cravings...

4:16 PM / 3 comments

I just have so many cravings. Now that I'm pregnant I seem to want seafood all the time but my OB said I should limit my seafood intake to twice a week because of mercury content. I swear it's killing me not to eat seafood. The girls and I just love fried tilapia dipped in tomatoes and salt. Now I can only eat that once in a while. Now I'm craving Adobong pusit and Crabs. Arggggh! I'm getting tired of eating the same thing everyday. Yogurt, milk, bananas, oatmeal, Calcium-enriched orange juice are usually part of my daily food intake. I'm also limited to just a couple of cups of rice everyday. It's really hard for me because I'm such a rice person. If I don't eat rice I feel like I'm hungry all day long lol. I have avoided sardines, tuna, oysters, lobsters & mussels at all cost believing that they have more mercury than any other seafood. And every food that I put inside my mouth has to be research many times over hehehe. Talk about paranoia. I keep telling myself that I can eat anything as long as I eat in moderation but I have this thing with food that when I crave for one food I want to eat it everyday. I bet that's particularly true now that I'm pregnant. That's why if I can avoid it I don't eat it. Last week I craved for In & out's Cheeseburger. I ate twice that week and then I want more but I limit myself of eating too much fastfood. It took so much will-power not to go back at In & Out and buy another cheeseburger lol.

I think I will just write it here what I want to eat but can't lol:
Yema...parents are going home to the Philippines and I asked them to buy me lots and lots of these lol
Marzipan...I recently ate these marzipan from the Philippines called Daisy's Marzipan and they are to die for...they have Yema inside lol.
Oysters with lemon...wahhhh I know I can't eat this throughout my pregnancy.
Crabs lots of crabs lol....they are fatty so I can't eat too much..and I think this is what I crave the most and I want it dip in tomatoes and salt..weird I know!
White Chocolate frappuccino from starbucks...I haven't drank anything from starbucks for like three years now but now I want to drink some frap..gosh pregnancy really messes up your diet lol.
In & Out's Cheeseburger with lots and lots of spread & onions...of course they are fatty so I can't eat that much
Kilawin na Shrimp...I miss this..my dad makes the greatest kilawin but of course I can't eat anything raw


I should go before I start to salivate lol. Thanks again for reading
