OMG I'm getting so flippin' fat - tell me it will go afterwards!

I'm 20 weeks and I've put on probably too much weight. My arse, thighs and upper arms are getting chunky. I was a size eight before this pregnancy but now I'm enormous. I'm trying to be accepting of it but I know I'm probably eating too much, but I'm so hungry!

I can cope with it a bit better if i feel that I will manage to lose it afterwards without having to diet for years. Help!

Weebairn thanks! That's a really useful plan. :) Yup. I an in the drop zine now ... just me and the curries and pineapples bouncing on a ball, minding our business...

I had my wobbly moment last week too Grin But I have come to realise that I can't do anything about my current weight gain until the baby's out. I am trying to limit my portion size though: I don't know for you but I don't eat between meals, barely buy any junk food... It's just my portions are so huge Blush

Bilbo I'm the opposite: really naughty. Huge sweet tooth (not like me at all... caused someone at work to guess before I told) since 10 weeks. Now nudging overdue and inhaling a decaff mocha.
If you're eating sensible food it's far better for you and FX will slide off after birth!

I'm 29 weeks and put on 17 lb so far and it's not all bump. My bum and thighs are huge but I can't stop eating like a pig! I normally put on 2.5-3 stone and loose it all eventually though I started this pregnancy a stone heavier which doesn't help.

Squizita don't get me wrong, I still like a treat once in a while Grin I am now telling myself that Friday is "naughty day". It helps me contain the sweet tooth Smile

ImBrian Bum and legs are huge too! And my boobs. They've doubled in size almost. Hopefully I will produce good milk!
