From what I've experienced so far, food is no longer my friend. Now, that's a good thing in my ways, being overweight already brings many challenges, and with food not being my friend, that can only be a good thing. But, seeing as I'm vegetarian, it throws me a bit of a curve ball.
Foods I used to love like quorn escalopes (they make me want to hurl just thinking about them now!), cheese, tea, coffee, bread... all make me feel horrid. Whereas I used to love rich food, like dauphinoise potatoes (ermergherd!) now make me feel sick. Garlic... not something I like anymore either...
My diet is pretty limited to very simple and plain food now. A typical working day for me looks like:
Breakfast - Oatso simple porridge
11am snack - grapes
Lunch - Plain jacket potato with butter, and a side salad
Afternoon snack - grapes
Dinner - Plain jacket potatoes
Drinks throughout the day - apple & mango squash, mineral water and sometimes a cup of tea
So my diet isn't bad per se, but I'm not getting all the nutrients I need either, and in typical Irish fashion, my diet is full of potato! The idea of eating most veg makes me feel sick, so I'm a little stumped.
What I wonder, is this just an early pregnancy thing, or has pregnancy changed my tastes for good?

I feel your pain, pregnancy really made me ill and I hated just about everything... It definitely comes back after just don't eat anything you love now because if it makes you sick you might never like it again ( I still don't touch blueberry muffins a year later)

Thanks for the tip Rosy, I'll try and avoid foods I really like that are making me feel ill, I'd hate to think of never having them again!
