Getting fat

Yep, I'm turning out to be one of those women who's having so much nausea in the 1st trimester that all I can eat is carbs... and it's showing!  I'm not upset or worried about it - I know it's healthy as long as I keep in under control.  It's just crazy because my BF is pregnant too, 8 weeks ahead of me, and we've gained the same amount of weight.  I'm pretty petite and not talking mega lbs here, but believe me - this is not my little raspberry causing my tight pants...

Off to buy some chips...  Smile

Re: Getting fat

  • I am right there with you, but I"m not petite...it's still bad though.

    I swore up and down I would eat healthier with my second pregnancy and I just can't.  I got nauseous looking at a banana the other day - and I normally LOVE bananas.  I eat bagels for breakfast (at least it's not the huge ones, but a store sized one) sandwiches for lunch and carbs at dinner too - pizza, pasta, etc.  

    The 2 times I tried to eat a salad - once for lunch and once for dinner, I had a terrible taste in my mouth after, was burping up LETTUCE, and felt awful.

    I am praying this only lasts a couple more weeks and by 2nd tri I am living on fruit and grilled meat all summer!

  • I have to start everyday with a bagel, I need carbs or I feel ill.  I am on the smaller side and have already gained 4 lbs by 10 weeks!  I am trying to focus on being health and not worry about the number on the scale!  Good luck, I know it is hard!
  • I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought nothing but carbs. I was actually embarassed when I got to the register. Figured the cashier thought we were gross unhealthy people.....I am so turned off to anything else and figure, at least I'm getting calories that I need. I feel terrible about it.....Zip it!

  • Carbs used to be the only thing that would settle my stomach but now that is causing it to become upset.. Oy

     But now chips really sound yummy! 

  • I feel the same as you.  I've only gained 2 lbs. thus far, but I am afraid those numbers will jump a lot within the next several weeks.  All I consume is carbs. So bad!

  • Same here, all I have eaten for dinner for the last 3 nights is tortellini with pesto or just plain olive oil with cheese when I ran out of pesto. It was so good though. :o
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Tortellini sounds AMAZING!!  I have been really bad ... I eat my health breakfast (Fruit/yogurt) and then go for my hubby's bagel w/ cream cheese. :)  This continues at dinner too.  

    Talking about chips, tonight's dinner is Chilaquiles!!  What better way to celebrate President's day then to make our President's favorite meal.
