Hi ladies, haven't been here for a while. Is anyone struggling with pregnancy weight gain? Everytime I see the number increase I freak out, big time. Not sure what to do but it's really stressing me out xx Sorry to be a downer xx
Always have. This is my 6th child and just as with the others I dread stepping on that scale! I get so mad at myself when I gain 4 lbs in 4 weeks and i'm not even half way yet. Pounds go on real easy when you're pregnant. I guess the only way to not put on as much weight is to not take pregnancy as an excuse to eat "for two" when we really only need and extra 300 calories a day. Chose the calories wisely. I have fallen off my Paleo diet to some extent, and crave brownies, cheese, and granola. I'm not a soda drinker so it's still healthy stuff there. It's those stupid kid's school snacks calling my name from the corner of my room (kept in my room only so they remain kid's school snacks and don't get devoured. Unfortunately I am a culprit of dipping into the stash now )
For the most part it is fruits, veggies, nuts, and meat (chicken, pork, fish) for me. I drink water, almond milk, OJ, and decaf tea. OBGYN appt in 8 days. stupid scaleis going to get a swift kick I think
