Firstly, it's not as bad as it sounds! I'm not about to go on a crash diet, or an intensive workout programme or anything irresponsible.
I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant yet, but I'm feeling so revolting right now, and while we are TTC, and I would love to be pg, am also feeling very guilty about not losing weight first!
I weight 130kg..that's unbelivable..even just typing that amount and knowing it's me..I'm trying not to look at the number. I'm quite depressed about it at the moment, and wondering, if I were to be pregnant (AF is 2 days late and due to odd events, I cannot get a HPT for another week), provided I was eating healthy, fresh foods and getting plenty of nutrients, and ensuring I was not actually 'going hungry', and kept my gym workouts to a gentle level, would weight loss during pregnancy still be alright?
I know I could just..forget about my weight and wait until after birth and recovery, but if possible, I'd really like to get into better shape, and more healthy asap.
I hope this has not come across as irresponsible and superficial, but I am so plagued by this right now, I need to feel like there's something I can do.
There is nothing wrong with eating healthy and excercising
I wasn't happy with my weight when I fell pregnant and due to MS and not wanting to eat I have lost roughly 6kgs since I have fallen pregnant. I have also been walking a lot more and eating healthier foods than I used to. I eat smaller meals more often now and usually have a few snacky things during the day like dry biscuits etc. Don't get me wrong... I still eat food and am not trying to not eat (if that made any sense) but I just take things a little slower now and don't eat HEAPS!
Speak to your GP about it first hun and I'm sure he/she will be able to give you some great advice
I agree on seeing your GP. My cousin was quite big when she got pregnant but I know overall she lost weight. It wasn't a problem for her OB or GP because it wasn't excessive and the babies growth was good. You need some advice based purely on your circumstances though. Good luck with the journey!
After posting this thread, I saw a similar one in the diet and weight loss section, and read that one also, and the lovely ladies there have said very similar things to you both, so I'm feeling a lot more settled and in control.
Once I get paid (always tight after Christmas), I'll buy a HPT and make a Dr's appointment...and begin preparing myself for the lecture about my weight and blood pressure.
