Weigh In Day! (A day late!)

I am 18 weeks pregnant today and I am down a total of 2 pounds since I found out I was pregnant.  My weight seems to go up a pound, down two, up two, down one... has anyone else had this.  I go for my "high risk" ultra sound on March 18th, I am so excited.  I went when I was 14 weeks to check growth.  We have been hoping of a healthy little boy... and they said at 14 weeks looks like a boy or could still be a tail...LOL, I almost rolled of the table laughing!! When did your appetite seem to pick up?  Seems like the last two weeks I  just can't eat enough... 

 

Yep - happened to me too. I lost 15 pounds in the first tri, gained it back (in 1-2 pound a week incriment) in the 2nd and now I am up just a few pounds at almost 30 weeks. Just today I was told I need to start eating even more.

Great job ladies! And YES anyone can join in!!

 Okay...hope ya'll are sitting when you read this.....




114 pounds....WTH????

LOL

Okay, I must admit...freaking here a bit...frigging warped body image complex...I hate it.  I am wearing a size 2-3 jeans and feel so fat..uggg...I really need encouraged to keep eating..cuzzzzzzzzzzz I am freaking out right now.  Yanno...I have gained over 30 pounds since May...and I know I looked sickly in my head...but honestly..I really thought..thank God I am finally skinny....even though I was so sick...I can't explain it...I just need the encouragement of I am not fat I am just right...ARRRRRRRRRRRR  I hope I can do this....I have wanted this for so long and now I am over 110 pounds...and now I don't want it..LOL  Go figure.  My hubby and my girls have all commented that I actually have a booty and some boobies...I guess I do not look like a 10 year old boy anymore..lol  I need to be reminded that 00 and 0 are not sizes...they are ridiculous and for 12 year old girls...not 39 year old women.

So really...this is a good post...I just do not want to ever be fat again!!!  I must maintain and not gain anymore :)

I think that 114 is GREAT! I am sure that you look healthy and beautiful. Now just maintain it!  I know that the mental "I'm gaining" is really hard though.

*hugs*

Thanks Liz,

I know I look good and healthy.  My mind just has to catch up with my body.  I can now "sort of" understand what you all go through with being pregnant and NEEDING to gain weight.  We are in such a mind set of lose...lose...lose that to change that is very difficult.  We are all used to seeing that scale go DOWN and for it to go up is a VERY scary thing.  We have all worked so hard to lose the weight we have lost that we never want to gain any of it back...not even 1 ounce.  I am trying to remind myself that 112 to 115 is where I felt fantastic and as if I could conquer the world.  90 pounds I laid in bed and did nothing.  What I need to do is go out and buy some new clothes that are not size 00 or 0...that are the appropriate size for me..whether it is a 2, 3, 5..whatever..so that when I put them on..I do not feel like I am trying to squeeze a fat body into a normal size of jeans...because that is how I feel right now.  Thank you so much for your words of encouragement...you are always great :)  

I think some shopping therapy is in order today or tomorrow (depending on how long it takes the repair man to fix my refrigerator)...then I will feel better ;) 

I honestly am going to try to maintain anywhere from 110-115..if I go above 115...then I will have to reevaluate my eating habits so as to not let it get out of control...if I weigh 115 pounds I will have gained 33 pounds since May...absolutely mind boggling!!!!

Have a great day :)  Keep doing an awesome job growing that baby :)

Retail therapy sounds like the perfect solution! Clothes that fit great always make us feel better!

Thanks :) We are chugging right along!
