I need some reassurance, please....

I suffered from anorexia for several years and while I have been physically recovered for 3.5 years, I still calorie count. Since I've found out I was pregnant I've been consistently eating 1500-2000 healthy calories per day. DH and I are planning to go to the local drive-in for dinner and I REALLY want a burger and onion rings, but my head is freaking over the calories involved. I 'know' it's totally fine to do, but I need to hear it from someone else. Thanks.

It's fine, really!! You need the calories right now. I'm so proud of you for overcoming the anorexia. I know that is no small thing. Way to go!!!! Now go enjoy your dinner!!

Yes you need more calories pregnant than you would normally. And it seems like you eat SO healthy otherwise a good splurge is well deserved! I mean its not like you would eat that everyday for every meal

Thanks, ladies - I needed that! We're heading there now and I can't wait to dig in

 

[Heather9603]

Hope you and baby both enjoy!

Okay, that was ridiculously good! Thanks for helping me out
