1st trimester - Heelllppp!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi gang,

OK - I know the drill - been doing it mostly good for a few months.

However, I am now 7 weeks pregnant, and my body is going wacko on me! I

have all the good foods around the house. I have them made and convenient

to eat. I am often queasy, and often not hungry. When I do finally go

to eat, I look in the fridge, and nothing is appealing.

Salad used to be my favorite meal of the day (including 3 boiled eggs on the

top.) Now I can't stomach the thought. I have a soup that I love to eat -

but not anymore. I never had much of a problem with cravings, but now I

really crave carbs! When I'm hungry and I go to the fridge to pull out some

food, my brain checks off everything in the fridge. Internal dialog goes

something like this: " salmon - yuck. meatball - yuck. soup - yuck. salad

- yuck. egg - double yuck! " I close the fridge and walk away. 15 minutes

later, I go through it again, only I'm weaker and feeling a bit queasy.

What doesn't sound yucky to my brain are some fruits and/or carb foods.

I know the answer - stick to the diet of course. But not much food is

getting in! Oh, and don't get me wrong - I'm sitting here eating a rice

cake. I just couldn't eat anything in the fridge!

Thanks for any insight!
