Strawberries, Anyone?

Before becoming pregnant and during the early stages of pregnancy I often heard people talk about foods that they used to LOVE that they no long could stomach the thought of.  I didn't get it.  How could you all of a sudden just think that a certain food you had always loved was gross?

Well, I officially get it.  

Example #1:  Chinese food.  The thought of Chinese food makes my stomach turn.  I have pushed through and eaten it once.  While it didn't make me sick, the effort it took to actually eat a meals-worth of food was just not worth it.

Example #2:  Strawberries.  Perusing the fruits and veggies at the store several weeks ago, I was surprised to find that strawberries totally gross me out.  I used to buy them every week whether they were in season or not.  Now I steer the cart clear of the display.

Other examples (including foods that literally make me sick):  Yogurt, fruit juice, greasy foods, fried foods, eggs, and salad (I think the greens are what make it so unappetizing).

I have become a somewhat picky eater.  I'm hoping that it all goes away after pregnancy because I don't like being so high maintenance.  :)
