Improved recipe "or something" :-)

9 Replies

Hi ladies, hope u are all well

Ive been craving sweet & sour foods "mainly" now for the last few weeks now, but all of a sudden I cant get enough of Jaffa cakes.

OMG IT'S RIDICULOUS. It even more difficult to pass them now as they're selling double packs in all poundland stores :-)

I've had't to find ways to distract myself away from them as I wouldnt like to develop gestational diabetes or something.

But then inbetween meals i find myself taking 1, then 2 then possibly the pack is almost finished.

Bearing in mind im only 13+ wks gone & wouldnt want to have the worry of diabetes just yet

Anyway i've got a midwife appointment on Wednesday so I'm hoping she dosent tell me my sugar levels are too high. (Ive got to be strong & STAY AWAY FROM THE JAFFA CAKES) arrrrh :-(

Oh yeah, dont get me started on haribos. I've recently finished a fun size multi-bag pack of them & dont want to start again.

I just crave any food I think about it and think I've got to have it and don't feel happy till I have but when I have I'm happy. .. I've got over my kentucky and macdonalds phase thank god. .. The one at the moment is egg and salad cream sandwiches 3 last week. . Had my last lot today thank god and doesn't taste quite the same so that will be the last of them, wonder what it will be next :)

all I want is scones and jam!! I hav limited myself to a pack of 4 a week lol, but I go through fazes normally anything sweet and bad for u, i.e ice cream, cake and crisps but I am also going through strawberries like they r going out of fashion lol! x
