Eating Healthy during Pregnancy?

Does anyone else find it really hard to eat heathly during your pregnancy?? I mean I crave chocolate all the time, spaghetti-o's, cereal, PB&J's, PICKLES, ice cream, Pizza Rolls, everything UN-healthy! I know you're supposed to eat healthy during your pregnancy which is why I try to eat a chicken salad sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, an apple and a yogurt and a big glass of milk every day for lunch but it's sooo hard lol!!! Anyone else feel this way??

It's like this...lol

If you eat healthy for a week or so, you'll actually start to crave healthy foods. It's pretty cool. I can't get enough of vegetables. lol

But I do have cravings for unhealthy food a lot, too...I just try to ignore them as best I can. I indulge occasionally.

i ate pretty well w/my first pregnancy. My second on the other hand....... I think I ate mcdonalds every day. I'm sure I'm exageratting (sp?) but I had fast food ALL the time. I felt a lil guilty but, that's what I wanted.

I indulge too much lol. I crave carrots too which is a good thing lol! I try to eat what I posted every day for lunch mixing it up a little each day but then I always go back to my unhealthy foods!

I crave unhealthy things a lot, and I usually give in. You just have to be SUPER careful. Eating better will help your blood sugar levels stay down which can decrease the risk of gestational diabetes. But I'm all for eating good and just indulging once in awhile for the occasional craving.

my mom always told me 2 eat what i crave

Pizza Rolls are whats up! I eat the hell out of them! I also crave grapes, and pickled beets and salads...and I NeVeR eat salads! I have been eating Hershey bars with Almonds. Healthy is expensive too.

Right now I'm actually craving healthy but I don't wanna eat again, I just got done eating spaghetti-o's lol!!!

I find it really really easy to eat healthy right now. Though I've always been kind of a health nut. Every time I start to crave like McDonald's or something (which isn't often) the other half of my brain starts saying things like "Do you want clogged arteries?!"

It is hard for me to eat full healthy meals though. I have to break it down into snacks. Like a bowl of baby carrots. Then a few hours later, some salmon and brown rice. Then later, a salad. Then before bed, yogurt. I'm probably undereating, but I haven't been hungry lately.

I was really bad today though, I had a ham egg and cheese biscuit, a candy bar, and a cucumber sandwich. Not exactly nutricious.
