31 weeks + 3 days & only gained 20 lbs ?! :D

When I got pregnant I was over weight weighing 220 lbs . The nutritionist said I could only gain 20 lbs throughout pregnancy , the obgyn I had at the time said I could only gain 15 lbs . In 3 weeks , from 3 weeks gestation to 6 weeks gestation , I ate A LOT ! I gained 10-12 lbs in just those 3 weeks . Since then I’ve been pretty good about not overeating . I eat when I’m hungry not just to eat , I also do not starve myself . There are days I eat everything in sight and days I eat only one or two small meals because I’m not really hungry . In 7 months I’ve gained 8-10 lbs . I exercise now and then , I can walk up to 8 hours if need be . I still eat and drink sugary things , I don’t eat out etc . I’m very proud of myself , I only wish I could’ve controlled myself better in those first 3 weeks where I ate 10-12 lbs . Here forward all the weight gained in my remaining 2 months of pregnancy is all baby girl 💕 here are some before photos and now photos . Honestly I hadn’t weighed myself in 3 weeks and was scared I’d gained 10 lbs but I’m very glad I didn’t 💕 yay me !!
