NO willpower

[AmyR]

I have been eating SO bad...huge portions, junk food etc...my drive to do better is dissapeared. I amk putting on weight fast but I CANT seem to control myself. I only wanted to eat healthy and keep active for the baby and me..

Anyone else having trouble?? The thought of a salad makes me not want to eat anything..but I use to be SO good with food, all clean and healthy eating only.

I am doing HORRENDOUS with my eating! I can't stop reaching for candy and dessert. I would happily have pie for dinner and then another slice for dessert.



I was so determined to "be good" throughout this pregnancy, and I am just... not.

Even though I've been enjoying the break from it, I'm half tempted to pull out my food journal again and start recording what I eat again. I was going to wait until after the birth, but... I mean... at this rate, I'm going to put on another 30lbs in the next 10 weeks!

i have the same problem. i haven't been too worried about it yet

As soon as I hit 33 weeks all the healthy eating seemed to go down the toilet! I wake up at four and have two bowls of cereal, always snacking... I'm absolutely starving 24/7 and I want sweet stuff and cheesy stuff all the time!!

I did wonderful my first two trimesters. Now I'm gaining HORRIBLY. I've gained 7 lbs in the past two weeks. 4 the two weeks before that. 5 the two weeks before that. Now I'm at my weekly appointments. I'm so huge I feel like im gonna fall forward on my face.

Me too, once third tri hit all the rules went put the window, now I can't stop eating and never seem to get full... And fruits and veggies just dont cut it

Me too! I was determined to be good so I didnt have too much weight to lose after but Im constantly hungry and I dont want healthy things!x

Can totally relate to this, I craved veggies in the 1st and second tri, now all I want is McDonalds and KFC constantly, not that I've had them often, I think if we had a car on the road I probably would though!

I've been the same all the way through. I'm constantly hungry and nothing seems to fill me up i try and eat healthy options, cereal, fruit etc but i've been craving biscuits soooo bad lately

 

[babyhopes2010]

iv been so good at healthy eating then i go and ruin it with junk food

 

[Ol1vertwist]

Yeah, same here - and now I have started to eat cereal in the middle of the night like another poster mentioned. The hunger pangs from 1st Trimester have come back.

I thought I would climb the stirs at work today and try and become more active in general, but it killed me, will keep trying tho, need to strengthen my legs somehow for all that squatting in labour coming up.

I was doing fab until week 34 when i just seemed to need to eat constantly! and nothing healthy! I was trying sooo hard as my growth scan at 32 weeks showed my baby just right for her gestation and i wanted to keep it that way, but then week 34 came along and i needed to eat constantly! at my growth scan on tuesday (36+2) everything but her tummy was measuring 36, her tummy was measuring 40!! (though she is still somehow in the lines and they were not bothered!) i thought that might kick start my healthy eating again, but it didnt, i ate crap again all yesterday! i really need to start living of veg! but with the shopping coming yesterday with biscuits and cookies and chocolate i dont think that will be happening! plus we have a party on saturday and i know im going to indulge there! sunday im 37 weeks, im going to really try be good for the last few weeks! xxxx
