People ask me all the time if I have any sort of weird pregnancy cravings and for the most part, I don't. If anything, I have had more food aversions. I remember going to Sam's Club during my first trimester and just looking at the food in the store made me want to throw up.
Before pregnancy, I craved sweets, especially ice cream, and had a hard time turning them down. With pregnancy, however, I can take them or leave them. I was also a big coffee lover, and now I rarely want it.
I love me some Coke from McDonald's.
It has been a situation where I wake up and think a particular food would be good that day, and that is what I eat. I will say that there have been a few reoccurring things I have wanted over the past five months, including: Coke from McDonald's (I've read that McDonald's does a couple of things different with their mixture in terms of water and syrup freshness to make it taste different), Pad Thai Noodles from Noodles and Company, fruit smoothies and fruit in general.
But when eating anything, I have to really moderate myself because if I eat too much, I will feel uncomfortable and most likely throw it up. In the past, I could eat quite a bit in one sitting (sometimes as much as Randy) so the good thing about pregnancy is that it is forcing portion control on me. Sometimes I feel as if I had gastric bypass surgery, only able to comfortably eat small amounts of food at a time.
Hopefully, when Lydia is here, I can still maintain such portion control and say no to sweets because that will help greatly with me getting back in shape.
