I need to give birth before I gain another 30 lbs.

Anyone else in total indulgence mode? I feel like at this point I just don't care. If I make it to 42 weeks I'm going to be very unhappy with the damage I've done!

Yep, me! I've been really concious of my weight gain and have been pretty proud of myself. I wanted to keep it under 30... I'm afraid if I don't deliver soon it's going to be keeping myself under 40!! Yikes! The Easter candy is not helping!!

Yep me. I have this totally flawed logic that I have to lose the weight anyhow so one more cookie/piece of chocolate/whatever I shouldn't be eating won't hurt. I know it's flawed logic, but it works for me. haha.

Me three but I was a chunky girl before getting pregnant. I was so good for the first 8 months now I am just letting myself down. I did manage to waddle thru my neighborhood tonight and ate really healthy today (yesterday on the other hand, I think I should have been arrested)! lol

Based on my weight today, I put on 45lbs. That seems insane to me. But then I think I have to add in my fluid from swelling. So I don't feel quite as bad haha. It's hard because I get sooo hungry.

I am 5'5" and started at 144 pre-pregnancy. I ended at 201 (57 pounds)...I am now at 183 4 days postpartum (down 18 pounds!)

I have totally let go and I've gained 40 lbs. oops. I really should try for the next few days, but I have been walking ( not for health reasons, but bc I want my baby out!)

This is me exactly. I thought it sounded excessive, especially given that I eat really, really well (always have). But when I factor in excess fluid and 2 months of bedrest, along with my newfound love for desserts (seriously, where did this sweet tooth come from?!) I don't feel so bad about it. Not looking forward to losing it, though!

Me! I've been eating like a pig, especially sweets. First tri I couldn't handle sweets now I'm making up for it. I've had so much cake, cookies and candy today it's not even funny. Everyone loved giving me food yesterday and then leftovers. Most of all my clothes don't fit and most my shirts are now showing my belly on the bottom!

LoveTravel · April 2012

Same here! I've officially hit 40 lbs (same as I gained with the boys) and I might even be a few pounds more...it's mostly my eating habits/choices and I was able to shed all my pregnancy weight and an extra 20 lbs more so I'm really hoping BF will do its wonders again (at least I hope!) lol

I've been eating a lot of sweets lately, it's really weird! Candy, ice cream, cake, etc. This morning I had my checkup and I thought, this will SURELY be the last time I'm forced to step on a scale for a while and since I got home I've been chowing down on the chocolate covered cashews and am eyeing the jelly bean tub and leftover easter lindt balls! it's only 10am!

Sweets have been my thing for the 3rd tri too. Yesterday I was in line at the cupcake store and the woman in front of me turned and said "are you craving sweets?" we had a whole conversation about how she was the same in her last months when she was pregnant 9 months ago. It was nice to know I'm not alone in being a total cookie monster.

I can't get enough sweets either. I've eaten really well this entire pregnancy until a week or two ago, when milkshakes and gummy bears became core parts of my diet. I've only gained 2-3 pounds in third trimester (26 lbs total), so I'm not too concerned about going crazy with empty calories now.

This! That's exactly how I've been thinking. Also, hey, I could go tomorrow, so one more day of leftover Easter chocolates shouldn't really matter, right??

(I still can't believe my mom brought at least a pound of chocolate and left it here ...)
