anyone else not eating well???

Im finding that through this pregnancy, im not only not drinking enough but I dont eat very healthy. I cook for my DH a few nights a week and NEVER eat the dinner I cook. Does anyone else cook and not eat what they make? I know im not a bad cook, but it seems like this pregnancy doesnt allow me to eat my own meals and then i have a great meal in front of me that i cooked and i end up eating a bowl of cereal or something from the freezer which generally is no good. what to do!? suggestions??

Re: anyone else not eating well???

for the last 2 weeks of my pg I ate mozzarella sticks almost every night for dinner. I wasn't hungry for a real meal and they were the only thing that appealed to me. I didn't eat well my entire pg though which wasn't good.

Re: anyone else not eating well???

I WAS doing pretty well.... then I discovered applegate farms bacon and have been eating BLTs

Let me clarify on my excesses..... I ONLY eat BLTS
lunch=BLT
dinner=BLT

This CAN'T be good for me
My in-laws gave us tons of easter leftovers, but it is all very heavy fatty foods and I'm completely uninterested. DH is eating that.
I promised myself that tomorrow, I'm returning to greek salads.....

Re: anyone else not eating well???

did your dr. yell at you for not eating well? Today my new ob dr. said i should drink 6-8 water bottles a DAY.. i nearly fell off the table.. cause i dont even think i drink 1 a day of any drink.. im not dehydrated, i just dont drink if im not thirsty, ive always been that way so she suggested flavored water which is ok i guess..and the ONLY foods i want to eat are as follows:

breakfast- waffles (no syrup or anything on them) cinn. toast/apple cinn. waffles/blueberry waffles
- nutrigrain bars- blueberry or apple cinn.
-oatmeal- maple brown sugar
-instant cheese grits
fruit- peaches, plums, pineapples, apples

lunch- dont want to eat anything
dinner- i cook but dont eat it

cereal typically for a LATE dinner- at like 11pm/11:30pm

I dont think this is a good health plan! and all of my snacks are cookies, cinn. buns, fruit, and any other variation of carbs lol

im 28 weeks and have gained 20lbs which she said is average.. but i think ill be going over that if i continue this BAD diet..i need some help or suggestions!!!

Right there with you. I just chowed on Nacho Combos and Hawaiian Punch!

Re: anyone else not eating well???

I am eating healthy - I eat veggies, fruits, drink a ton of milk and calcium and vitamin d fortified OJ.

I splurge too - french fries, chips caffeine free soda

I am up more than 20lbs at 26 weeks so it seems to be working against me.

Re: anyone else not eating well???

Well, since my midwife scolded me a few weeks ago I've worked super hard to change my eating habits.

I definitely upped my veggie intake. At work when I need to much I'll eat a cucumber, mushrooms, or peppers.

Although tonight I have an exception for a snack. Cake batter ice cream!!!!!!

Re: anyone else not eating well???

I'm in this boat. I always ate well before becoming pregnant and in the beginning. Once the heart burn kicked in I became less interested in what was healthy vs. what wouldn't aggravate the heart burn. Oddly enough - the greasier - the less heart burn. I can have a bacon cheeseburger with fries and have no reflux. If I eat a fruit or a bowl of cereal I want to die. Go figure? Plus I never drank soda - now it really helps my stomach, I drink much more soda than water at this point. Poor baby's going to be born with a sugar fix.

Re: anyone else not eating well???

I have the same issue, I eat cereal like twice a day, no meat, barely any water I can't stomach it. I'm 13 weeks and still have really bad MS. I feel your pain!!

Re: anyone else not eating well???

I hate drinking anything--have to force myself to drink.
If I could eat cereal and pancakes all day, every day, I WOULD!!!!
I never want to eat anything but carbs...
30 weeks and 15lbs, not bad, but I feel guilty being this unhealthy.
