Aibu to think that I can lose weight while pregnant?
I have spectacularly failed to lose the 3 stones I put on while pregnant/bf my baby. Who is now a toddler.
It's mainly cake. Shameful.
I've just discovered I'm pregnant again (hurrah!) and wondered if I can lose weight during my pregnancy? Anyone managed it? Am I insane? Thing is, I'm going to have to watch myself because I can't let myself put ON any more weight.... I'm huge. Well, not enormous, but a 16/18 which feels huge because I was a 10 pre babies.
So I wondered whether I could eat VERY healthily and eat plenty of good fresh food. As much fruit and veg as I can. Protein and dairy at least twice a day. Sensible carbs (brown rice and jacket potatoes, not cake and crisps).
And lose 1 lb a week? Ish? I'm 13 stone. I'd like to be no more than 11.7 when I'm full term (pre birth).
It's party vanity but also for my own health and my unborn baby's health. And tbh I'm pretty miserable still wearing maternity clothes. Haven't worn my normal clothes for nearly 2 years now and I feel a bit lost really.
So, am I barking or can it be done?!
