Obsessing over What I ate and my Weigh-in - Slap Me

For both this pregnancy and my last, I started out a good 25 lbs over weight. With DD, I gained 30 lbs and had to really work to lose the 15 extra just to get back to ground zero. I have been very good about watching what I eat this time in effort not to gain more than baby. Honestly, I have been a bit obsessive at points. For the last few weeks I have strictly followed the gd diet despite not having gd. I have been very happy with how it is going. Today, my office surprised me with a Birthday cake, because my Birthday is this weekend. I did not want to eat the cake at all, but felt it was rude not to. I had a slice and now cannot stop obsessing over the stupid slice of cake and my weigh-in tomorrow. I know it won?t make a huge impact, but I cannot help but dwell over this damn piece of cake. I have always had food issues, so this is nothing too new. However, I am disappointed by how much I am letting one piece of cake affect me.

Babe I know this is never as easy as it sounds but you need to chill out. I know gaining weight is hard and it can make you feel helpless but obsessing over weight gain while pregnant can be as dangerous as throwing caution to the wind and gaining a ton of it. Your Dr. will tell you if you're gaining too much.
Can I just say that you do not look like you're overweight at all? If I thought otherwise I would just not reply to this post.
I can identify though, after thinking I've been doing so awesome this whole pregnancy, staying in shape, eating healthy for the most part, keeping the weight gain in check, the nurse gave me a big WHOAAAA when I got on the scale at my last appt, and ever since I've been having salads for lunch and not eating anything sweet ever. I would love to say "Stop being stupid! It's a piece of cake!" And if I said it, it would be a true statement, but sadly I think we all hear ya.
I know. I cannot believe I am letting it effect me so much. I need a beer or five. 23 more days - 23 more day - 23 more days.
Simmer down sista!! You have what 5 weeks left in your pregnancy, worry about it after the baby comes because there is nothing you can do about it right now.
I gained the majority of my weight during the 2nd tri so during my 3rd tri I too have been trying to watch things by doing the GD diet without having GD. I had cake last week for H's birthday and don't worry it didn't affect my weigh in the next day. It's not good to stress out right now especially over something small like a piece of cake (which has about 400 calories so just eat light for dinner if you are really worried!)
Happy early birthday!
Nice to know someone can relate. I'm being an idiot. I just need to get a grip.
As everyone else has said, don't worry about that piece of cake! If you need to obsess over food, you can obsess over the plate of french fries covered in cheese and sour cream that I just devoured. I can now feel the grease settling into my a$$. Yum.
Happy early birthday
