Also feeling hormonal again these past few weeks which is no doubt not helping.
But I'm just feeling sad and frustrated about weight gain. Before I got pregnant I had about 3 stone to lose, having lost 3 (albeit put it back on and lost it a few times over the past couple of years). I was making headway with my weight for once not through fad dieting. Just cooking from scratch / eating better and it was coming off slowly but surely.
I had wanted to lose the weight prior to getting pregnant but it didn't happen that way and we are where we are. So I started at 13.11 with a BMI of 32.
For my BMI I should have gained between 11-20lbs. But I'm already at 23. And I can't stop eating. I'm a vegetarian and used to eat very healthily but in pregnancy food aversions have meant I'm eating bland carby foods all the time like pasta and potato.
I have 9 weeks left to go and so it stands to reason I'll obviously be gaining more weight, even if I ate well at this stage due to it being the third trimester.
I'm dreading how I'm going to feel afterwards. I've actually been enjoying my bump and wearing tight clothes I wouldn't have dreamed of wearing in the past 10 years. When baby is here I know my stomach area which is the bit I'm most self conscious about will be a lot worse.
I'm trying to tell myself it's pointless dwelling on my pre-pregnancy weight as I wasn't happy then either and there's little I can do about it now, but still I'm scared to soon be heavier than I've ever been before (even if it is only for a few weeks).
I'm trying to eat better but I'm anaemic so constipated, feel sick today and always shattered. Always hungry but never know what I want to eat. Just frustrated with it.
Not sure what the point of this is, just wondering if anyone else is feeling the same?
