Our family eats pretty healthy. Lean meats. Veggies. Very few sweets. Most people laugh when I tell them our kids have only been to McDonald's about 5 times total in their whole lives.
I'm the girl that eats black beans nearly every day because I had read that they are one of the most perfect foods for your body. Well, that and I loooooove them.
Yes, we eat well around here.
Except when I am pregnant.
It's kind of crazy that when my body needs those nutrients most I want them the least. What sounds good to me when I'm pregnant? Poptarts. Mashed potatoes. Fritos. Cereal. Nacho BelGrande from Taco Bell. Chicken sandwiches from Burger King.
Lovely.
I get so frustrated with myself because I WANT to eat healthy....but the thought of a salad makes me want to hurl. Ugh.
I find solace in the fact that a friend of mine told me that the baby draws on nutrients in my body long before I ever got pregnant.
I sure hope so....I'm pretty sure the nutrients in a smores Poptart are pretty much non-existent!
Ahhhhhh, the joys of pregnancy! ♥

You totally crack me up, because I am the same way! I took my kids to McDonalds the other day (they are 10 and 8) and the 8 year old commented that it was only her 2nd time at McDonalds EVER! This isn't totally accurate, but it is pretty close. I try to feed my kids healthy as well- but every now and then my body craves junk too!
Everything in moderation!
Good luck!
