Disappointed with my diet

[Cherished]

I am really disappointed with my diet I am usually such a good eater, I lost 6.5 kg's before christmas and last time I checked I'd put back on 1.5kg. I was feeling great but after putting weight back on I am starting to get really down about it. I shudder to think what my weight will be at the end of my pregnancy if I gain at this rate. I know pregnancy is not a time to obsess over weight (I know I will gain) but I don't want to gain even more weight than necessary because I'm not eating well. An example of this bad eating is yesterday I ate an icecream and chips and today the same I can't even blame it on cravings because it wasn't, it was just lazy... I already feel tired and so overweight, my stomach is already looking 6 months pregnant I guess rather than complaining about it I should just start eating well again! I guess I'm posting to hold myself accountable to pick up my act!

Skybie my love thanks the words of encouragement...

I think many people might read the word 'diet' as me meaning 'weight loss' I used the word diet meaning that I am not happy with the unhealthy food choices I have made, and I don't think it's ok or healthy to eat junk food just because I am pregnant because it's not a nutritious way to live or healthy to feed the baby crap That is what I meant by the word diet... I am not trying to loose weight by dieting while pregnant... Just thought I'd clarify that in case anyone reading thinks I'm a nut job.

I am totally with you there with the eating habits. I lost 9kgs before i fell pregnant and had plans of losing another 10kgs before TTC. For 2 weeks straight i ate a block of chocolate a night, one whole one a night but then i spent the next 3 weeks unable to hold down anything so i think i evened myself out. I havent been REALLY unhealthy but could choose healthier options sometimes. I do think i will be a ten tonne tessy at the end of this pregnancy. But i dont want to obsess over my wieght so i will choose not to be weighed at all.

dont stress over it too much.

Cherished, you are gonna be just a gorgeous pregnant chick! You might be surprised that once you get through the early stage of pregnancy you will have more energy to prepare foods that are better for you. Dont hold me accountable to that though, I started throwing up by your stage and was already on a drip and medication

I do understand the feeling so down about feeling the diet is not the best for your baby, my diet sucked because I often never ate for days on end and then when something would stay down it was a single apple that had to last till I could eat again! Your little bub will take everything it needs without a second thought- little buggers they are

Enjoy every second of your pregnancy hun, it truely is an amazing journey you are on and you can always take a little time to spoil yourself before getting back on the fruit and veg wagon
