That makes you want to eat crap?
Yesterday I went to the grocery store and came home with Coco Pebbles and Hot Pockets. WtF? Those are not things we ever, ever eat in our household. But when I saw them in the store, I couldn't resist. Something came over me that told me I was going to die without them.
Ugh. Why don't I crave quinoa and asparagus?

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I don't know! I seriously had not had McDonald's french fries in more than 5 years pp, but I *craved* them during my pregnancy?!

Baahahah, agree 100%. I mean, I typically don't have a fabulous diet, but since I've been pregnant, I feel like it's gotten worse! I think for me, a lot of it has to do with "letting" myself be worse...like in the back of my mind "justifying" it with, "Oh, you're pregnant, what's the big deal, enjoy it while you can!" or something... Hmm... Anyway, off to finish this triple chocolate cookie I started before I read your post...

HAHA
When I was pregnant, I craved chips and queso and fajitas.. every day. Good thing DH was ok w/ that. But yeah... I ate like crap

HAHAHA. You know what I ate one time while pregnant? An entire box of those stupid shortbread striped cookies. I NEVER EVER EVER buy that shit. Yet i ate a whole box. *hangs head in shame*

Ugh I have no idea and I hate it. I'm eating like a 10 year old. Here's what I've bought in the past couple days:
Poptarts, Goldfish, Teddy Grahams, Granola Bars, Fruit Snacks, Ellio's Pizza... so much junk

I hear you!! I'm forcing myself to eat an apple right now but what I really want is CHOCOLATE. I'm heading to the grocery store soon and it might not be pretty...
Also I may or may not have went a little pregnant lady crazy on the McD's worker who told me I couldn't use my free ice-cream coupon on chocolate ice cream. Had to settle for vanilla and it totally wasn't the same.

Mmmm, Mcdonalds!! Stop talking about McDonalds, you're driving this gestational diabetic crazy!! I haven't eaten crap for 9 weeks now and , although I do feel awesome for it (better than I've felt in years), what I wouldn't give for a Big Mac, Fries and an entire box of shortbread. Mmm!

Hahaha I know, right?! Pre-preg I was really on my healthy diet game for over a year -- ate every 3 hours, kept my protein/carb ratios in line at every meal, very little sugar, no gluten. Now?! I have moments, weekly, in which I NEED a toasted bagel with cream cheese. Other cravings on the list have included, tuna melts, pub cheese, egg sandwiches, brocolli cheddar soup from Panera (with bread, of course), ramen...oy. It's going to be difficult to get back into good habits once DS arrives

Haha...with DS I ate sausage gravy biscuits almost everyday from McDonald's. With S, all I wanted was onion rings. It was nuts!

Dh used to always make sure I ATE before going grocery shopping. That way- I'd e turned off by the food nd wouldn't go overboard. Too bad it didn't always work...

Yup, ice cream is now part of my daily diet. I was never like this pre-pregnancy. I blame it on the extreme heat!

@Modern Daisy: haha, ice cream has always been part of my daily diet! one of DH's friends was over the other night and i was like "oh no, we're out of ice cream!" and DH jumped off the couch on cue like he needed to go get us some. DH's friend was like "wow, must be nice to be pregnant!" and DH was like "oh she's always been like this. A freezer without ice cream is a tragedy in this household!"
I may have had leftover pizza for breakfast twice this weekend. Yea, breakfast!

I definitely made a special trip for chocolate Pop-tarts this weekend. No shame at all. I can't wait to get back to cooking this week though!

My last craving was sugar cookies. And my biggest has been coffee. Everything is fine in moderation 
pomegranate / 3003 posts
Girl, tell me about it. Prior to getting pregnant, I was the queen of kale and quinoa. Now, I call DH on his way home from work to get me some of those, "sweet, sweet cinnamon balls" from Taco Bell. FML.

Ahhhhhhhh. So glad I'm not alone.
Driving through Jack in the Box right now to get an iced coffee and curly fries.
I swear I'm having salad for dinner.

Uh, yeah, what is that... I NEVER eat cereal because I hate hate hate milk. But, while pregnant I HAD to have it, so I bought a box and got some almond milk to have with it. So random!

This was me the whole first trimester-- the more processed, the more I wanted it. Like for a week straight I had a full on craving for those processed stuffed chicken breast things they sell in every college cafeteria, only I was in WHOLE FOODS and they are too fancy to sell that crap.
Thankfully, once I made it out of the first trimester I'm more normal. I definitely put a lot more chocolate in the cart, but I think part of it is that I let myself more. Like... ice cream. Baby needs calcium right? Surprisingly the baby also craves fruit, especially watermelon, and real fruit popsicles.

Oh my gosh, when I was pregnant with B all I wanted was frozen crappy food! So weird. But I didn't crave anything like that with E (maybe a few pints of ice cream but nothing that was crazy bad).

Well thanks to this thread I am probably going to have to stop for a bag of chips for my drive home. Good thing there isn't a mcdonald's in the town i'm working in because guaranteed I would be making a trip there!
