Confession: I started the morning with a bowl of Fiber One and have topped that off with 4 donuts. FOUR DONUTS!!! It's only 10:15, but luckily the chocolate ones are all gone now. I have no self-control when it comes to sugar. Anyone else need to confess something?
-
haha that's amazing. I'm a total enabler, so I'm just going to say... you go girl! I love me some donuts. I've been addicted to the yeast chocolate iced ones lately!
-
@tororojo: lol. I've done all my food shopping online as I know if I actually go into the store I will buy nothing but donuts and doritos!
-
It is 11:18 and I have eaten 3 pieces of candy, not full size but not mini. And I am still hungry.
I brought my lunch today, but all I can think about it is getting some fries from the cafeteria.
@tororojo: Donuts sound so good. I really want some Dunkin munchkins, ever since a friend posted on FB last week about them.
-
I gained 4lbs In a week. Been eating nonstop since my mom flew in on Thursday!
-
@Smurfette: I get a lil nauseous when I get hungry and the first thing I craved was some type of fried potatoes so I stopped by Sonic on my way home to get some tator tots. Yum!!
-
It's too early in the day for me to have any confessions yet (I do all my horrible snacking late at night), but I've had a HUGE sweet tooth this pregnancy. Every time I'm at the store, I buy a bag of chocolate (just got the Reese's Christmas Trees) even though we already have like five bags of chocolate ready for me to consume!
-
@Alivoo01: I LOVED tator tots during my 1st trimester. Like I would eat just that for dinner with cheese melted on top. Maybe you are having a girl too
-
Maybe I should have named this "pregnancy and donuts" !!!
@photojane: Thanks for the encouragement! Right back at you; donuts are the best.
@sea_bass: I've never bought food online, but that does sound like a good way to avoid junk food--add-on things at the checkout have been calling my name lately!
@Smurfette: I think you deserve fries! You know, to top off whatever you brought for lunch.
@chopsuey119: Haha, I know what that's like! I've been pretty stable this past week but I think those donuts may tip the scale.
@Alivoo01: Mmm, Sonic...tots sound amazing! (with cheese sounds even better!)
@Adira: Chocolate makes the heart happy, I think...so our babies will be happy, right?
-
I had a small salad yesterday for lunch...I had plenty of fruit and yogurt to have as a snack, but instead I went out and got a giant Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia cone...at least it's protein, right?
-
@Smurfette: Guess we'll find out in 14 weeks! haha!
-
@maybebaby: I don't know if ice cream is a good source of protein, but I'm sure it has lots of calcium! Ben and Jerry's sounds delicious!
-
I just posted on facebook that I think the holidays are the worst or the best time to be pregnant, depending on how you look at it. I am physically incapable of turning down sweets - chocolate, cookies, candy, cake, ice cream, pie.... My friends all responded, "You'll miss the baby excuse, so enjoy it while you can!" But I can't help but feel a little guilty about all the crap I've been eating!
-
@littlebug: It kind of annoys me when people say "you're pregnant, you should just eat what you want!" That is stupid. I'm pregnant so I should try to nourish this little baby, not just eat sugar! I'm still working on the self-control part, but I think as long as we eat some good stuff along with the sweets, it'll be okay.
-
@tororojo: Right. I always try to have a salad with my gigantic brownie ice cream sundae! Hee hee.
-
I have had NO self-control over any kind of sweets during this pregnancy! Coca-Cola, cinnamon buns, chocolate croissants, chocolate, ice cream, donuts. Yikes! Some of that is all in one week!
-
Umm there is a bowl of mini reese's at a co-worker's desk and I keep going and grabbing a handful 0_0
I also had ice cream + a very fatty tomato basil soup + hot cocoa w/heavy cream last night.... IT WAS WORTH IT. -
@tororojo: I'm so wrong here, but I totally live by the "I'm pregnant, I can eat whatever I want!!" mantra. I get to wear stretch pants and don't have to suck in, so there's nothing standing between me and the sweets. I've only gained about 15 pounds, consistently had normal/low bp, perfect glucose levels and I'm 31+ weeks, so I guess I'm okay.
-
This weekend, we had half a pan of rice crispies with chocolate in them...I ate the whole thing in two days by myself. Yum. Then I wanderd why I gained two pounds in 5 days!
-
I've eating several peanut butter balls (generous size), crazy bread for lunch and homemade taffy. That is all I have eaten, all.day.long. I need a veggie or something
ETA: but I'm not even pregnant, I just had to add how horrible I am! I'm worse now 14 weeks PP than I was when I was actually pregnant. -
I have GD and I still sneak little pieces of forbidden stuff. Somebody brought two of those amazing Panera pastry rings to work so I had the tiniest slice a couple hours after lunch yesterday. Same with the red velvet ice cream cake we had on Friday for birthdays. I test my sugar an hour later and it's always in the low 100s so I know it's not having a detrimental effect but I still feel guilty about it!
-
@Bao: LOL throw some broccoli into the mix, you're good to go.
-
@Bookworm: Co-workers w/candy bowls are the hardest! The girl I work with always has delicious candy on her desk and pressures me to eat it; so hard to resist!
@photojane: I think it's fine to indulge some (ha, obviously...4 donuts today...) but I try not to give myself license to eat everything! I'm almost 29 weeks and have gained 25 so I'm trying to slow things down just a little and not go over the 35 mark.
@Bao: CRAZY BREAD!!!! That sounds amazing.
-
And my boss just walked around with free cookies so I just had two of them... there goes my plan of trying to eat healthier this week!
-
I ate McDonalds twice on Saturday and had Starbucks....at least the starbucks was decaf/sugar free/ fat free but still....I'm a mess lol
@ladyfingers: I swear I can eat anything I want in the afternoon and my sugar won't be high. But, if I so much as look at something sweet in the morning it's through the roof lol -
I have a raging sweet tooth that's gotten worse being pregnant. I'm so close to my due date now (2 days!) that I'm pretty much eating whatever I want since I'll have to stop soon. With that being said, I didn't have anything sweet in the house to snack on, so I finished part of a bag of chocolate chips that were left over from some cookies I made a few weeks ago! I'm hoping these cravings go away quickly post partum!!
-
@charliewhiskey: Wow, 2 days left? Congrats! You should definitely eat all you want because you'll probably have a no-eating period pretty soon w/labor and delivery. I think chocolate chips make a great snack!
-
@tororojo: Thanks! It's been a frustrating week or so for sure (the waiting is killing me...as I'm sure it does everyone else!). I'm considering all that sugar is just energy...just in case! I think this baby might come out chocolate-covered...
-
So, after my 4 donuts yesterday I ended up losing a pound...? Weird. I did go on 2 walks to try to negate all the empty calories. I think this means I should eat donuts every day!
-
@tororojo: That's awesome and means you should totally have 4 more donuts today.
-
@Alivoo01: I'm with you and craving tator tots (and fries!....and anything else starchy and potatoey)
-
@ValentineMommy: Yes!!! Just plain bread, not so much but fried potato goodness - yes please!!! haha!
-
UGH DO IT and don't feel bad! You're so lucky! I was diagnosed with GD and I'm only nine weeks... I didn't even get the chance to pig out and now I have to be super careful about what I eat! Luckily I haven't had cravings though.
-
Just downed half a bag of potato chips myself... can't get enough carbs!! Bagels and cream cheese are a MUST for me in the morning. Oh, and my NT scan is Friday at 7 am so DH and I have declared it a Mandatory Donut Morning, 'cuz the baby needs to be lively to his/her photo shoot ;)! I'm sure I'll have a bagel though, too!
