Anyone else kind of given up on healthy eating?

I was doing SO well this whole pregnancy.  Fruit, veggies, well-balanced meals...self-control!  Now that I am at the end, I am having a much harder time getting excited about anything other than foods I really shouldn't be eating a lot of. :(  Taco bell for lunch yesterday, pizza for dinner, ice cream for dessert.  I really wanted a burger for lunch today, but talked myself into a salad just so I can poop (sad, but true).  Why does the end of pregnancy bring a lack of self-control with it?!

    I'm in the same boat. While I haven't totally given up (I still make fairly well balanced meals most days), I pretty much give in to whatever cravings I have. I figure it's one of the benefits of the last few days/weeks of pregnancy. My weight gain has been fine so far (28 lbs) and I've been pretty good about staying active, so I really have no qualms about indulging in some ice cream, cookies, pizza, etc. these days. I say go for it!

    I am definitely having the same issue. I have HAD to have ice cream everyday for past week or so. I try to eat pretty good most of the time, but if I want something bad I am eating it. Do think my will power has gone missing. Like PP I also haven't gained too much overall (approx 21 lbs) so I think it's ok. And now I am wanting some pizza (and ice cream of course)!

    Uh, yes. Though I'm not going to claim to have been eating ultra healthy this whole time, I have no control these days. Now that I can't eat an entire meal I just snack all day long. That has made it even harder to keep it healthy.

    Not that I eat pure junk, but I gave up on complete healthy eating a loooong time ago....

    Yes...(raising my hand)

    I haven't been doing so great because I am now starting to get grossed out by preparing/cooking food again. Plus, I get really tired standing too long while cooking now. I hope to get on track again soon...

    I almost stopped at Cinnabon this morning but I didn't because I was running late for work.  I am getting one tomorrow for sure. I've ate pretty healthy all along so now that my weight gain is still really good I've definitely been indulging also!

    Oh I am so glad this wasn't just me.. I've been wondering why I've been eating chips and ice cream.. and baking anything with pumpkin in it (pumpkin bread/pie/bars.. you get the idea lol)

    I guess to counter-balance my indulgences, I decided to try and walk a little bit more each day .. it has been helping me not pack on the pounds I think.. like a pp said, my weight gain has been good.. about 20-21 pounds .. so I know it couldn't get that much higher in the next 3-4 weeks .. *knocks on wood*

    Now where did I put that pumpkin cheesecake recipe?? :-p

    I have still been getting my fruit and veggies in and other healthy foods, but I am certainly not turning away any treats that I want!   I know I'll go back to eating very healthy once LO is here (to try to lose the baby weight) so I feel like these are my last days of treating myself!  No more strawberry milkshakes for me after this!

    I'm reading this as I'm eating ice cream...I try to not restrict myself, but I've gotten pretty ridiculous lately in only eating what I'm hungry for.

    I was doing so well until I got put on reduced activity due to oligohydramnios.  Now that the heartburn has gotten so much worse, I eat a lot of carbs, because that's the only thing that doesn't give me heartburn.  However, prior to this, I have to admit that after my last couple of doctor's appointments (after I got weighed) I would go and get myself a naughty treat as a reward for not going over my weight goal.  I would do so poorly at Weight Watchers!!!

    Yes! For me it's an energy/pain thing. Even though I'm not working anymore and just diddle around the house all day, by dinner time I just don't have it in me to stand in front of the stove to prepare a healthy meal. DH had been working long hours so he's also exhausted by the time he gets home.

    We have lettuce but no one wants to wash it. We have veggies but no one wants to chop them. Also it doesn't help that we currently don't have a kitchen sink so creating dirty pots and pans doesn't seem so smart.
