Weird Food Cravings

[Hippychickali]

I'm 100% sure I'm not pregnant but I've been having some weird food cravings lately. Today, since I woke up this morning, I have had a craving for white birthday cake. I don't know why. The other night I needed to have mushrooms. I've never craved fungus before. Have you had any weird food cravings?

when I was pregnant I wanted English Muffins. They had to be Orrowheat which was the brand sold on the west coast. I live on the East coast so it was kind of difficult. Then with my second one I had this thing for tuna sandwiches BUT they had to be made by my mother because I could not make them the same as she did. I would starve before I went to my ob-gyn for weigh in (he was a weight fiend) then go to my mothers and eat three sandwiches and take two for the road. In light of some of the things that I have heard people crave these as well as yours are pretty mundane. Hopefully you will not develop a craving for some difficult to obtain food. THAT is HE((

When I was pregnant I always wanted Coke Slushies and smoked salmon (there's a combination!)

And I couldn't even think about chicken - yuck! My brother was messing around talking to me on the phone and kept saying "chickenchickenchicken" and I had to throw down the phone and puke. (He was sorry)

When I was pregnant, I wanted bologna one day. I never eat bologna. Thank God my ex-sis-in-law was pregnant too, with the same weird bologna craving, so I went to her house and had one slice. Don't think I've had bologna since (and that was 14 years ago).

But the weird thing is I'm not pregnant and this is day 2 of the cake craving!

I misread your original post! LOL

Anywho, maybe your body just "needs" something in that type of cake. Just have some!

I'm not preggers either, but I often crave stale Cheese Puffs. I just buy a bag, let it sit wide open and then the next day eat 'em up.

I don't know. I just like them a li'l chewy.

But nobody's having a birthday.

So? Have an unbirthday party for yourself and buy some!

I'm not pregnant either but lately I've been craving certain things too...here are just a few

spicey chicken sandwiches from Wendy's....nothing else...just spicey chicken
filet of fish sandwiches from McDonalds
pay day candy bars

it's so wierd....every day when people are going out to lunch at work..I'm like "are you going to Wendy's?" "Are you going to McDonalds?" It's all I seem to want lately.

I have cravings all the time, and will literally eat the same thing for a week, until I get sick of it and can't even look at it for another month.

Lately, I've been craving potato skins, but they are SO fattening... The last time I got hooked on them, I ate them every day for two weeks. I was even making them at home.

I was reading another thread about homemade candy, and now I can't get the idea of chocolate covered Oreos out of my head. I'm going to try to be strong, but I think I see a trip to the grocery store in my future!

I'd rather crave birthday cake than dirt. I watched a local TV news show about a month ago (when I live in AL) and they showed women craving dirt/clay. These women would go our in fields and dig down to the clay/dirt and eat it. Said their whole family craved it!...
Here is the link if dont believe me......

Well, hippychickali, I say if you're craving cake--you need to get you some! I get food cravings all the time--I'll either make it or buy it and I try to just eat a bit--not the whole cake! Then, I take the extras into work. If I'm going to pig out--I'm taking everybody with me.

When I was pregnant, I craved mashed potatos--I'd get a quart at KFC at lunchtime and eat the whole thing. And, I craved mac-n-cheese. Not homemade mac-n-cheese but the icky gooey kind you get at cafeterias. Golden Corral loved to see me coming! I also ate a whole bag of Oreos in one sitting--totally weird for me because I usually only eat 3 at a time.

When I was pregnant with first dd I craved wheat toast with spicy mustard, cheese, and sour kraut. I ate it nightly and it was pretty good but I don't care for it now.

I finally succumbed to probably my weirdest food craving tonight. Pickles and buttermilk. My kids think I'm too weird.

BTW, I crave weird foods when I'm not pregnant. When I'm pregnant, I eat like a normal person would.

You will all be happy to know that I bought cake...finally. It wasn't a birthday cake but a Valentine's Day cake. I just couldn't resist any longer. Let me tell you...it tastes so good.

Even before I got preg. I always had weird cravings. I think that having a food aversion would be a better indicator for me as to whether I was prego or not. I may crave everything under the sun, but I never get sick from the thought of food...until I got preg. Honestly, before I really knew I was preg., DH was cooking eggs and the smell made me queasy. I am in my 3rd trimester and still can't eat them. I also couldn't stand the very thought of mayo for a while. I can eat that now though. That is how I think I knew I was preg. I crave lots of things that people find weird and right now I blame it on being preg. But, shh! Don't tell anyone that I crave those same things when I am not preg. as well!
