Hi ladies,
I'm new here and this is my first post (yay!!) I'm 16 weeks pregnant today and cannot stop eating! I'm a pig! I have always had a big appetite and have managed to get away with it staying at about a size 10/12. But since being pregnant I have put on loads of weight! I was a 30e-24-38 and am now a 32ff-24-42!! My boobs, hips, and bum have ballooned and my bump is ma-hoosive considering how far along I am. So, what I want to know is what you mums-to-be are eating and how this has changed from your usual diet? My friend told me that really I don't need that many extra calories now that I'm pregnant.
This was what I ate today:
B'fast: 1/2 pink grapefruit; Bowl of porridge made with 180ml semi-skimmed milk + 30g of dark chocolate peanut butter; cup of coffee with milk and 2x tsp brown sugar; cup of tea (no sugar in my teas).
Post-workout snack: 1x pear; 1x whey protein shake with water.
11 o'clock: 4x lotus biscuits; cup of tea.
Lunch: Honey salmon toasted sandwich (using brown bread and olive spread) with Baby leaf salad; Blueberry Danio yoghurt; 2x Freddos; cup of tea.
Then went to cinema with DH as it's day off and shared with him: Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice-cream (1/2 tub), a packet of Haribo Supermix (I ate all the green and purple jelly babies and all the milk bottles as these are my fave haha! so 1/3 of a bag approx); can of Diet Coke.
At home, another cup of tea.
Late-ish dinner: Lamb Shank in red wine sauce, with 6x rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, and peas!! Usually my dinners are a bit healthier than this put still huge portions.
Dessert: about 20 black frozen grapes.
Now eating a small bag of Percy Pigs!! OINK OINK indeed!
This is what I've been eating like most days for about 12 weeks now! Help!!!
Kellie
