Cravings

Do you associate cravings with pregnancy? I used to but not any more, not since they’ve been happening to me on almost a daily basis for the last week or so. I’ve been trying so hard to eat properly especially with my handy dandy list of foods high in Potassium. I don’t have much of an appetite though so I usually have to force myself to eat especially breakfast and lunch.

But I get hit with these food cravings that are driving me crazy. One day it was chocolate. Nothing unusual with that and we have a lot of it on hand. Then it was tacos or something with meat (chicken or beef), cheese, taco seasoning, sour cream, etc. I was going crazy trying to find something to eat that would suffice until Hubby came home with the ingredients to actually make them. While I waited I melted some cheese in the microwave, added some chopped tomatoes and ate it with tortilla chips. Anther day it was an Italian sub.

These cravings hit me pretty bad. Without being able to drive I’m stuck waiting on Hubby to get home from work with the goods or calling family and friends subtly asking them if they’re going out and if so where. Then I drop the bomb with my need for a banana split.
