anyone else feeling rubbish about weight gain?

Question

I was trying to lose weight before I fell pregnant and although I know I should be embracing my changing body, I'm feeling really fat and miserable. All I keep thinking about is how I'm going to lose the weight after the pregnancy, I'm only 8 weeks and feel huge!

Answer

I was trying to lose weight also. I thought I had about 3-6 months before I got pregnant again and I thought that would be plenty of time to lose the weight. I started to squeeze into smaller size jeans and was so happy about it, I  bought a few pairs. Now I'm stuck in my larger size jeans and am so disappointed. I have so many cute clothes that I want to wear and can't! ☹️

Answer

I'm 7 weeks and I feel that way too! I was just getting into a healthy eating and workout routine the week that I found out I was pregnant! I am super excited about my baby but the weight I'm gaining is so depressing and I'm afraid I won't be able to lose it after having my baby.

Answer

Feeling exactly the same! From August 2014 to January 2016 I had gained 50 pounds and was miserable. From January to May I had lost 35 pounds (healthily with a nutritionist and personal trainer). This summer, I continued working out and actually was training for my first half marathon (hadn't ran more than 5 miles since college in 2014). Now, the rude nurse I saw already told me I was overweight at my first appointment (3 weeks along), mind you I am 195 at 5'9", size 10/12.. BUT now I feel like I've gained like tons of weight and I really don't want to gain everything back! Also have zero energy to exercise... and can't exercise at the high intensity I was and not allowed to diet, so naturally am gaining weight with the lifestyle change. sorry long rant. Feeling frustrated going back to my clothes that once were too big!

Answer

I totally feel you, I actually went to the doctor three days before my missed period to get put on Adipex (for weight loss) and I was just waiting on my period to come. Sure enough it was late and bam BFP! I was like I guess this was meant to be. A complete surprise. I just have been trying to come up with a plan to reduce extra weight gain, eat three square meals & a snack & walk every day. That way at least I feel like I'm not stuck in the mud for 9 months. I would suggest focusing on healthy choices vs all the weight gain. As for the post baby weight, that's for another time to worry about. Be in the moment, relax and try Try TRY to stay positive.

Answer

I was losing weight before I got pregnant too. Had 20 more to go. Only thing I'm bummed about is that I didn't get to start the pregnancy with a flat stomach. I really wanted to be able to see everything change from baby, bloat and all. But if I didn't suck my stomach in, I looked 5 months pregnant, before even getting pregnant lol
