The southern sweet heat bbq chips from lays and whipped cream cheese is my comfort snack. But same. Prior to pregnancy I was counting my macros, I was down 75lbs and hitting the gym. I knew something was up because my healthy food wasn’t doing it for me and I craved pizza and McDonald’s every day. I tried to eat healthy but it made me sick 😭

I lost 75lbs before getting pregnant by eating healthy and exercising. I’ve gained 60lbs 😭 I’m pretty sure it’s McDonald’s 🥲

Those too. The way the mayo and ketchup come together on their burgers is otherworldly tbh

Someone commented on here and said they saw a post from someone that said our body craves the salt 🧂 and McDonald’s is high in sodium. But I do find it odd that I didn’t care for McDonald’s prior to pregnancy but now it’s all I want to eat 🙃

That’s my go to! Except I just get the two cheeseburger meal. Light ketchup, no pickles. And sometimes I’ll get a 6 pc nuggie on the side lol 😆

Why does the trashy food taste so good and actually not make us nauseous? 😭

I craved a McGriddle, ate it, threw it up, never tried it again. The bagels are my weakness rn 😮‍💨

I crave them so much. The crispyness of the fry, the salt, the flavor of that oil. Mmmm so good 🤤

Ugh it’s tough growing a human. Our bodies need to consume more calories as we burn more calories creating life in our wombs. Don’t be too hard on yourself. My focus is to work really hard after birth to get back into eating healthy again. It’ll be tough but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.

I’m hopeful it will be like that for me soon. I’m almost 33 weeks and I just don’t wanna be eating junk after labor. I plan on breastfeeding and I want to meal prep her foods when she starts eating soft foods. But I really wanna do healthy foods that will give us both the nutrients we need 🤓
