I've NC for this as I'm ashamed of what I'm doing.
I'm nearly 15 weeks pregnant with my very much wanted first baby.
I have a history of binge eating, bulimia and depression that I've generally overcome. I normally eat well, exercise moderately and feel good about myself. I'm not overweight, or underweight. I was doing very well. I don't feel depressed - I'm positive about life, about my relationship, about my baby (I hate work and can't wait to be on mat leave - not being mistreated at work, just really dislike my job).
However, since about 10 weeks I can't stop binge eating. I'm scared I'm hurting my baby, or going to get gestational diabetes. I'm not putting on a huge amount of weight - no weight gain in the first trimester, and now only about a 1lb a week since week 12. I'm still exercising, it's just my eating that is messed up. I think I'm struggling with the way my body is changing in the period before I get a proper bump. I feel flabby and gross.
I need to stop this. I need to get my control back. Has anyone been in this situation?
