out enough to burn off the 400 calories a day I have in sweets.

What about you guys? What is your top craving?

Ok so I certainly am having the boy out of this group lol. Chinese. I smell Chinese and my mouth waters I joke to my husband this baby is certainly taking after him. Oh and I ate a chunk of pinapple which I know sounds like nothing however...I HATE the stuff. And I really enjoyed eating it. (Yuck).

Our neighborhood snow cone shop just opened up for the summer. I LOVE their pina colada flavor! I swear it is thee taste of summer. I've had one the last two days in a row and I plan on having one tomorrow too.
I just saw my midwife today and I asked about my diet and excercise. She said I need to eat MORE! I couldn't believe it. It sure is easy to eat more rather than less.  :-)

Mmmmm....I am loving the fruity candies also!  My dh buys them for me as a treat (maybe he shouldn't!) but anything including Gummy Bears, Skittles, Jelly Bellys, Starburst...  Thankfully I only get them a couple of times a week but if they are in the house, they will be eaten!  I am going to the dentist next week. Hopefully I won't have a mouth full of cavities on top of everything else! LOL

I walk my dog once or twice a day - maybe an hour total.  I think that is enough exercise for me.  I had great plans to do yoga etc but I couldn't earlier on and now I just can't be bothered!!

I love chocolate too, but I don't really crave it. Maybe once a week I might have a little bit of chocolate nothing too much.

Did you know Jolly Rancher makes gummies also?? They taste just like the regular jolly rancher flavors, but are gummie.

Chantal, I think walking is really good for you that counts!

I am weird......I LOVE chocolate...but when I eat it it still makes me nauseous!! ugh. Ice cream does the same thing to me. For last 2 weeks I have been craving egg and cheese on an english muffin. Sometimes I need two!! Talk about calories. On top of that...I usually only want it after 11pm!!! I am gonna be so huge. lol. Thankfully so far I've only gained 8 pounds, and as for an exercise routine..I wish! The only thing I do is go around and walk the yard (we have 6acres) and take my son to the pond and to get back home we have to go up  a hill...does that count? lol. If we had sidewalks around here I would out with my son in his stroller and walk everywhere, but I'm too chicken to walk in the road with a stroller.

I have also been craving fruity candy, but try to satisfy it with actual fruit when it strikes!  (Not always successful.  Sometimes only Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans will do.)

Ugh, my top craving is chocolate!!!  Waaaaay worse for you than gummy bears.  LOL!  So don't feel bad.  I will sit there at work and be good all day.  I have slim fast for breakfast (I am a terrible breakfast eater pregnant or not).  Then I have some Yogurt or Healthy cereal for a mid morning snack.  Then I have a Lean Cuisine for lunch w/ 100 calorie pack for dessert.  So, I do really good right???  Um, that would be until I make it home.  Then I begin chowing down on chocolate!!!  It's terrible because I HAVE to have it too!!!  At least you are excercising.  I was very good about that w/ my last pregnancy but I haven't excercised once w/ this pregnancy.  My husband moved all my equipment upstairs and I am SOOOOO unmotivated to go up there and use it!!  We did order me a rowing machine last night.  I mean, I can't use it until after I have the baby, but at least it will be there.  I like rowing machines because they work every muscle at one time.  This way you don't have to spend hours on multiple machines.  Who has time for that???  Especially w/ a new baby, so I think it will be good.  I found one for $150.00 w/ free shipping.  It was regularly $230 and the reviews were pretty good for it, so I got it!!  My birthday is next month, so unless my husband decides to surprise me, that was probably my b-day gift.
