Food No No's Posted: 01-20-04 17:00pm
Hi everyone! Ok. .Im getting a little
annoyed with myself. Ive gained quite a
bit sense during my pregnancy so far
(about 10 lbs) im 13 weeks.. Anyhow, im
trying to stay healthy and I dont want to
gain anymore then I have to... But I
crave certain foods all the time. .Like
today, and yesterday, I am craving q'doba
(mexican food place) which is high in fat
and cals im sure.... I want to eat
healthy tho and only gain what I have to..
But when I have these cravings, their to
the point where absolutely nothing else
sounds good and I want to eat nothing else
except for what im craving...Their bad..
I mean, its like me, my head, or my body
wont let me except any other food! But
how can I keep from gaining extra fat if I
keep giving in??? If I dont give in, its
like idont want to eat anything at all
then. Is this normal??? I feel like a
immature little baby who needs to have
their way. . Lol

Food On the Mind!!! Posted: 01-21-04 01:33am
I think what your body craves is something
it may need, not for sure though, so are
you craving mexican food that is always
fried and possibly greasy or just eating
extra sour cream on all of it?
I look at it this way, cheese is full of
calcium, so is sour cream, beans are good
and full of protein, beef or chicken is
good for you and tomatoes are healthy. So
it goes on....And if you are able to
exercise or walk quite often it won't be
so bad.
Try to tell yourself that you need to eat
a balanced diet. Fruits and veggies etc.
Take your prenatal vitamins and you will
have a healthy little one. Try not to
focus on the weight gain too much. Most
of it, if not all of it will eventually go
away with a healthy diet and exercise.
We all crave different things at different
times and that can change into other
things(cravings) so it will get better.
Don't punish yourself and enjoy the little
things. I loved milk and oreo cookies
for the longest time... Keep us posted
and good luck with your cravings....
