As the title says really! I've always been a little overweight, and although I probably should have lost weight before becoming pregnant I really struggled with trying to conceive, it took us a year to conceive and although that isn't long in the world of fertility it really did feel like forever, in this time Me and my partner got made redundant and had to move in with my mum to save money.
Other half managed to find a really good job, he loves it, being made redundant was the best thing to ever happen to him.
Me on the other hand got made redundant and found out I was pregnant, then suffered severe morning sickness, so along with comfort eating I ate anything that I could keep down and grabbed the nearest convenience food, not to mention my family live on fast food!!!! I plan to move out before baby gets here in March. I'm only just feeling well enough now to eat foods I'd normally eat (home cooking, spag bol,roast dinners etc)
I don't know what damage I've done in regards to weight gain, I just know I've gone from a size 12/14 to a 16/18 in a very short space of time, I will weigh in the morning just as guidance, im not planning on doing slimmingworld to lose a ton of weight, I just want to be healthy for myself and baby, if I manage to lose weight it will be a bonus and this will be the healthiest way to do it.
Because my weight has always got me down in terrified that I will give birth and be so so depressed with how I look, and how ruined my body is,that it will outshine the joy and love I feel for my little girl. I also just feel complete yuck, I suffer terrible acid reflux because of my diet and I'm constantly bloated and windy, I remember how much better and more energetic I felt on slimming world when I done it a few years ago.
I won't be going to the meetings as the money would be more beneficial in my pocket atm, so I will be doing it from home along with swimming a few times a week.
As you'll see from my previous posts over the years I've really struggled to keep a diet going since I lost 3/4 stone on SW about 5 years ago and have promised myself I'd change, not give up this time etc and then failed miserably, but I genuinely can't keep giving up anymore, I'm the biggest I've ever been and I'm genuinely terrified I won't like who I am anymore, I've stopped taking photos of myself, won't even want to take pictures of my bump when it comes in properly as I feel people will think I just look fat and not pregnant etc plus I'm a great cook, I want to be able to make healthy meals for my baby girl, purée my home cooking, not get jar food or bring her up on nuggets and smiley faces!!!
Enough ranting I guess, will update daily.im 16 weeks pregnant if anyone wondered or wanted to join me in my journey
