Food to me is always a form of therapy. I will eat my favourite laksa when feeling down or bake my own cheesy portobello mushroom when I feel like indulging. For now, my "love hate affair" with food is making me cranky and frustrated.
I've received comments from people saying how fortunate I am that I could still eat and not throw up my food. But call me "ungrateful" or greedy, there are so much food that I missed terribly and couldn't wait to sink my teeth into them and have the whole serving for myself...than to watch my hubby finishes all of them in glee.
As I was lying in bed for the whole of Sat, moaning and groaning as my stomach threatens to throw up whatever food I had, I was feeling really upset. I had no mood for family meals even though there is an unspoken rule that we must have family dinner with both sides at least once a week. So I took the opportunity to gorge myself with comfort food (super-cheesy pasta from Kenny Rogers) for my Sat lunch with in-laws. After all, I had to drag my feet out of the house, so I thought I might as well make the best out of it...of course,I had my pay-back time after that.
Later in the day,my kind brother tried to distract me by sharing some interesting encounters over dinner.That really helped me finish my bowl of rice and veg which was very,very rare.
As I start my count-down to the end of the first trimester, I really look forward to my "pig-out" day this Sat. Yes, I heading for a tim sum session with my JMs. I hope they can "hold me back" before I "wipe out" the food from the kitchen...

My dear Kang Hsien, i hate to have to tell you this but the bad news is that the nauseousness sometimes doesn't stop at the end of first trimester but one month into 2nd trimester ie 4th month of pregnancy.
Some unfortunate mothers-to-be even experience that in their last trimester.
Will pray for you. I understand fully how shitty the feeling is.
