Frustrated with Myself (eating)

gablegurl

I'm almost 13 weeks and am so frustrated. I am already overweight so I've got that working against me but my appetite is frustrating me! I also haven't gained as much as I should, although my Dr hasn't questioned it.

Most days, nothing sounds good and I barely eat a thing. But try to because I have to. But the days or times I DO have an appetite there's only one thing that sounds good and I have to have it. (usually Burger King, McDonalds, Chicken Strips, or French Fries). I feel SO guilty!!

Is anyone else having this problem??

Oh Yeah! I lost 16 lbs & did not get it back till about 22 weeks & I was not over weight. I would force down a protein shake, but ate whatever sounded good which was so limited.

The babies will get what they need.

I was the same way. I lost several pounds in the 1st trimester because of morning sickness and total loss of appetite. My strategy was just eat whatever didn't absolutely nauseate me. A few weeks into the 2nd trimester, I was able to eat more foods and slowly start gaining weight. You will get there too; hang in there!

You can only eat what sounds appetizing at that moment. Maybe buy a box of ckn patties or nuggets that you can make at home?that way they will be slightly healthier than fast food, and cheaper!

I lucked out by having nausea for 2 months and lost weight. I would tell you to try to control it now because the end is when the weight really comes on. GL
