So I've noticed changes over the last few weeks. I don't mean just in my body , as it changes shape and size..I mean in eating habits and moods. I can't help feeling sorry for hubby as it seems he is the one most affected by these changes.
When you find out your expecting you wait for the cravings ..will they be weird ones? healthy ones? totally unhealthy ones? I am no exception to this. More so as I was convinced that I was having a girl from the start and after looking into old wives tales regarding how to find out your baby's gender, it appeared if you're carrying a girl you crave sweet things..sounds good to me.
So I was a little disappointed that instead of wanting chocolate til I burst, I was craving beef monster munch, cheese on toast and eggs of all sorts. This didn't change my mind about baby's gender and as always was right lol .
But the last few weeks I've had sudden urges for sweet things. Ranging from chocolate to puddings and yoghurt's. So far so good...for me that is. Not so good for my husband..you see he's a chocoholic which means I'm eating into his stash. I don't mean to and I do try to suppress these cravings after all as big as babylea is getting (or is that me?) I've not really put extra weight on (at least I think I haven't).
But it seems like I have no control on these cravings and the chocoholic (babylea?) inside takes over. Oh, I do try not to eat the chocolate and have tried to trick my cravings into submission by cheating. For instance, one trick is making hot chocolate to drink rather than tea just to take the edge off the craving. Sometimes this works..but only for a little while.
There was a tin of Quality streets in the house early this week...bad idea..I didn't eat all of them but most of them am afraid to say. I will try to refrain from buying these again otherwise at this rate I will be the size of a double decker bus and with just over 14 weeks to go I'd rather not be. These tins should be banned until much nearer to xmas ..after all it's just temptation..one I am unable to fight! But if the shop didn't stock them I wouldn't have brought them :P
Along with these cravings comes the embarressment of admitting that the whole box (a small one) of maltesers that were in the cupboard this morning was in actual fact devoured while watching Loose women and all by me (babylea too). While hubby is quite understanding, I get frustrated that I get so hungry and have these cravings I just cannot control regardless of my attempts to trick them.
So for now I guess I'm going to have to admit slight defeat and give in..just a little.
But not too much for the sake of my husband's chocolate stash and my sanity.
