So because I'm hungry all the time now (see earlier posts if you're confused as to why), I've become very greedy with my food.
Case #1
We were at some friends' house and the husband popped me some popcorn and gave me the bowl. As I sat there eating it, I thought, "I'm not going to share this bowl (with his wife next to me). I'm starving and we're going to be here about 3 hours. I've already eaten my nutrigrain bar. I've got to eat this whole bowl by myself." So I never offered her any. When I would set the bowl down, I put it between Josh and me so she couldn't reach for any. I had no guilt either. I thought, "Hey, it's her house. She could go pop herself some more popcorn if she really wanted." Poor friend of mine. Maybe she didn't notice my greedy behavior that night.
Case #2
This weekend my in-laws came up to see us. We had a good time with them. They bought sausages and hot links to cook out on the grill, but because I'm not a big fan of them, they bought some hamburgers for me. They ended up grilling 7 hamburgers (for me). Later the next day, when my mom-in-law made herself one of MY hamburgers, my first thought was, "What?!! Those are mine! I might need to eat those - all 7 of them!" Then I calmed myself down with the thought that there's no way I would want to eat 7 hamburgers in a row - I'll be sick of them way before then. I kept my mouth shut and later when my dad-in-law made himself one too. I confessed my greedy thoughts later to her and made her laugh.
So maybe that will fade with time. I think my food aversions are getting better. I was able to eat fried chicken today for the first time in 7 weeks.

Awww...poor hungry Amanda! I'll make sure we get two of everything when I see you so that you are well equipped! Love ya!
Hang in there! :) I'm glad you were able to eat chicken again. I guess I have had problems with not wanting too much meat in general but it is getting better.
really? i crave meat - beef especially. i think its the iron i want.
Mandie - you are so funny! I didn't think you had it in you to be greedy - guess pregnancy does strange things to us women! You keep on eating - I am so thankful you feel hungry and can keep stuff down! Glad you can eat chicken again too!
