I've always been an amazing junk food eater. I can remember in 6th grade eating 8 full size candy bars in a day and being so proud of myself. It's a miracle that I don't weigh 400 lbs. My first year teaching I ate a bag of microwave popcorn and red bull for lunch everyday. I still keep the popcorn on hand but I like to mix it up with the occassional peanut butter and jelly sandwich, oatmeal, cereal or a combination of crackers cheese and cookies. Adulthood has slowed my metabolism down some, so the last 10 years I try and be more conscious about eating a salad or steamed vegetable and rice, simple basic healthy foods. Now that I'm in my 26th week of pregnancy the healthy foods are even less appealing. Fruits are still good, because at least they are sweet. But vegetables, forget about it. I have to force myself to eat veggies.
I fear the scale at the Dr.'s office tomorrow. I know I put on more that 1 lb. a week recommendation over the holidays. There were just too many temptations to resist. So I just gave in to all of them. At least I was doing really good before the holidays. I had room for a few extra pounds. But now the holidays are over, so I have no excuse to continue the junk food rampage. My main cravings are cereal (raisin bran), cookies, and all other junk food (in that order).

hehe...another raisin bran lover here. All cereal, really, but I've always been that way. I do find that it's challenging to get all the good food I need since I don't particularly want it.
