Wow it has been quite some time since I blogged here.
and a lot has happened.
First of as I am sure all 3 of you know, I am pregnant. :)
second, as I am also sure all 3 of you know, I dislike being pregnant. :(
With my weight struggle history, getting fat, even in the name of pregnancy, is depressing. I really don't know how to handle it. It is getting sooo frustrating. Even as I sit here and look at my belly, I am disgusted.
and believe me, I KNOW its because there is a baby in there blah blah blah, but it doesn't change the fact that I hate looking fat, it reminds me of how I felt in high school, and my young adult life.
I hate how my clothes fit, or rather don't fit.
Seriously, all I want, is for this baby to come out, so I can go to the gym.
I can't even really work out while I am pregnant, because I injured my hip in a car accident, and I have a herniated disc.
The only thing that is bringing me comfort, is that I do feel this way, because then I know that when Henry does come, I will go to the gym, and I will get the weight off, again.
*and of course, I love my baby and will willingly go through this for him, but that doesn't make it easy.
Kati, I hated being prego too. It was not my idea of fun. I hated gaining so much weight every month. But I willingly did it too for my little guy. When people tell me they LOVE(D) being prego I thought they were NUTS! But then they of course are the gals who fit right back into their skinny jeans 2 seconds right after delivery. I think for people who struggle with their weight its very hard to gain the weight and not do anything about it. Now my struggle is to get this baby weight off once and for all. My advice for you would be don't eat like crap just cuz you are prego. Stick to the plan you were doing before. Your baby isn't going to starve. I wish I would have still counted calories and what not while I was prego. Instead I just ate what I wanted when I wanted. Get this video off amazon. I loved this when I was prego. I did it once a day.

I DO NOT BLAME YOU! Getting fat cause you have a baby in there doesn't completely help the idea that your body is stretching and junk. I think, it'd be nice to get a baby as quick as it is to be prego and stuff.. but then I think- well, I don't wanna get fat. So I understand
ReplyDeleteKati - Your current concerns that you are dealing with are the thoughts I have had in just thinking about the day that I become pregnant. It scares me to think of how I am going to feel, or what I am going to do when that day comes. I currently have a very hard time with my body weight and shape; what could gaining for a baby do to me.
ReplyDeleteI personally think you still look amazing! You are still thin and beautiful!!
It'll be hard, but you'll make it. And you'll be super proud of yourself when you're done! Believe me, starting off at a healthy weight will make it SO much easier for you to get back to where you want to be after the baby comes.
