I have to make a confession that may not be a shock to some BUT I am addicted to my scale. I step on my scale twice a day (or more). That number is the most anxious thing I can think of... This being pregnant thing is killing me. So far I have not gained 1 pound (mostly due to morning sickness) but as that eases off, I find myself more and more anxious about maintaining a healthy body.
I know the scale is just a number but that number is already running my life. Goal Weight for this entire pregnancy is 158 with 35 pounds from pre pregnancy weight. My goal is closer to 140. It is going to be so hard to lose weight after the baby is born so my plan is not to gain much more than necessary for a healthy baby.

You'll be more than ok as long as you stay active and only eat when you're hungry, I'm almost 30 weeks and I've only gained 12 pounds. @b80andbabyasma

I have been on a strict limited exercise for months. Hopefully she will lift it Friday. I don't always listen but I know when I don't I have contractions. It's too soon for all that mess. Can't lose another one.

I'm just so upset guys. I worked my butt off for over a year and lost 60 pounds to get pregnant again. Just my luck. This was about a week before I got pregnant doing a crossfit competition. My friend took the picture.

Part of me feels bad about it but then again I don't. I am still trying to live by my diet (what I can eat) so that is helping. I can't wait until I can move again!

@ioanacartagena, I was diagnosed early with GD so I have strictly avoided sugar and carbs. I eat 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks a day and try to stay active. And I only drink water or milk. Drinking water soon as I get up with peppermint oil helps have energy and less appetite
ioanacartagena·
where do you buy peppermint oil? i have never heard of that! so interesting! @ella1007

@ioanacartagena, I get mine from young essential oils but you can buy it at health food stores or online. It also helps with heart burn
