My friend, Tiffany, challenged her readers to free write today. 5 mins of writing what immediately comes to mind so this should be interesting I'll give it a try :)
I had a doctor's appointment this morning the baby is doing well but my weight gain not so much. The doc told me to be more careful with what I ate, when I ate, how much I ate. Understandable, he doesn't want me to die of a heart attack while I'm in labor but still I cried afterwards. I cried for a really long time and the whole time thinking to myself "this is not what the doctor would be telling me if I was skinny." I already feel like I don't eat enough so what am I supposed to do now starve myself or just eat salad all day long...well for the baby sake I'll probably go with the salad for a little while.
Carl was great at just comforting me afterward, sometimes he isn't so good about it when it comes to my weight issues. not that he hates my weight because he doesn't but sometimes he over talks about different things that just make me feel worse even though his intentions are good and loving but today today he just listened and let me cry. Instead of trying to give me advice or tell me how to eat better or exercise more he just listened let me cried and prayed for my spirit and told me he loved me no-matter what. I felt better after that he did good today i told him so.
We had an inch of snow fall last night this morning the roads were extremely icy and the drivers on the roads were complete idiots. Funny how we get over 4inches of snow a few weeks ago and people did fine we get 1 inch and people go crazy.
Times up :)
That was fun talk about a good way to be really honest about your life :)
Give it a try.

Awesome Sarah - you did great!
And that completely stinks on the weight thing. That is sooooo not what a preggo woman wants or needs to hear!! Ug. My advice - take it with a grain of salt - you sound as if you are still hungry, so I was wondering if you tried to increase your fiber and protein if that may help. That way you can eat less and feel full, and the baby will still get what he needs. Or you could completely blow this off and go have that big chocolate bar. That's what I would be tempted to do!! It was soooo hard for me to control what I ate when I was pregnant - I was ravenous! Hang in there girl!
Thanks Tiffany :)
The reality is that the bigger a woman is when she's pregnant the higher her chances of having complications during labor and I can't even say out loud how much I weight but the fact of the matter is I am indeed pregnant and therefore can not place myself on a 'lose weight diet.' I can only change some eating habbits and hope that will curve the weight gain.
my biggest mistake is I'm the type of person that can go all day without eating anything so then when it comes to dinner I'm ravished and eat way more than I should. So the first thing I have to do is increase my meals, keep plenty of fruit around the house, and resist those cravings for salt and fast food.
It's like I told carl though and another close friend of mine. It's just really frustrating because the last 2x that I've started a "lose weight diet" I've ended up getting pregnant after losing 10-20pounds and I need to lose a whole lot more than that. So I feel bad all the time because I want to do something but I'm just not in a place where I can , except to start and keep good eating habbits.
Girl.
EAT.
Big ole breakfasts especially. With protein or not. It is the MOST important meal of the day.
Look at me. I eat breakfast like a pig. I'm telling you...it's the secret to all my success in life. And I owe it all to my mother who made me eat breakfast every day of my life.
And then eat some more throughout the day. It seems counter-productive, but it's actually really good for you. Try to always include protein. That's why WIC gives you the cheese and peanut butter. You NEED it!
I have spoken.
