As you know from a previous post I'm having issues with my distorted thinking... one minute I'm feeling great about how I look and the next minute I think I'm looking more like a whale than a human being. These past few days I'm feeling overly bloated and overly fat... but I'm instantly amazed when I step on the scale and I'm DOWN in weight. It's beyond me. I've now lost a little over 10 lbs since I found out about the baby... and I'm at exactly 175- which is where I wanted to stop. Not that I feel like I have much control over that. The problem is that I'm not eating enough of the right foods- high in protein and high in calories. I need to get that figured out- but I think by the time I figure out how to eat right the baby will be here. All the wrong foods are sounding good and tasting good. As I type this my mouth is watering thinking of taco bell... and it's not even 10 a.m.! On top of it being too early to eat taco bell, taco bell really isn't the best meal choice. Why can't my body be craving grilled chicken breast with whole grain rice and a side of broccoli? Ick. I try every single night to eat a "good for me" type of meal... and every single night I end up on the couch feeling like I'm going to barf. Yet I can eat cereal, peanut butter sandwiches and granola bars and feel fine. This child has it in for me.
My only prayer is that when I have the baby I am able to go back to healthier eating habits.
Anyways, I can't complain (too much)- we're all healthy, and really that's all a mom can ever ask for.

I think that it's a hard struggle. You've worked so hard and certainly don't want to loose all that. I'm sure that you'll get right back on track when the baby gets here!
I am with you on the up and down body issues! I feel so self conscious about taking up space. Then the next day I'll be all big and badass and feeling confident. Ah, well. At least we're aware of it while we're doing it and we're trying to take care of ourselves. Great blog by the way!
