Isn't it fun to eat? :)

I may have spent the last few weeks complaining (to anyone that knows me) about how unhappy I am with my current weight (was 56kg in Jan and now after a miscarriage and pregnant again weigh nearly 70kg) But there is definitely one advantage to the situation...

I had forgotton how much fun it is to eat until you are FULL.

I spend my life serving myself less than I would like to eat and denying myself my favourite foods.. Which is something I don't do when I am pregnant.

I had forgotton how much I love food!

o my gosh food is great. i eat like im pregnant ALL the time! i dont even care, i always think, im not regretting later on that i didnt eat that dessert, or missed out on this cheesy enchilada! haha its making me hungry just talking about it. i wish i had something really quick to bake. i mean dangit ive got to LIVE! my papaw has suffered two heart attacks and he eats sooo much junk and the doctor told him "no more chocolate, sugar, all that good stuff" and he waited till he was gone and wheeled himself down to the snack machine and got some snickers and hid them. my mamaw has tried to stop him several times but she says she just cant control him so she doesnt even try. he told us he might as well not live if he cant be happy while hes living. hes so stubborn. but i eat really well, i just dont cut anything out! i never deny myself anything. being hungry is just not my thing... thank goodness i have a love for working out too!

I wish I could be that laid back about it. I envy you! Even when I do eat I feel more guilty with every spoonful I put in my mouth. But that was how I was raised. My mum thinks being thin is the most important thing in life.

well good thing you are pregnant! 9 months of stuffing your face bliss! plus girl when you are hungry your body is needing something, and it eats on your muscles first. and then when those are gone all you got is flab. haha but you are pretty thin so you must be doing it right, and this is your third child correct?

[Atlantisea]

Yes, third child, 4th pregnancy (lost last one to miscarriage).

i plan to look better than ever after my third. at least now i have some hips since my kiddos. before i had nothing. im sorry to hear of your miscarriage, its a pain ive never had to cope with so i know you must be so exited! btw i dont want to give the impression i am some slothful grub lol i realized when explaining how i eat how much i sounded like a cow. first image that came to mind was Norbit's wife (if youve ever seen the movie). i just enjoy food a LOT!

[Atlantisea]

Not at all. :)

You just sound like you have a healthy attitude towards food.

I am still working on mine...

loool that's the best thing ...food taste REALLY gooood when you are hungry ...i never been this hungry before... don't feel guilty please, your feeling hungry because your body and your baby need the food and the nutrients ...you can always burn it after the baby is here.....sorry about the previous miscarriage it's a painful thing to go through ...and just to let you know although am active i really gained around 2kg myself and am only 6w3days.......let it be the least of you concerns ;o)

Up until 6 weeks, I definitely knew what being full was! I ATE and ATE all the time and it was great!! Than once I hit 6 weeks I started feeling sooo sick ALL the time. And it's still here! I'm having the hardest time eating food. I'm never hungry and if I am, the second I even think of food I feel sick. Than after I eat I feel like I'm going to throw up! I know its all part of the Journey, so I Love it! But I was really enjoying eating all the time! LOL

I eat everything I want and I am loosing weight - I dunno why.  I am 18 weeks and have last 2 1/2 pounds (as of this morning's doctor's appt).  Oh well - I am enjoying eating what i want and not gaining - even if I gain I am okay. :)

I wouldn't worry, the morning sickness goes away soon enough and then you will spend the rest of the pregnancy thinking about eating all day!

Luckily, the bigger we get (the bigger the baby gets) the less room there is to fit food in our stomachs, or we would all get rather fat!!
