French onion soup. Everything bagels with plain cream cheese. Cobb salad. Amy's Mac n' Cheese. Root beer (sparingly.) Honey Nut Cheerios. Dreams of raw oysters and spicy tuna roll while having to settle for "cooked" sushi and going absolutely mad for Wegman's old-fashioned doughnuts.
Who is this carb hound? Do I know her?
These menu items have been my main cravings for "nourishing" PB. I can't really explain the source of most of these as I don't even like bagels or macaroni and cheese, particularly. I don't drink soda and I am not really a cereal person. But the carbs! They beckon for me to consume them in vast quantities.
Vegetables? Take a hike! I will eat some fruits though lately they've been a chief source of heartburn. Actually, most sugars/acids send me reaching for the TUMS. You'd think I'd just be like, "nah, I'm good" but I still eat some of these items, knowing how I'll feel after. Today, after resisting all of Easter, I had a nice portion of Amish coconut cake and guess what? The kid loved it. PB started squirming all over the place with the rush of unctuous coconut and frosting. I was almost down for the count after the reflux following that indulgence.
OK, body. You've had your fun. Now it's time to pack up all the junk and focus on healthy proteins and greens because I just can't anymore.
I have been trying to get PB to move in response to music, light and other sounds like our voices but this baby is resolutely food-response oriented. PB does enjoy yoga and sometimes flutters around in there during down dog but mostly, it's "Mama ate something delicious and I want MORE."
