I'm not on a diet, but I do try to eat healthier. Especially since LO came. I do things like switch to whole wheat pasta, use ground turkey instead of ground beef for everything, no more chips or unhealthy snacks. It's pretty easy for me to say no to that stuff because LO is at the age where if she sees me with it, she wants it. And I don't want her to have it, so I know I can't have it.

I'm preggers and concerned that I'm gaining too fast! (my weight is on track so far but if the rate doesn't slow down I'm gonna get huge) I'm just trying to not eat as many sweets during the day. So far it's not going well at all, but I did resist the urge for chocolate milk this morning, so that's something!

I'm trying not to let the number on the scale determine how I should eat. I used to be extremely self conscious about that number and would adjust how I ate the following days to ensure I stayed around the number. However, it was tiresome. Now, I just enjoy what I am eating and just be mindful of portions. I haven't jumped on a scale in a couple weeks and know that I'm up a few pounds (prob 5lbs based on the way clothes fit), but I'm okay with that. It's been a heck of a lot easier to maintain the current weight I'm at with no effort. I think if I was single, I could easily maintain the lower weight I was trying so hard to stay around.

I'm attempting to back off soy because I don't want an iodine deficiency during pregnancy. Which is hard, because I love tofu and soy meat replacements. At least I can still have soy sauce, because fermented soy doesn't have the same problem.

Not while I'm pregnant. I do avoid a lot of processed foods, which I've been doing for years now. But in about 5 months, there will be a BIG diet change coming

Lifestyle for sure! But it's been a process over the last couple years... finally found the lifestyle we're aiming for but it's still hard to give up certain things!

We are paleo/GF... I def miss my fluffy bread!

@anonysquire: well I already juice about once a week anyway If I'm not buying all the other stuff then it shouldn't be much of an expense.
