I’ve known some women who ate fat free/low fat food while pregnant. They even “dieted” if they gained more than 20 pounds. They gave birth to sickly babies and had trouble with the babies health. Eat for you and the little baby you are growing. I would rather give a baby a good, healthy start than to fit right back into my jeans after birth. You can lose the weight later... after you have that little angel in your arms!
Fluffy is desirable for pregnant ladies. Keeps the chickadee all safe and cozy.
Absolutely not! :)
I’ll go back to Weight Watchers after a while, although I’m not going to be trying to get to meetings in mid-winter with a newborn baby. After Easter will be fine, when I’ll be taking the kids to the fitness center to get ready for summer swim team, anyway ... and I’ll expect to be my usual size by next fall.
I’ve had some pregnancies where I was much heavier. I’m not making any special effort to avoid gaining weight now, but I think there’s just not as much available for me to eat, with so much competition. By the time I sit down to supper, some of the boys are already asking for thirds!
Two of my sisters liked helping out with the meals. I liked reading. :)
Most of the Offspring help with meals in some way, but they can still eat a huge amount before I manage to sit down.
Blech. Why would you use Splenda when you could use Stevia? Splenda is not only poison, it's wretched tasting poison. Stevia tastes good and is natural.
That’s difficult. One of my brothers was like that. He’s now 6’2. He was overweight when he was younger, but slimmed down as he grew older and taller. Many teens and young adults can eat whatever they like, particularly if they’re involved in sports. My mother had a tough time keeping food in the house. My brothers could eat a loaf of bread in no time at all.
I can’t do soy milk, low fat anything or just use egg whites and i’m a skinny chick. I can change a few of the recipes around to make them good though!
We have the tall, skinny one, and the even taller, heavy one, and the small ones, like army ants. They eat amazing amounts. I just figure they’re all growing taller, while I’m not, so they can have more.
