That's seemingly used pregnancy as a reason to eat junk all the time?

Just that really. Before getting pregnant I was relatively active and ate healthy-ish. I'm now 20 weeks and since finding out I was pregnant all I have done is eat, eat, eat. I just feel so flabby now - I know some of my stomach will be baby but my upper arms, bum and hips have just grown and I know it's all my fault. And don't get me started on my fat back 🤦‍♀️

Oh how I wish I was one of those people that look exactly the same as they did before they were pregnant but just with a bump 🙄

Just feeling a little shit about myself after going clothes shopping today so just having a moan - sorry!!!

I made this mistake in my first pregnancy and 13 months later I'm still 1.5st heavier than I was pre-pregnancy!

I'm also 5 weeks pregnant with baby no2 so no chance of shifting it anytime soon! As soon as I found out I promised myself I'd have more self control this time but I've just polished of a share size bag of crisps 🙈

Yep. To be fair I'm 39 weeks, but I'm currently 3.5 stones heavier than before I got pregnant. With my first pregnancy I only gained just over a stone. Not sure what's wrong with me but I seem to have lost all sense of self control around food! Keep telling myself I'll stop once the baby is here...
