junk food :(

I will be 10 weeks tomorrow. Before getting  pregnant (this is my second,) I was working out 6 days a week and had completely changed my eating habits. I was down about 60 lbs. Once morning sickness hit, I had to stop working out. I plan to once I feel better but I'm still not up to it. Anyway, when I'm not feeling the absolute nausea, I want nothing but junk. And you ladies know how hard it is to resist pregnancy cravings. I'm so afraid in going to gain way more weight than I should. Chocolate, pizza, fast food, carbs. Why can't I crave fruit and veggies?? Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else was in this boat?

I'm so glad to know I'm not alone. I'm literally feeling the opposite of how I usually do. This is hard...

Im the same. Working out and eating healthy but I can safely say a salad doesnt appeal to me where as a nice pizza or chips do. However I've got a thing for roast dinners at the moment and would happily eat one everyday so theres so veg on there along with the milloon roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings lol x

I guess its just random.  I usually am really bad at eating junk all the time and I can hardly keep anything down but healthy food. Its so weird to me. And my doc thinks im starving my kid.

I was the same way. I was in boxing and kickboxing 5 days a week. I was also a a dancer,  so I've always watched my weight. I'm still eating healthy, but I'm craving fries and pizza...so as long as you do it moderation hunnie you should be fine. Good luck!

Yes! I was the same way. Had been working out & was doing a low carb diet before getting pregnant. Now I can't stand anything healthy. Chicken grosses me out, veggies are repulsive, & fruit just doesn't float my boat.
I'm hoping as my pregnancy progesses, the taste for healthy will return because I also worry about gaining too much weight.
