Luckily, I craved mostly fruits - okay, I ate a lot of cake as well. The sweet craving carried over post partum too and am paying for it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156957 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:09:58 +0000 MsMini 156957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I have perfected eating with him balanced on my legs now! I am definitely taking advantage of the non-GD diet goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156721 Sat, 12 May 2012 14:01:21 +0000 pastemoo 156721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: OK. Me too! Let s get these boys out of their little cramped uterverses and into the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156711 Sat, 12 May 2012 13:57:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 156711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I did the same thing, I was starved all the time!</p> <p>Also, right after having him, for the first 2-3 weeks, I was eating as often as he was. I was sooo hungy. I ate small meals every 2-3 hours. My midwife/nurse said it was normal. I was establishing milk supply, I needed lots of extra nutrients and calories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156694 Sat, 12 May 2012 13:32:37 +0000 Mrsbells 156694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yeah i definitely didnt run out of room, plus my baby dropped really low so i actually had more room towards the end</p> <p>Even at the hospital all I could think about (aside from the safe delivery of the baby) was FOOD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156513 Sat, 12 May 2012 08:27:10 +0000 winniebee 156513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: awe, thank you! I guess now that I"m on my feet and wearing normal clothes, am realizing how big I've gotten - have outgrown so much of my maternity clothes!</p> <p>@mediagirl: everyone said that to me, too, and I feel like I've eaten the most from weeks 34-38.....ha!</p> <p>@His Barista: oh boy. summer = ice cream.</p> <p>@MsMini: now that you aren't on the GD diet, take advantage girl! oh mom guilt....jeez. </p> <p>@pastemoo: I've officially decided that he should come now. Well, not right this second as I could use a shower and need to run some errands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156453 Sat, 12 May 2012 06:23:29 +0000 His Barista 156453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sweet tooth has yet to go away. Its been. 2 months. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156425 Sat, 12 May 2012 04:56:10 +0000 mediagirl 156425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I've been reading that when you hit 35 weeks, you start running out of room. Doesn't seem to affect me... :-) </p> <p>@winniebee don't even worry about it! You're up and moving around now whih means you're probably hungrier because you haven't been used to using calories! Eat the junk, you know you won't do it forever. That baby's due date is just a couple weeks away now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156409 Sat, 12 May 2012 03:03:34 +0000 pastemoo 156409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Me too... come on baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156335 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:53:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 156335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ya i've been eating like a pig recently... :| so you aren't alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156313 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:23:53 +0000 MsMini 156313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was starving in the last few weeks I was pregnant, and the GD really put a crimp in my snacking. I have been equally as hungry since Sawyer was born, but I find it hard to put him down so I can eat (I get Mommy guilt for feeding myself - what the heck?!?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156309 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:17:29 +0000 Mrsbells 156309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My appetite built up towards the end of the pregnancy, At one point I gained 5 pounds in less than a week! And my OB said people usually lose weight towards the end but not me. I was hungry all day every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156292 Fri, 11 May 2012 19:53:21 +0000 heffalump 156292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: you're crazy, you're doing amazing! You've been on bedrest so not only can you not exercise, but when people have nothing to do they sit there and eat all day. And still with all that you've gained a healthy amount of weight. Don't be so hard on yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156099 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:16:54 +0000 winniebee 156099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thanks! It's fine, I'm sure...I can't eat like this forever!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I looove that saying!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156094 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:14:03 +0000 MsLipGloss 156094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinnieBee: So many of us are with you! Try to cut yourself some slack. I think it's going to turn out better than you expect, and you have certainly earned your share (and then some!) of treats/rewards. </p> <p>I have struggled with an incredible urge to devour anything with sugar this entire pregnancy. Fresh produce and protein was revolting to me until about week 16ish. And my appetite has been through the roof. : / I have gained 20 pounds so far and I am only 23 weeks.</p> <p>Try to enjoy your last week or so (or last day(s) - you never know!) of pregnancy. As my best friend says, it will all come out in the wash - and if not, it will come out in the ironing. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156087 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:12:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 156087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't sweat the small stuff like this. As long as you haven't gained excessively, I think you are ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156085 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:10:47 +0000 winniebee 156085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Ugh, I have usually allowed myself a "treat" a day or every other day but lately I'm just eating whatever the heck I want. At 37w, I had gained 27 pounds and that's not that bad, but jeez I might start to pack it on now!</p> <p>@autumnlove: Thank you, me too!!</p> <p>@duckduckkristen: Hahah I have heard that breastfeeding moms are even HUNGRIER. Not sure how it's possible to get hungrier than I am now ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156081 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:08:31 +0000 duckduckkristen 156081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally with you! The last 2 weeks of my pregnancy I ate a ton of ice cream, Oreos with milk, chips, candy, and pizza. I don't regret it. It was delicious. haha. </p> <p>Since LO was born I've been soooo hungry and carbo-loading like mad! I was never this hungry pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156064 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:00:45 +0000 autumnlove 156064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, happy eating! Glad you are no longer on bed rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156062 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:59:55 +0000 heffalump 156062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate like that my entire pregnancy. Still paying for it with this baby weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-weeks-to-go-and-losing-self-control#post-156059 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:58:21 +0000 winniebee 156059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the food department.</p> <p>Whoever said that you lose your appetite at the end of pregnancy lied. Or exaggerated.</p> <p>I can't stop eating sweets...it's terrible. Yesterday at work had a piece of cake at a work lunch and then after dinner had a whole milkshake (my husband's doing). Today after lunch ate a ginormous choc chip cookie like it was no big deal. I feel like I have just gotten to the point of "f" it! Not good b/c I still have 2 wks and 2 days til my due date. GAH!</p> <p>Anyone with me? </p>
