Disappointed with my diet

[Buzzie]

Cherished - i was SO sick with DS i ate hungry jacks for 2 weeks straight cos it was the only thing i could get in my mouth at one point!! I put on 20kgs ish by the end of the pregnancy but after lost more that i started with so i dont think worring about weight at this point really matters.. more so after bubs... Just try to eat as healthly as you can and it will make you feel better in your mind but worst case, just make sure u keep taking vitamins and then you know ur helping bub out there!!

I totally agree I am watching my weight as well, as I lost 30kg prior to getting pregnant I want to be healthy during pregnancy so at the end I dont have 20KG to loose..

Yes I will have a baby in the end but the baby also needs a healthy mum!

Cherished,

I am eating terrible too - bread, chips, biscuits - it seems all I can keep down. I look at a salad or meat and my stomach just turns. You think I'd be wanting the healthy stuff, but no...

good luck!

Hey Cherished! Keep up the gentle exercise as it will help you to feel in shape and encourage you to keep up the healthy food as well. Keep lots of healthy yummy options (like mangos) on hand to help combat when you feel too tired to make anything healthy up.

Aaaw Cherished1, I know exactly how you feel . I've been missing the weight loss thread not for the weightloss but because it helped keep me focussed on eating well.

With my last PG I ate whatever I wanted until I got GD (ended up on insulin) and then suddenly had to rein it in in a major way. This time I'm so determined to keep exercising (a walk each day) and to eat well (obviously I've got some incentive to avoid GD again!). I'm finding when I do it, I feel better, I have more energy and I feel better about myself. But boy, on my bad days I've spent some serious time beating myself up!!

So I can understand that you don't want to put back everything you worked so hard to lose. I think there's a middle ground - PG doesn't need to be a total free-for-all - but more just looking after yourself and bubs and feeling good. So don't beat yourself up, we all have our good and bad weeks, just focus forward on what you wanna do (and do it when you can). You're a strong determined chickie and you know you can do it. We can be a preggie healthy eating group and good on you for posting and getting yourself on track!
