The weight demon is here.

in October 2011 Moms

I have always always always battled weight, and lately was just aiming to be healthy. Great. Excellent. Until I stepped on the scale and had gained two pounds over pre-pregnancy weight.*deep sigh* It finally happened. The heaviest I've EVER been.

I keep reading you shouldn't gain a pound until the 2nd trimester, and I wanted to cry. I know it's for baby, and I swear I eat healthy with the moderate junk... everyday I eat my fruits, my veggies, my eggs and milk.

But that demon that haunts me is sitting in my shoulder laughing. I know I shouldn't care, I know my weight will go up. But somehow it still hurts and shocks. 

Just needed to vent. Sad

    Any chance you're just constipated? I swear I have at least 5 pounds just waiting to come out! A little gross I know, but thats what I'm chalking my gain up to.

    lol I was really hoping but no. I think I can contribute one of those pounds to the amount of water I consumed this morning! That's legit, right? Stick out tongue

    I am right there with you- have battled my weight forever, and I am up some.  I was horrified when I stepped on the scale this morning.  I told DH it was the highest number I have ever seen, and started crying.

    go easy on yourself sweetie.. you will have all the time in the world to get back to being skinny mamma again! I do think exercise is the key..i'm in the same boat tho.. i'm pretty heavy and not happy i'm only going to get bigger ... i am trying to get a exercise routine going but I can't get motivated!!

    im starting to worry myself, my weight keeps fluctuating up and down about 4lbs...its not the heaviest ive ever been, but I lost 60 lbs before I got pregnant and the thought of putting on even ONE of those pounds back on, is terrifying...hopefuly most of this is just bloat!

    I wouldn't drive yourself too crazy about it!! My weight normally has a +-5 lbs depending on the day and the week....don't make yourself crazy if you are eating healthy, Friday you might be back down!

    get rid of your scale and ask your dr. to weigh you facing away from the numbers and only tell you about your weight if its a problem. Focus on being healthy. Everyone gains at a different rate.

    I hate to say this, but it is going to be a VERY long 9 months for you if you obsess about this.  Especially since you really can not do anything to control how, where and when you gain weight anymore.  All you can do is live a healthy lifestyle.  Let your body do the rest.  Trust that it knows what you need, when and where.  You may not always love what it looks like, but that comes with the territory.  You can focus on losing it after the baby is born.  For now, just enjoy the ride.
