How healthy are your diets? Mine is rubbish!

BLC34 · Apr 7th, 2012, 08:45 AM

I've always been conscious about what I eat & just before I found out I was pregnant I'd been doing slimming world & went from a uk 12 to an 8. I was more than happy eating healthy food & very disciplined.

With my previous two pregnancies that sadly ended in mc, I always went nuts with healthy eating. Nothing passed my lips if it wasn't good for baby.

This time however I just can't do it. All I want to eat is chocolate, cake, fast food, sugary cereal- basically unhealthy food. I cant face eating veg or salad & have to really force myself to eat a couple of bits of fruit everyday. It's not cos I feel sick or anything, I just don't fancy healthy food, I'd rather have nothing! subsequently I've put two stone on already but that doesn't bother me as much. I worry about my baby!

Is this really bad? Is anyone else out there eating crap?? Don't get me wrong I do eat veg but just not as often as I think I should.

Dont worry hun, just get some of those pregnicare tablets so that you are getting all your vits and nutrients

I'm exactly the same! Well I can't face anything except cereal & sandwiches. I can eat fruit but I'd much rather crisps and sweeties! I can't stomach the thought of home cooking -yuck!- I'd much rather eat out!!

My diet sucks. I eat crap at least once a day. In fact, i just devoured a whole easter egg and now I feel sick but I know for a fact Ill eat more crap later on tonight whilst watching telly. My OH makes me eat a proper home cooked dinner so I do get some veggies and I try and have an apple every day but ice cream, crisps and chocolate are part of my daily routine.

i eat crap mostly. I did good starting out but now I go out to eat at least once a day for junk food and god forbid sweets are anywhere near me cause i will devour thm as well!

I craved fruit for about 2 weeks! Now i cant even look at it, my diets been crap for example yesterday i had 2 grilled bacon sandwiches with white bread and loads of butter, for lunch i had a greggs chicken mayo sub roll, packet of crisp and a chocolate doughnut and for dinner chicken and vege big soup (my latest craving! which isnt too bad!) then two slices of homemade strawberry cake and clotted cream

I havent put on any weight as of yet infact i've lost a stone and i dont know how!

My diet itself isn't that bad but I do worry that I'm not eating enough.

I know I'm eating less than I did before I got pregnant and I haven't actually put on any weight yet

in fact I've lost a stone and a half.

The only thing that makes me feel better is that I do eat what I fancy and I eat when I'm hungry, until I'm full So I s'pose that if the baby needed more, I'd know right?

I've been trying very hard to be good! It just doesn't do my guts any good if I eat rubbish but it's what I crave. Right now I'd love a Chinese takeaway but I'm munching an apple and probably having pasta and veggies for dinner. It feels such an effort to eat healthy. I want crisps!

i have been eating really healthy but have been having treats a few times a week which I always feel a bit bad for. Yesterday it was a Tim Hortons Honey Cruller Donut! DELIGHTFUL! I usually eat well but I am am more conscious about what I eat and I really DONT want to put on tons of weight!!!!!

HolliMummy2B · Apr 7th, 2012, 11:30 AM
