A complete meltdown today! Advice?

Question

Over the past 2 years I nearly lost 60 lbs. The past 2 weeks since I saw a BFP I have ate completely horrible! So today I had an emotional breakdown to my husband about how I am scared to gain weight, and I am concerned that I will gain all that weight back. I am still considered overweight and can only gained up to 20 lbs if that. This is all mental for me, but I am scared of seeing that scale go up because of how hard it was to lose the weight! Any advice ladies? I had to vent. I have already gained close to 5 lbs and I'm 6w1d! 😢

Answer

Eat healthy and try not to worry. You are blessed to be with child! Happy healthy Momma gives your baby every chance to be healthy. If you gain 23 lbs instead of 20 who cares! Just eat healthy and stay on the move daily and enjoy this time in your life :) :)

Answer

What I am wondering - did you gain weight because you are feeling hungry more often or because all of this stresses you out, and therefore you make (from your point of view) bad nutrition choices? 
I think that it is important to know the difference between the two and try to make healthy choices as much as you can. Not necessarily to minimize weight gain, but to give your body (and therefore your little bean) all it needs.  But also, stay active and be kind to yourself :)
There is a book you might enjoy reading, it's called Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth. It's not a religious book, nor has it anything to do with pregnancy but it deals with food on an emotional level.

Answer

My advice is to eat healthy and exercise. You will see weight gain, I mean your growing a human 😉, and it may be more than you want but you can lose it again. Very few people don't gain weight, I wish I was one of them lol. But remember you'll drop a some weight the day of birth and then over the next several weeks, although you may end up with more to lose after that at least you have your tiny baby. If you start struggling too much talk to your doctor or meet with a counselor to help you get through it.

Answer

A lot of that is bloating. Try to eat small meals and snacks. Obviously we all slip up and have cravings :) try not to stress ♡
