OMG I cannot stop eating JUNK!!!!!

You guys, the holidays are killing me.  I keep eating sugarsugarsugar and I know it is horrible and for some reason that is making it even worse!!!  I seriously have had like 9 Christmas cookies today.  It is disgusting and I am terrified about putting on a pile of weight here at the end and yet part of me keeps thinking that this is the last chance before I have to lose the postpartum weight to eat what I want.  I feel gross.  :( Is anyone else having a hard time keeping it together????

Oh that is not counting the rest of the food/carbs I have consumed.  I promise it is an absurd amount and it has basically been going on the last week.  I am on a food bender.  My poor baby.

I ate so much for dinner that it hurts to move. Ridiculous.

A third of a chocolate bundt cake in 24hrs. But it is not that bad b/c I made it with pumpkin instead of oil? Plus i have an appointment with the MW in the morning so I will have go get on the scale.
So 9 cookies is probably not that bad.

I'm dreading getting on the scale at my appt on Thursday. It's not even fair to be pregnant during the holidays. I can't stay away from the junk and sugar either.

I wouldn't stress.  A few days of overindulging won't hurt you.  (I say this as I'm on the couch munching a bag of caramel popcorn.)

And fwiw, I could eat waaaaay more while nursing since there was no baby smooshing my stomach and my metabolism was crazy fast.   And I still lost weight.

Ugh it is kind of happy to know that I am not alone in this.  I feel kind of like a gluttonous failure right now.  I was doing really well with the weight gain thing and just keeping to 1 lb per week but I am assuming that this weigh in is going to blow that out of the water.  Sigh.  I pray this all comes off after baby and I keep reminding myself that I eat more this time of year even not pregnant.  :)

I have been thinking the same thing. Not fair to have to get weighed every week or two during the holidays.

How many times in your life will you be pregnant?  I'm not saying that all pregnant women should eat fast food and doughnuts every day, but I think we should give ourselves a little bit of a pass.  And everyone overeats during the holidays.  We are just the unfortunate ones who have to get on a scale once a week ;)

Try to relax.  Don't go overboard, but allow yourself some treats.  And just think of all the calories you are saving by not drinking alcohol!  The weight will come off after baby.  I promise.  Especially if you BF.

My husband walked out of his office last night and I had just sat down to indulge inn my second serving of chocolate cake in about an hour. I made a face and said "The baby was craving some cake!!" He just laughed and said of course I blame this on the child. :) He told me to enjoy while Im still pregnant. It doesn't help that he started a low carb diet a while ago and is looking wonderfully slim. Oh well...I have 8 weeks left and I am going to enjoy them! I will worry about weight after my little girl gets here.

Exactly. I rarely am as lax about my diet as I am in pregnancy. I came home from work the other day and there was KFC that everyone had had that night.  I killed the rest. I NEVER eat KFC, it's literally been maybe 7-10 years since I've eaten anything from there, and I ate it all. It was good. I do feel gross, but having had a pregnancy before where I gained very little I STILL felt gross, so whatever...it's the holidays. I'll lose it after. I've done it before.

I feel the same! I totally ate McDonalds for the first time this pregnancy over the weekend. I couldn't help myself, I had 2 cheeseburgers and a some fries and I felt so guilty but so satisfied and I do not like fast food at all. I also seem to have a sweet tooth lately. I have been good thus far only gaining 20lbs but I am dreading being weighed on Monday.

I cannot keep it together at all either.  Good thing is that my baby is taking up so much room that I've been eating smaller meals so hopefully the calories are equalling out - at least that's what I've been telling myself ;)

Same here. Chocolate, rum cake, cookies...you name it, I've shoved it in my pie hole. It doesn't help that my birthday is a week after Thanksgiving so it's been a non stop treat fest for the whole month. I've started eating better today and am going to toss out the rest of the junk tonight. Being pregnant during the holidays is hard!
