I had an uncontrolable craving....
 
.... for pickles.... gerkhins to be exact. No I am not pregnant!!!


Any clues as to why? I am not a real big pickle fan, I didn't even crave them when I was pregnant.... i am alcohol free for 9 months eat pretty healthy most of the time,,, chocolate's healthy... right?

I ate 2 kerkknins a 2 B&B sices and I am good to go? hmmm

No idea, but you gave me a fright. Thinking about it I used have food cravings when I gave up cigs.

Pickles? Maybe it's a sodium related thing?

All I know is I'm craving Peeps but that's seasonal :).

It's usually chocolate... I guess pickles are better, less calories

I looooove garlic dill pickles. I use to crave them alot when I got home from being out for days.
I crave salty vinegar things sometimes. I dont know about healthier but they are good and so is chocolate. Dang..Gotta go get a pickle now.

At least in moderation pickles are good for you! It could be a lot worse, for a second I thought you were on the same wicked wave lenght as I was earlier today. I got out of that sticken thinking mind set as I was about to gobble up some poison(pain pills) which I have no control over when using them so I just need to stay away.

Listen to your body talk. There's something in pickles that your body needs. Pregnant women don't need the pickles and ice cream, they need the minerals. Are you taking a good multivitamin with minerals? I take Centrum Forte and I rarely get cravings, but that doesn't mean much 'cuz I'm a man.
