Are you an ice chomper?

[browneyes]

I am. I love ice. I've heard if you love to eat ice, you're low in iron. My iron has always been on the high side though. I think I just hate thinking of my ice going to waste.

When I was pregnant, esp the last two months of each pregancy, I could eat ice by the bucketful. Not just any ice, mind you, the Corner Bakery's ice.... crushed ice... OMG I was in prue heaven munching on that ice.

On the way to the hospital to give birth to my last child, we stopped at the Corner Bakery and grabbed 4 cups to bring with us. LOL

Day after each child was born, I tried eating that ice... did NOTHING for me.

Yes, those iron deficient often crave ice... I crave ice constantly, it's almost a need that I can never get enough of. Very annoying to my husband, btw.

When I go to restaurants, I rarely get a beverage - just a cup of ice.

I eat at least 8 trays of ice at home each day...

I am severly anemic, btw.

Other strange cravings for those very low in iron including eating things like dirt and paper. I'm glad i just crave ice =)

Nope! Please don't chomp ice around me, its one of my big pet peeves.

 

[jx3smom]

I do not chomp ice and I hate to hear someone else doing it.

Boy I used to be an ice addict. Then I learned how bad it is for your teeth! (It wasn't obvious enough to me for some reason. ) So now I only eat it on special occasions.

Only when it's hot outside.

I crave ice. I chomp constantly. I know how bad it is for my teeth, but do it anyway. I especially like the ice at Sonic, crushed and soaked in DP, mmmmmm.

My girls both can't stand hearing my eat ice, it drives them crazy, so have to leave the room if I feel the need to chomp.

I am also anemic (low red blood cells) and iron deficient (what cells I have are small), so maybe that's why I crave ice.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

No, please stop even talking about it - It give me the willies!!

It's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Yup...I don't go get ice for the sake of it, but after I finish any drink, you might as well prepare for the ice crunching.

 

[Jasminesmommy]

It has to ice chips or crushed. Especially when i was pregnant. When my sister had her baby this past Dec I was eating her ice chips.

Ya'll need to buy an ice shaver. Best 20 bucks I've spent. Its the most used small appliance in our house. Heck its prob. used more than the dishwasher. Also helps to stop the late night munching.

[pkasbohm]

i eat ice and it drive dh crazy! I will get some ice out of the freezer and let it thaw a little and then start chomping! It keeps my food cravings away.

 

[Jolie C]

I used to chew ice, but stopped when I started driving people crazy. Once in awhile, though....

 

[PenskeSth1]

I always have a cup full of ice with me seems I can never get enough. Funny thing is DD 15 chomps on ice all the time to.
