soda!!!

[clau26]

Lately I've been craving sodas like crazy!! But I notice that I've been putting on extra pounds plus my face is looking fuller ; (.. has the same thing happened to any of yall? I would like for my face to look skinny since the rest of my body is going to blow up. Lol. And I'm only 2 months pregnant no morning sickness, nothing just fatigue is all I am experiencing...  Help!!!  How can I keep my face looking thin!?

Me too on the DL!  But my face blew up also :-/ it's just different bodies react differently to the hormones.  Some grow dark hair all over, some get puffy, some gain more weight than normal, it's just our bodies reaction.  Now on that note, your best bet to keeping trim in the other areas is to stay away from sugar.  It is way easier said than done unfortunately.  Try substituting for stevia, honey, agave nectar, natural maple syrup, etc.  stay away from sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, sucrose, etc.  for soda craving may I suggest a half can of Zevia?  It's good and gets you through those cravings but I say to drink only half a can because it can dry your throat a little.  Also, best to stay away from any "white" foods, such as breads, pastas, potatoes.  Stick to whole grains as much as possible.  Lastly, stay away from salty foods/fried foods, but NITRATE FREE bacon, sausage and hotdogs are ok periodically!  
Ps. Drink at least half your body weight in oz of water plus 8-16oz!  Good luck!

Lol yes!! I will always have it as a reminder. I was also 5 months pregnant when I got married so my wedding pics are a little fuller to :) We were in the middle of planning our wedding when I found out I was pregnant.

I also have the soda addiction. I drink lots of water but still have one occasionally to take care of the craving. Soda is ok in moderation. I think its 200 mg of caffeine your allowed each day.
