I got yelled at :(

So I had my glucose test and regular check up today. And apparently I gained a TON of weight over xmas. They are putting me on a diabetic diet even though my results won't be back for a few days.

I'm so angry at myself. I was so successful on WW before I got pregnant, and did okay up until this point. I had a hard time changing mindsets after I got pregnant because most of the healthy things I ate before when I was on WW were not okay to eat while pregnant (like seafood and low fat deli meats....which I ate a LOT of). It's still not an excuse because I've been eating cookies and cakes and all the bad things I shouldn't. I promised myself I would be a healthy pregnant person...but grrrrr!

Sorry for the vent...I'm just upset at myself!

I am very thankful that our little girl is healthy though!

I'm sorry they gave you such a hard time.  The holidays and weight control are difficult combination for everyone.  Don't beat yourself up about it.  Hopefully you're glucose test comes back negative and they take you off of the diabetic diet soon. 

 You're only pregnant for a short period of time in the general scheme of life, so why not take that time to indulge in some of life's "sweeter" enjoyments!  And as you said, your baby is healthy and that's the most important thing of all.

That sucks!  Don't take it too hard.  I got yelled at once too, and I got so pissed off and upset that I decided not to see that particular doctor for anymore appointments.  She ended up being the one who delievered DS...go figure?!  Anyway, I really think they do this because they want you to be thinking about it again.  It is so easy to let yourself slide into the "it's okay i'm pregnant" mindset.  My doctor's comments, while hurtful, really got me thinking about what I was eating. 

Here's hoping that the doctor was overly cautious and your glucose results come back fine!

Thanks ladies! Your words made me feel better!

The truth is I really do need to get back on track and start eating better. And I AM thankful that the lil girl is still doing well!

Thanks again!

Aw, Emily, I'm sorry they gave you a hard time.  I hope that you'll still allow yourself to splurge.  You know how I felt about holiday weight gain too but at this point I feel like we're only pregnant for so long and they'll be plenty of time to worry about losing baby weight later.  I hope your glucose results come back with good news!
