Reverting Back to the Beginning

I've noticed a trend the last few weeks of this trimester: I'm reverting back to old ways. I am taking naps as often as I did in my first trimester and my cravings have definitely come back with a vengeance! Chocolate is the culprit right now for me. I crave chocolate all the time!!

I want a GREAT BIG CHOCOLATE CAKE like this:

and this (Red Velvet is always a winner)

but I'd settle for just a nice big slice of this:

But I am also well aware that I am at the edge of my weight allowance for pregnancy (Dr. said 25 to 35 and I'm trying my hardest to obey), so I try substitution chocolate that is low-fat, low-sugar.

Currently, we have Fudgesickles (no fat, 40 cal)

and dark chocolate Mousse Temptations (60 cal, no sugar)

and Cocoa Puffs (fortified whole grain cereal, can't be too bad for me!)

These substitutions work for the most part, but I still have the image of chocolate cake in the back of my mind. And, on a trip to the grocery store, I broke down a little and we also have Dove chocolates in the fridge....

And these delicious Chocolate covered Fudge Graham Cracker cookies (for only $1.00! Not low fat and not sugar free)

Yep, I'm a total Chocoholic right now, but I've been surprisingly dilligent in not obeying my sugar cravings. I have an occasional cup of Cocoa Puffs or a Dove chocolate, but I have not broken down and devoured a cake. Devilish cravings!! I can't wait for baby to be here and get back to my normal healthy eating!! Ah, the joys of pregnancy!
