Do you give in to your cravings

Question

Due to gaining way too fast my first trimester, Ive been eating very healthy trying to slow down the weight gain. I eat very few carbs and sweets. I have cravings but refuse to give into them. I've literally wanted a doughnut for months now. LOL Do you guys give in to your cravings every time, every now and then or never?

Answer

So far I have given in most of the time, but I'm going to start reining myself in and eating better. This is partly because I want to keep the weight gain healthy but mainly because I don't want to build these habits once I'm no longer pregnant and adversely affect my health. I want a healthy heart and clear arteries!

Answer

You need carbohydrates! 😨 That's what your body uses for energy! Carbs don't fatten, fat and yeast do. 
Your body is supposed to pack on fat when pregnant though, it doesn't have to do with your diet. It's more to do with hormone/chemical changes and your genetics. 
I treat my cravings like dessert (if it's a non-healthy craving), as a small amount in ratio to my healthy meals, but a treat that I deserve every now and then ;) 🍩 Also, a single doughnut won't add to your weight or any bad health. Especially if you're eating so much leafy green veggies, it will flush out. :)

Answer

I give in too much. That's why I've gained 16 pounds at 28.4 weeks. Eek!

Answer

Yes all The gotdam time .. Its like i turn into a mean bitch if i dont Get It

Answer

I'm 35+2 and have only gained 3lbs so far, so I feel ok about indulging. I do try to resist my cravings for potato chips for as long as possible though bc I'm worried eating too much salt.

Answer

I give in if it is fruit or veggies, of course. But as far as junk goes, I try to fight it. For a while I was eating French fries or potato chips "as a treat" but realized I was having those treats more than once a week. 
The other night I wanted a peanut butter cup, and my so was about to go get me one, but I told him not to cater to my junk cravings :) 
Also, magnesium REALLY helps with sugar cravings (and constipation, if you drink enough water). I totally recommend it.

Answer

I try to have smaller portions like I would share a doughnut with my husband not to control weight gain(put on 9lbs@ 31w)but cuz it's not the healthiest choice. There are times where I give in though 😁

Answer

My weight is on track so I eat pretty much whatever I want.

Answer

I give in pretty much every time. And I've gained a lot of weight because of it. I wish I hadn't been the way I have this pregnancy. I'm 41 weeks today, and the moment I have her, I am going back to eating the way should have been eating this whole time. And being active as well! I have in to my craving for sleep and laziness wayyyy too much!

Answer

Oh, I've been wanting a donut sooo bad! But I haven't given in yet. But I know it's only a matter of time. 😋
