OMG! The cravings I have that I can not ignore are:

1. Loaded baked potatoes - you know the ones with barbeque chop beef, onion, bacon bits, cheese, butter, and sour cream.

2. French fries

I know too much starch but I can not help my self. I have to have one or the other once a week. I know I know I am soooo bad but it's soooo good. LOL

Early on (1st and 2nd months) I had such bad cravings for junk- fast food (taco bell, wendys, etc) which was funny because I usually eat pretty healthy. But, I also had cravings for healthier options like soups and vegetables, which have continued and thankfully my fast-food cravings have stopped!

Oh, does anyone else have food aversions? My fav pre-pregnancy food was chicken, and although it is coming back slightly, the first few months I could not even look at it. Same thing for steak.

It especially sucks when a family member calls or emails that they made me a big plate of ___(**fill in your most hated food right now**) and I feel so bad! It is double bad because I loved this food before and woulda loved a custom dinner 5 months ago! lol

OMG!!! I am so glad that I have a partner in the craving dept.

I CANNOT live without French Fries. I have to have at least on order every day or every other day.

I know I shouldn't have all the starch but my body doesn't care about that. LOL

I have a total aversion to steak also. I can eat a few steak tips now but a full on steak, forget it.

Cravings I have not really had many. I wanted doritoes for a while there but that lasted a few days.

One craving that made me realize I was pregnant before I took the test was that I couldn't get enough of olives! Little green Manzanelli olives ran my life for a month straight. I wanted to eat a jar a day but DH nixed that idea and watched me like a hawk whenever I cracked a jar...lol

I'm so glad that craving is over. My ankles were HUGE from all the salt.
