i don’t wanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever feel like a two year old? or a 15 year old??? or, as it runs out, a 38 year old????????? I just don’t want to do it! I don’t want to give up the night munchies, the scones during the day, the eating whatever i feel like. yet, i don’t like the way i am packing on the pounds or the bad habits. the number is getting VERY BIG! last week when i asked my midwife about the weight gain, she stopped and looked at the number which at that point was 20lbs and she said “it is what it is. the more you put on the more you have to take off. it’ll be about a pound a week for the next 10 weeks.” “That’s not too bad,” she said kind of wincing. Not too good either, though, i was clear. I am not TOO TOO big so they aren’t raising the flags or sending out a specialist, but i am going overboard and i know it. I think since that last appt i have gained another 5 lbs! this is the night binges mostly, but some day times as well. also less exercise because of the heat, the move, and the great depth of excuses i muster.
the thing that is so very clear is that i am in that lovely place i go to of i don’t care, i don’t want to, i have all sorts of excuses, etc. thing is, it doesn’t really work because i do actually care, i do want to, and excuses are just that. we all get busy and taken from our everyday lives but the ones who succeed over and over again are the ones who keep at what’s important in the midst of the life that gets in the way. that’s really what i want - to be that person. can i be that person and eat scones, too? LOL
all right, gotta go get some work done around here. anyone want to come pack a box or two?

Sure I will come on over and help you pack up! Don’t be too hard on yourself…I think you held back a lot the first few months of your pregnancy with the eating. It is just catching up to you now…try picking two things a day that you know are not healthy but your really want them anyways and let yourself have it…save it till night time if that is your time to indulge.
Wish we lived in MAss., I’d be there right away helping you pack
I don’t know if this helps, but many days I feel exactly like you do. Like a little kid having a temper tantrum…I DON’T WANNA EITHER!! LOL!!
But on a serious side, its not funny. Its tough losing this weight Debbie, but its even tougher for you being pregnant. Maybe for now, try to focus on the healthy foods…a few snackys now and then and then after the baby is born…TACKLE IT HEAD ON!! Cuz I know you can do it!! Love ya!!
I will come!! I agree with Jane, just focus on HEALTHY right now!
Wish I could help…does mental packing help?
[[[[pack pack,pack]]]]heehee, I tried to make it box-like. Oh well…
I don’t think that it’s very healthy for the baby if mom is overweight.
Debbie, I talked about my girlfriend and her hungry for sweets eyes. She just can’t stop although she KNOWS, she WANTS to lose weight (she is not big at all but flabby) and she thinks that she is like a little kid deprived from sweets which is so unfair.
Do you have like a tunnel vision with a giant scone in it? Does the time stop when you think about eating scones and munching on stuff? Are you going to help with packing boxes by packing on the pounds? Gosh, I don’t want to sound so harsh at all but there is no other way to say it.
You don’t have to hang in there Debbie. Hanging is like being stuck in limbo… You can decide to live this day, right now, in a healthy way. You can do it. You can spend a lot of time thinking “why I eat, why can’t I stop, why, why, why” or you can just stop. Only for today. Tonight. Then build on your success. One more day. Tomorrow. And the rest of 10 weeks. And again. One step at a time.
