Can't seem to get enough sugar! UGH!!

I was always a pretty healthy eater. Even through my pregnancy, I did pretty well. No real cravings, and I didn't eat a lot of junk. However, the past 2-3 weeks I've been pigging out on sugary foods! Its crazy! I've always had a sweet tooth, but could always resist. Now since I've been put off of work, I am eating the sugary foods like crazy! The holidays doesn't help either because there is candy. chocolate, etc etc everywhere. Even as I am eating it, I'm like why am I doing this, or this is my last one, but it never is. LOL  I'm not craving a particular sugary food. And interestingly enough, have no interest in ice cream, which is stereotypically a pregnancy craving..... I do not have GD, but still feel bad that I'm feeding baby girl so much bad food! I was 113lbs when I got pregnant, Now I'm 37 weeks along and am about 136lbs, so I am not doing THAT bad, but STILL! Anyone else experiencing this??

    I basically have the same story. I've been so good - until the holidays hit and the sugar is EVERYWHERE. Luckily, it's almost all gone and I'll have about 7 weeks to get my diet back into shape (I gained about 4-5 lbs in one week the week of my shower). My doctor said I'm doing fine though and on track to only gain 30-35 total and should have no problem getting it off as long as I breastfeed.

    I've always had a ridiculous sweet tooth and I'm not the delayed gratification type of gal, so I pretty much always give in.

    ditto. Blame it on the holidays, I guess? That's what I'm doing, except I'm still eating the junk.

    tell me about it!  i've gained about 30 pounds so far and although i'm not too overly worried about it, i haven't slowed down my eating!  I'm soo glad the holidays are over because i was eating christmas cookies every morning at work for the last 2-3 weeks!
