Thanks for sharing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-2081598 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:29:49 +0000 littlejoy 2081598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really focused on eating well during my pregnancy, then I hit the 3rd trimester and had peanut butter cups + ice cream every day. After expressing guilt (and gaining 8 lbs in two weeks), I dialed it back, but my midwife assured me that babies are really resilient. That the sugar and crap food might mean I gain more and have a hard time losing it quickly, but baby is totally fine!!! So yeah, I think we all just reach a point where we are over being pregnant, and we eat our feelings, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-2081588 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:25:52 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2081588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: that's why I can't buy it anymore!

Plus a mini muffin<br /> - 2 leftover pieces of Mellow Mushroom pizza (big pieces)<br /> - 2 spoonfuls of plain cream cheese frosting (!!)<br /> - Ice cream cone<br /> - 1 more piece of pizza<br /> - Did also have at this point about 1/2 c. broccoli and a nectarine<br /> - 2-3 more big spoonfuls of frosting</p> <p>Sigh... WAY too much crap.

Today in particular! I started the day w 2 homemade powdered sugar donuts...sprinkled throughout the rest of the day was a sesame ball and grape soda from the Asian food store, and fries from McDonald's. (HAD to have them!) And of course my daily coke that I can't seem to make it through the day without. Thank God I had a healthy dinner... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079837 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 16:03:03 +0000 miramira 2079837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dude, I used to just sit and spoon Nutella into my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079487 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 08:15:04 +0000 bhbee 2079487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate so much worse the second time. stress, taking care of toddler, nausea the whole time, etc.<br /> in the end I gained the same total and am losing it the same but I had a bigger (perfecrly healthy) baby. He still loves to eat so maybe that's my fault but he was born 9 lb 13 oz (not chubby, just giant!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079383 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 01:15:49 +0000 sapphire 2079383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat way too many sweets. I otherwise eat quite healthy so I hope it balances okay. Weight gain has been reasonable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079366 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 00:33:28 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2079366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: is it awful I've had that dinner at least two or three times</p> <p>@MrsMccarthy: yes I think part of it is because after I get up get my kids ready and fed i am literally starving and just grab what I can to eat. I need to stock more food for me but I never use to eat breakfast so its hard to remember. I drink a little bottle of Coke daily since I don't drink coffee or tea and I'm so tired I need the caffeine badly to function </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079349 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 00:13:41 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2079349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: that's how I feel this time. I think feeling more tired and stressed leads to a lot of emotional eating of letting myself get so hungry that I want nothing but sugar which is quick to give energy (and then crash so it's a vicious cycle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079341 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:55:26 +0000 mrscobee 2079341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: lol at your croutons comment :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079337 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:50:47 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2079337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never ate particularly healthy to be honest but this pregnancy, the stress of having 2 other kids maybe, is like a how to not eat healthy. I have eaten more fast food (pinned in a car with 2 sleeping kids and starving), ramen noodle packs (I crave them like need them), and junk in general (oh dinner is meatballs hmmm I want a bowl of croutons dosed in dressing instead...seems reasonable) then ever. Im terrified of what Im doing but I cant stop either its terrible Poor 3rd child </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079334 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:45:05 +0000 mrscobee 2079334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Yes, sooooooo expensive! Who can afford that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079330 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:28:40 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2079330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat a spinach smoothie everyday but a whole sleeve of cookies seems to make its way in there too all too often. </p> <p>@mrscobee: it alls gets so expensive too! I feel like everyday is a new chance for me to fail at avoiding junk food. Oh the self loathing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079313 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:01:53 +0000 turquoisemama 2079313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh this was totally me. I gained a lot but my baby was 7lbs 11oz at 41.5weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079268 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 22:15:28 +0000 mrscobee 2079268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel guilty about almost everything I eat! I wish I could eat all organic or something but just not practical with so many food aversions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079245 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:48:04 +0000 magnolia 2079245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. ... I gained 40 lbs and my OB told me (the day after I gave birth) to "eat less donuts next time"...before pregnancy I ate very healthy... during and after is a whole nother story. I crave sugar all The time. . But baby is fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079235 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:34:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2079235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: Me too. It was def tough and stressful at times, but if I didn't have GD I probably might have gained double the weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-feel-guilty-for-eating-like-veal-during-pregnancy#post-2079225 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:22:25 +0000 Torchwood 2079225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a bad eater normally, and it's definitely worse when I'm pregnant. But I figure I'm taking the best prenatals I can, so hopefully that balances the excessive sugar. It's just that satisfying a craving tastes soooo good! </p>
