Somebody stop me!

~Roo'sMama~ wrote: Oh my gosh the cravings have kicked in and I just can't stop! I want cookies, candy, cake, ice cream..... aaahhhhh the list goes on and I suddenly have no self control. Somebody needs to lock me up where I can't get any sweets - I need to check myself into sugar rehab lol. I'm afraid I'm going to end up gaining way too much again - I NEED to stop this now! I've even been trying to eat apples or peanut butter toast and hot chocolate when I get a craving instead of what I really want, but doesn't really work. And I'm getting sick of apples - maybe I need to go to the store and buy every type of fruit they have and try stuffing myself with those instead.

Oh and for the first few months I was doing so good and getting plenty of exercise on top of eating good, and now it's cold and rainy and icky outside and I don't want to be out there so I'm not burning off any of the extra crud I'm eating. Yesterday was a super nice day and I was too sick with a cold to go out and enjoy it, and now today it's been raining all day. I have another dr. appointment next tuesday and I'm going to be afraid to get on the scale.

My2Beauties replied: I, too, have a sweet tooth, I made brownies the other night and the girls only ate like one a piece and the rest are gone Honey, run to the store, buy all the fruit you can find to try and give that sweet tooth something, throw all the candy away and bring it to me....bwa ha ha ha ha! OK sorry, I'm no help because I had a sweet tooth before getting preggo - so it's only that much worse now!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: That's a girl for ya!

I'm not a sweet eater. When I was pg with Maddie I craved everything sweet. With Ethan it was sour stuff and salt.

Sarah_baby#1 replied: Its funny, My cravings have consisted of milk, fruit and salad! I cant eat sweets it hurts my stomach, and chips and stuff just dont smell good. How strange is that!

~Roo'sMama~ replied:

You're lucky! That's the way I am in the very first few weeks of my pregnancies. I wish it would last!

Boys r us replied: Ohhh I know what you're dealing with Sara!! I did so good in the beginning..now I've RUINED IT with my non-stop caving to my cravings...oh well, it's the last time I'm going to be pregnant so I guess I have the rest of my life to lose the baby weight..lol!!

Anyhow, don't be too hard on yourself girl, it's hard work being pregnant..much less pregnant AND well behaved!!

jacobsmama replied: I agree, don't be hard on yourself! Enjoy!

CantWait replied: I don't know what to say to you. My cravings with Anthony were red meat (steak, steak and more steak) and salads of every kind. The only sweet thing I craved were slushies when it got to hot outside.

Maybe try some pineapple. That's a fruit and it's super sweet.

Kaitlin'smom replied: the only thing I ever relaly craved when PG was Milk and I drank TONS of it. I really shoudl have just bought the cow might have been cheeper

when I get that bad sweet totth and dont want to really eat what I really want I go for watermelon, its sweet and also give you extra water.

Tiggersmom2 replied: Tell me about those cravings.....I can eat everything in sight!!! Funny thing is, I NEVER eat sweets but I just can't get enough this pregnancy.

wcs40110 replied: does it seem like the harder you fight it the stronger it gets? Good luck, were all pulling for you. I chewed gum. Then cookies arent as good with that spearmint tastwe in my mouth. Now my problem is even though I'm already down to my prepreggo weight (when i'm not holding Dakota like I am now) I CANNOT resist cookies. Since im homec all day more opportunity to eat... ad dh wants cookies so i keep making them "for him."
