Is anyone else feeling guilty about eating?

Question

Hi! I’m nearly 12 weeks pregnant, before finding out I joined a local weight loss group and lost nearly 3 stone! I’m now pregnant and can’t stand some of the stuff I used to eat, and I’ve noticed I’m eating quite fatty foods! I just feel guilty for what I’m eating but I know it’s better to eat what I want than to not eat at all, is anyone else in the same boat? Xx

Answer

I am feeling the same way! For about 8 months before getting pregnant I was on a really clean eating plan, and hardly ate any carbs. Since being pregnant the only thing I can stomach is carbs. The only meat I can stand is McDonald's breakfast sandwiches and before being pregnant I hadn't eaten McDonald's in over a year. I've mentally been battling with the food I've been eating, but know that of I don't eat those things then I wouldn't be able to eat at all. I'm still watching my weight to make sure I don't gain a lot, I've gained 3 lbs and I'm 9 weeks.

Answer

Yes, I’m in the same boat. I’ve been on weight watchers, and I lost 55lbs. I hit lifetime status the week before I found out I was pregnant. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now, I’m struggling with my food choices. Basic things like chicken breast make me gag, but carbs always go over well. And if I don’t eat every 2 hours, I feel sick. I feel so guilty, bc I worked so hard to become healthy and lose that weight. And I don’t mind gaining baby weight in the least, but I know I’ll gain a lot more than that if I keep eating like this. 😭

Answer

Yes! I try to way myself every day and have already gained 4 pounds. I was on low carb diet and now I crave carbs!

Answer

Nope. I been pigging out. I need to slow down because I'm already gaining too much weight my dr is gonna SPAZZ OUT at my next appt! 😫😫

Answer

Me too. I was also on a diet prior to pregnancy and tried to eat as healthily as possible but with the cravings now, its hard to stay focused on eating only healthy foods. For the first time in 4-5 months, I bought potato chips and oreos.
