Howdy SW chums! I have decided to tell you a little story.
I have been a bit awol (er...well...pretty much totally awol!) for a couple of weeks now. Ever since I got back from my holiday in Wales, really. I had a hard time getting back into the plan, and although I love SW, I just wasn't able to stick with it.
Over the past few weeks (including my holiday!) I have gained 4lbs. I will probably add another 1 to that tonight at WI.
I have been feeling really tired and washed out. I was feeling hungry all the time but at the same time was off my food. Thirsty, yes. Queasy, quite a lot of the time. I am heavy, bloated and feeling under the weather.
Those of you who are good at reading between the lines might be able to guess at what I'm going to say next....
I am pregnant!
We are over the moon! It's still pretty early days, which is why I've held off from telling you all for a while. But we've started telling a few people now - our parents know, as do some of my best friends. Haven't told work just yet but there's a reason for that, I won't go into that now!
So, there we go! It's brilliant but really scary at times. I have to admit I'm a bit wibbly about gaining weight, even though I intend to do my best to make sure it's mostly baby and not blubber. I fully intend to stick to SW as much as possible throughout, but my appetite has gone haywire to be honest and I am totally off cooking, which doesn't help! I am trying though, eating fruit and veg as much as I can. Although the way I've been eating Monster Munch, pizza and bread-related items, blubber is a real possibility! But, whatever happens I know I can lose it again after the baby is born.
I will try not to be too absent from the boards, as I do miss you crazy slimmers when I'm not here! But I probably won't be around that much.
Good luck everyone...I'll keep checking in and commenting whenever I can!
