Just eaten whole pack of fizzy laces

Am 32+6 and ashamed to say I have literally just chomped my way through a whole pack of fizzy strawberry laces (100g). I could not stop, one after the other.

My diet generally isn’t great but this is bad.

It’s not that bad really is it?

Says the preggo who’s just had a large McDonald’s meal with full sugar coke... Blush

orphanblack1 · 29/07/2018 15:11

It is. But then I tell myself all the things I can’t have and so I should be allowed sweet stuff!

I could murder a McDonald’s!

I used to eat at least a pack a week... definitely cried once when DH ate the ones I'd hidden Angry

Don’t be ashamed!

Eminybob · 29/07/2018 15:32

Nothing wrong with that.

I have just bought a pack of 4 millionaires shortbread from Aldi and have had 1. I can’t see the rest of them lasting the rest of the day to be fair.

Pregnancy is a great excuse to succumb to your cravings.

I ate two Dib Dabs last night... pure sugar Blush

Poundland is great for all this shizzle.

INeedNewShoes · 29/07/2018 15:39

I ate at least 3 packets of Rich Tea biscuits a week when I was pregnant!

Katjolo · 29/07/2018 15:40

Perfectly acceptable. Enjoy!

Stephisaur · 29/07/2018 15:41

I’m now blaming you for the large amount of sweets I have just ordered from the swizzels website 😂 allllll the sugar 😂

DoubleHelix79 · 29/07/2018 15:41

I ate like a complete pig when pregnant with DD. Whole packets of biscuits, mountains of cheese or crisps, it was quite a sight. I normally have a sweet tooth, but that was something else entirely. Hormones shakes head

ReggaetonLente · 29/07/2018 15:44

I just hope the weight comes off quickly and I go back to normal. I’ve definitely got into a new style of eating...

TheCraicDealer · 29/07/2018 15:57

I've heard if you do this the baby's umbilical cord will actually turn into a fizzy lace. Be careful hun x x

orphanblack1 · 29/07/2018 16:33

Yay! I love you ladies. We can’t all be wrong! Maybe it’s just the done thing (off to retrieve second pack from cupboard)

Hypnobirthing last coming round in a mo. Must wipe sugar from round my mouth!!!

Nothing wrong with that. Even un-pregnant I can do a whole bag of tangfastic.
Have you seen Wilko own brand sour mallow clouds? They're fizzy mallows and I'm blaming my being pregnant on how many I'm eating (do not intend to stop when baby is born however!)

Emma765 · 29/07/2018 16:42

I had a whole share bag of Revels on Friday night 🤪

Athers666 · 29/07/2018 17:36

Wowsers, I really want a Mcdonalds now! Aargh😂

Bethacus · 29/07/2018 17:51

This thread has me craving some Tangfastics!

Baby2018 · 29/07/2018 18:28

Haha this was a major craving of mine in trimester 2, I think I ate a whole pack of fizzy cola laces on 3 occasions.... don't worry beat yourself up about it! Wink

rainbowstardrops · 29/07/2018 18:32

Reminds me of my craving for shortbread! I'm more of a savoury girl usually but I'm definitely craving a bit of sugar now reading all these replies!!!

Athers666 · 29/07/2018 18:39

Mmm, shortbread! I could happily eat tonnes of that right now, and I don't even like it! Stupid pregnancy 😂

pieceofpurplesky · 29/07/2018 18:43

I wish I wanted sugar - all I ate when pregnant was cold baked beans Confused

Poppins2016 · 29/07/2018 18:52

Mmmmmmmm...

You've just made me crave fizzy strawberry laces!

Yum.

I think it's fine to have a lot bit of what you fancy every now and then... I 'shared' ate most of a packet of chocolate buttons with DH earlier. Grin

popcorndiva · 29/07/2018 18:56

Drumstick squashies don't last more than ten minutes at the moment. Literally inhale a packet

orphanblack1 · 29/07/2018 18:58

Omg the mallows sound fab! And shortbread!!!!

I’m quite annoyed I’ve not got “cravings” as such, I just saw 2 for £1 on fizzy laces and got them. Only when I opened them couldn’t I stop.

Not really eaten “proper” food today though did have 2 eggs and whole meal toast for lunch.

There are maltesers, time out and twix in the cupboard. I think I’m doomed! But I’ve always loved sweets and chocolate so guess at least my body is used to it!!! Grin
