Disappointed with my diet

[milly5]

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!
