My food cravings so far

My first craving (around week 6 or 7) was for salty foods. That is bizarre for me because I typically don’t like anything super salty. I cured and killed that craving by going to Wendy’s for lunch one day and ordering a large fries. One of my co-workers commented, “What are you pregnant you never eat that stuff.” I hadn’t told any one at that point and the comment freaked me out because I didn’t want anyone at work to know yet (except a couple of people). I actually got sick from those fries.

My next craving was for mangos. I would buy a container of sliced mangos – there were probably about two or three mangos in a container and I would eat one of those a day with lime and salt. That lasted for about three weeks. After or maybe even during that craving I would eat sandwiches with refried beans, ham, feta cheese, and tons of jalapeños. Recently I was on a canned muscles kick – muscles on saltines with Tabasco sauce. I made sure not to eat that one more than twice a week for fear of mercury content. Aside from the amount of mangos those last three are very normal cravings for me, so I didn’t really count them.

Yesterday I had an odd craving (odd for me) that I wasn’t able to fulfill until today. Macaroni salad - actually the peas and hard-boiled eggs were what I wanted, but I don’t like peas by themselves.

1 sm. box elbow macaroni, cooked, drained, and cooled
2 cups frozen peas
2 eggs, boiled
1/2 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. pickle relish

Oh and for the past two weeks I’ve been snacking solely on fruit – I’ve never liked pears so much
