Have you changed your eating habits?

Kismet21 · June 2009

I am trying to eat healthy, laying off all of the "don'ts" but in general my eating habits have changed the most about not restricting myself.

We never had chips in the house before...now we do. I eat a few a day and try not to eat the whole bag. I also find myself wanting fruit all the time. I have canned fruit and "real" fruit around.

I eat what I want when I want...with in moderation.

You? ?

i let myself have dessert a lot more than i used to...and i actually eat three meals a day which is also something i never really used to do.

Not too much! Other than I make sure I eat breakfast everyday now..and we must constantly have strawberries, watermelon and junior mints in the house at all times! Such weird cravings!

I always ate healthy... the only thing i do different now is If I want some candy, i give it to myself... but only a few pieces and not every day! Its all about Moderation!

I havent changed too much. I've eaten more fruit and veggies but I havent changed a whole lot.

Ditto. I was super careful about what I ate for the most part before. I'd have a "cheat" day once a week, but otherwise tried to eat very healthy. Now I tend to let myself give in a lot more, oh well. I'll probably be hating myself in December when I'm trying to run all this extra weight off, but I'm in the healthy weight gain range & my doc says to just enjoy it.

I try to counter-act some of the damage by working out a few times a week still.

That is true...I used to only eat a piece of fruit or cheese for breakfast. Now I eat yogart and granola everyday.?

tlquist · June 2009

yes....and they will change even more after today...I meet with the nurses at my MW's office to discuss my diet and then I meet with the dietician on Monday..I have GD, and also had it with DD. I would pay a million $$s for a snickers bar, though!!

When I had morning sickness really bad I ate anything that would stay down. Mainly these were items from the "roni" family - macaroni, pastaroni etc. I never ate that crap before but it stayed down.

Now I am just trying to stay away from "diet" drinks and foods because I am worried about the additives. Other than that - nothing new.

My main change is that I drink a lot more milk and eat a lot more yogurt than before. I used to be lactose intolerant, but somehow weaned myself onto dairy and am okay with it now.

I used to eat healthy before, mainly just veggies, but now I find myself eating more carbs. Veggies don't sound good at all. I do eat smaller portions now though, so that's good. I've still only gained 3 lbs so we will see how this new eating habit affects me.

I went nuts for most of 2nd tri, but now that I've packed on a whopping 30 lbs by 24 weeks, I'm trying to scale back to how I ate pre-preg. Fruit, Eggs, Protein...not bagels every day....not cookies every night...

I had a good run though...

I have bought some things that I didn't have in the house before. And all the dang cookies I have around here-I also have potato chips. But, I'm also eating a whole lot more veggies and fruits. I think I basically lived on bread and meat before getting pregnant! I haven't gained that much weight (no flames here, just saying) and the doctor is pleased with my progress, so, I guess I'm ok with what i am eating!

I definitely eat more dessert and clean my plate more often though! But, I'm also not drinking!(wine beer)

**cookie** · June 2009

Nope, i really haven't changed anything. I do eat a lot more fruits and ice cream but i try to buy the low-cal/low-fat.

Flyswmer · June 2009

I eat ice cream much more than I did before pregnancy. And I don't drink wine of course! I miss it! Other than that I'm eating the way I did prior to pregnancy.
