Anyone else eating junkfood/craving sweets?

Hi ladies, it appears that im recently addicted to junk food and candy. No matter how much I eat I cant get enough! Just today I went through a box of Runts, cotten candy, chocolate covered raisins and twizzlers. I try to eat healthy during meals but lately I have been turning more towards the fried and fatty options. Anyone else having this issue?

this is my biggest craving right now! I can't seem to get enough of candy bars (especially snickers & milky way). It's so unusual for me because typically I'm not a big fan of chocolate (maybe once every few months I want a candy bar). Just this morning as I was waiting for my breakfast to finish, I grabbed two mini sized milky ways out of my candy jar ;P

If you crave chocolate you have to try the FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE from Epicurious.com It is so easy to make and it's deadly.  I just made it for my husband's bday and I'm still enjoying it (he has put the biggest dent in it but now he's away so it's all mine!)

CANDY!!!! Jelly beans, feet and fuzzy peaches.  They're so bad but so good.

I wish I craved something... anything. I am force feeding myself 5-6 times a day but rarely actually want to eat and don't have a particular like for anything. Occasionally something will sound really good but after a few bites, I'm done.  I eat tons of fruit, veggies, and protein every day but only because I know I need it.

Well im glad to hear that chocolate is good for baby because I bought a 1 pd bag of Kit Kat halloween candy but know it wont last till Halloween in my house. Yes, the cotten candy was a HUGE craving that I have had and about fell over when I saw it for sale at the Subway in our walmart. My hunny was like "You know thats pure sugar right?" hehe Well DUH!! That's probably why I wanted it so bad. For some reason I have NOOO desire to eat salads and I used to eat them all of the time pre-pregnancy. Thankfully I am gaining weight like im suppose to and they havent made me cut back yet :)

wannabeamommy- I wonder what the sour things means? Please excuse my terrible memory but did you find out what you were having yet?

I am a total health nut and craves sweets like crazy this time.  I actaully bought some of those 100 calorie snack packs last week...then yesterday went out and got cookies, choc. cake, candy bar and pudding.  LOL.  Lucky I only need a tiny bite to satisfy those cravings.

I did see on the news yesterday morning that chocolate is good for the baby!!!!
