Food struggles
Hi moms! I’m 15.5 weeks and have finally started to feel better, not nauseas all the time anymore, yay! In the beginning all I wanted was carbs and the occasional sweet treat. Now that I’m feeling better I’m exercising more, and eating more balanced, which is great.
But I’m struggling with the way my husband is commenting about the foods I’m eating ... (context: pre pregnancy we were both doing a low carb diet and holding each other accountable, he’s still doing it but I obviously am not). I’m struggling finding appealing things to eat for lunch, as pre pregnancy my go to would be a wrap with deli meat. I may be making some “bad” choices but I feel like I’m doing it in moderation, a couple Oreos when I’m craving something sweet, or a fun size piece of candy. His comments about my choices are really making me feel judged and insecure. I talked about it with him and it went well eventually, and he said he will stop making the comments, but I still feel a bit self conscious and insecure. His point is that he wants me and baby to be healthy, which of course I want too! I just feel like some sweet treats here and there are my only vice right now! I also feel like as women society puts so much pressure on us to be thin and this is the only time I’ll be able to have a little more freedom, as I expect after having the baby I’m going to be working my butt off to loose the baby weight 😕 Anyone else dealing with something similar??
