The Sugar Craze

While my weight gain has actually been quite on track (despite some earlier warnings from my doctor) I am afraid that is about to change.
I haven't had any of the pregnancy cravings or the urge to eat a lot up to this point. Probably because the first 3 months I didn't eat anything because I felt so sick. And then for the last 3 I just haven't been that interested in food, maybe due to stress or something. But in the last week or two I have started to have insatiable cravings for anything sweet. Preferably large bags of anything sweet.
Initially I would just go over to my sister's house and eat whatever sweet she had laying around, or make a cake and eat it over the next few days. But when the snowstorm hit last Friday it was like something inside of me snapped. I went to Target and bought several bags of candy. I still have a little bit left but it was mostly gone by Monday. So, I decided to accompany poor, unsuspecting Nic on one of his many Fleet Farm runs. After patiently waiting for him to get what he needed in the manly sections I dragged him over to the candy aisles (yes plural!) and proceeded to spend 10 minutes agonizing over the (only!) 3 bags I was allowing myself to get. Nicholas is understandably confused since I have never been once to inhale bags of candy. I have always loved sweets but usually desserts, not that I didn't eat candy, I just didn't feel the need to buy multiple bags of it.
So her is to my weight gain doubling in the next 3 months. After all, all I ever do is read and eat. Even better we are getting cable this weekend, so now I won't even be doing anything constructive with my mind. I predict hours of laying on the couch watching mind numbing tv, eating myself to cavities and obesity.
