I've moderated back to a better diet, however, today I skipped breakfast (was way too busy this morning) and had Mexican, but it wasn't enough, sooooo I stopped by Cook Out for a banana milkshake (potassium!)

I have an appointment in a little while and usually I try to just have a snack at lunch before afternoon appointments because I hate getting on the scale... but today I ate a banana, a peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat, and string cheese... plus I'm already hungry again...
Awww @zamora_spin, don't worry about that scale. Plus, the last time I went, I had "gained" 6 lbs in 4 weeks. Weird thing was, I've "lost" 5 of those pounds in the 2 weeks since. Poop. It was poop.
Don't pull back on your food, girl, it's just a number ... your well-being is more important than some number

That sounds delicious @olivemomma. Must be something in the air, I bought some coconut water on a whim. Honestly, I find it kinda gross, but adding a little flavor to it makes the coconut flavor more pronounced and quiets the "texture" ... I do love me some coconut, though. (I had an N/A pina colada this past weekend at the Food Truck Rodeo ... it was divine!!)

My son with allergies weaned fully on Sunday so I'm introducing his allergens back to my diet.
Since Wednesday, i've eaten 6...yes SIX... vegan almond magnum bars that a friend gave me at Christmas not realizing he was also allergic to nuts. I have one left and I want to eat it now so badly but I fear judgment from DH haha.
I also got a medium fries from mc Donalds today on the way to my midwife appointment (first time "eating out" in 1.5 years, figured I'd start small...it's a mental hurdle I didn't expect).
And had my first egg in 1 year 5 months tonight after ds went to bed. So, I anticipate allllll the food coming my way soon. Haha

I packed a peanut butter chocolate chip sandwich for lunch, with chocolate oreos for dessert. I'm contemplating just eating the oreos. I know that is not healthy, but the sandwich just looks so unappetizing right now.
Dominos has this Mediterranean sandwich. I finished the whole thing myself. It was delicious. Trying to come up with another reason to order dominos this weekend...
@mia8263 the reason is that you’re pregnant and it sounds good! And if anyone questions it, send ‘em here, we’ll explain
sandwiches have been so incredible lately. Wheat bread, turkey, Colby jack cheese, lettuce, mayo and spicy brown mustard. Omg. I just ate one and I could go make another...
So today was Meatloaf Day (if you haven't heard me, it's an obsession and the cafeteria at work makes a killer meatloaf), but they didn't have mashed potatoes (booooooooooooooooo!). So I opted for some plain white rice and a corn dog instead.
Annnnnnnnd now I'm trying to figure out my second lunch (usually a heavy snack). I have to get most of my calories/food in by 14:00 because I can only eat minimal amounts for dinner (and have to be done before 6:30) because the flap over my esophagus has already stopped fully closing ... and that means food will just push up my esophagus and into my throat if I eat too much or too "late." But [weakly] yayyyyyyyyyy third trimester.
