Anyone else fear being fat?

Question

Anyone else fear gaining way too much weight but have a hard time sticking to a workout and decent diet?? I'm terrified of gaining 80 lbs when I only need to gain 25 yet just this week alone I've eaten in n out, del taco, pizza, and haven't stuck to my workout plan.

Answer

Me! I was bit overweight to start. The doctor told me I can gain uo to 15-25, but I don't want even gain that. I've been eating the same amount. I haven't ate more, but I know that Pregnancy slows down your metabolism. I have gained 7 lbs so far. Way more than I wanted ! I'm only 16+4 days. 😭

Answer

Me. I'm a little on the shorter end and prior to getting pregnant I was on a diet and lost 10-15 lbs. I had surgery early last year which resulted in me gaining weight. Then I lost another 15 lbs in my first trimester and my doctor only wants me to gain 11-15 lbs total. I weighed 185 when she told me that at 10 weeks. Now at 18 and I weigh 187-188. I worry all the time that I'll be fat. My mom gained 30 lbs with my brother and myself. But I try not to eat too much. So far it's been working but the baby is also helping becausebhes very picky at what he wants to eat.

Answer

That's been a fear of mine too, I was always little and never had to workout to get rid of fat. I was very body insecure, so with my first pregnancy I didn't step on a scale unless I was at the doctors. And my husband was very supportive and encouraging and loving the whole time, I gained 48 pounds! I didn't lose all my baby weight either, I was still 10 pounds over my pre pregnant weight. Now I'm pregnant with number two and I'm confident enough to know it's okay if I gain a lot of weight, it's only temporary and worth it for your little baby! Just try to eat healthy, I don't buy unhealthy items (mainly lol) so I'm forced to eat healthy lol

Answer

I am. This is my 6th baby. I have a two yr old and a 3 yr old at home. The weather hasnt been exactly the best and my husband works nights so its hard for me to do any walking. Been trying to lose weight as I gain. With being in the second trimester, its hard because they always want you to gain and not lose. But I eat fruit and veggies every day and cut back on sweets and eating out. Its hard becuase sometimes I just dont feel like cooking and it would be easier to go out. But I just gotta remember that its cheaper and healthier to cook at home then to go out and feed my 5 kids, my husband, and myself.

Answer

I'm with you!!  I weight more right now then I ever have and I'm only halfway done!  Nothing healthy ever sounds good, it's always chick fila and Taco Bell and cupcakes and candy that I want. Where's my self control?!?!
