Feeling fat & looking for lunch ideas
Someone at work today told me I'm starting to show... I think I've just been eating bad and am starting to get fat 
I don't do well on planning ahead and packing a lunch for work. So I eat food out too much and I know that's not good. I used to make sandwiches for lunch, but now since I don't want to worry about Listeria, I don't make & bring them anymore...
So looking for some ideas on what I can pack for lunch, and if anyone has any tips on not just feeling like I'm turning into a blob, rather than being pregnant.... I'm only 16 weeks, so I wouldn't think I should show yet, but this is my 2nd child (he's 10) so that might make a difference, but still...
Thanks!!

I'm sorry I don't have any good lunch food ideas...for me, I am literally eating every time I turn around.
If I don't, I feel so sick and sharp pains and stuff. I find it easier to just eat.
However, I did want to say, this is my 2nd and by week 4 I was already up 4 sizes. I am 15 weeks and I am definitely in maternity clothes and showing (see profile pic).
I wouldn't worry about showing. It's part of post WLS and not being your first pregnancy.
Embrace it, find healthy snacks and good luck with lunches. It will be fine :-)

If you're really worried about Listeria in lunchmeat (you have a better chance of being hit by lightening...) you can alway pop your snadwich in the microwave for a few second until the meat is steaming and then it's "safe" to consume. This works really well for warm roast beef sandwiches and turkey melts.
Some other options are low sodium canned soups (Progresso makes some really good ones with tons of veggies), PB&J (PB is excellent for healthy fats and protein), hummus and whole wheat pita.
This is my second pregnancy also (following twins) and I know I showed way sooner this time than I did with my girls. By 14 weeks I had an obvious pregnant bump. I still haven't gained any weight this pregnancy and my belly is *very* obvious now... I even had a few random strangers ask if I was carrying twins.
