Mystery Cravings

[FFC]

So do any of you ever get a craving - a strong, full on craving - for something.... and not know what you're craving? It happens to me a lot and it's frustrating! First thing I do is drink water, but that never helps.

I just had one right after I ate lunch... :bbconfused:

I hate that, it always makes me eat and eat trying to hit the spot and afterwards I usually still have the weird craving and all I did was eat a ton of food I didn't need lol

Though maybe your cravings are because you will be getting a BFP soon!

Hehe. I wish! I just got tested at the dr. yesterday and it was a :bfn:

Yeah though! It does make me just wanna eat everything in sight to quench my craving. I'm stuffed from lunch though and struggling to keep my eyes open as it is lol.

That totally happens to me!! The funny thing is that a few days later I will eat something, and be like "oh yeah - that's what it was that I wanted last Wednesday!"

I also get very specific cravings for things I don't usually eat. For the past week I have been dying for fried chicken, and it's probably been years since I've had any! I can just imagine what kind of things I will be wanting once I'm pregnant!

LOL! That reminds me - once on a blue moon I get a craving for Tuna... and I really don't like tuna at all... so I'll go get a can of solid white albacore in water and have me a sandwich and really not like it but it cures my craving LOL.

I read somewhere that a lot of times when you are craving something it is because you are lacking some kind of nutrient in your diet. And sometimes our cravings do not always make the most sense..... For example you may be craving ice cream, not for all the nutrients that are in ice cream :lafhard:, but decause you are lacking the dairy or calcium in your diet....

I am not really sure what nutrient I am lacking when I want chocolate though!

You know I've heard that too Brendalin... I've been eating a bit healthier lately - trying to anyway. Odd that I'd crave something just as I'm starting to eat healthy anyway.
