I counted four of us. Three other ladies that I know of that are regularly blogging on this site…
…three beside me that are pregnant. It’s a relief to find that as I thought becoming pregnant meant I should get off and find a site for pregnant women somewhere else, switching to discussing antenantal appointments and food cravings and weight gain (lol).
Instead I just want to hang here, really, because the only thing that I need to keep a tap on is that I continue to eat healthy food and exercise. I need this site because I’ve met some really lovely people on here and I want to keep having all my buddies around. I originally joined this site when I had already lost most of the weight I needed to lose (because I didn’t come across it sooner, unfortunately) but was still battling some minor and some major eating disorders. I was a binge eater. No breakfast, light lunch, starving by dinner time, emptying the fridge, guilt trips, depression, sugar rushes, caffeine addiction… The choice of foods wasn’t what I wanted it to be either. I’ve managed to find a healthy eating lifestyle since being on this site and have almost settled into it, though I still fall off sometimes. I’ve also found a good exercising rhythm and need to stick to it.
Now, if that’s not the best thing for getting through a healthy pregnancy I don’t know what is. This site is holding me accountable. Your successes are holding me accountable. Your troubles are keeping me grounded and are helping me not feel such a loser when I fail or fall into a depressive spell. And if I get a feeling that I have helped someone get through the day a bit it helps me through hard times, too.
So what’s new. I’m 15 weeks pregnant now, third of the way. I’ve started to grow out of my clothes (check out the photos). Just today I had difficulty buttoning my pants, the pants that sort of hung on my hips before… and I couldn’t button up my tailored jacket. Here we go. The baby for whom I had been wandering where it was until now is finally taking the floor. At least I hope it’s the baby and not just me getting fat.
I’m so glad you didn’t leave! I would have missed you terribly and yes I am still going to support you no matter what! Glad your exercising and taking care of yourself. That will also help when it;s time for the baby to come! So happy for you Lid and you know I wish you all the best. Don’t worry about clothes being too small, not buttoning pants etc. your becoming a new mommy its suppose to happen lol All the best to you!!!
Yup, there are four of us preggers now! Been keeping it a secret or what?? 15 weeks! That is wonderful! I’m staying for the same reasons you are. I need to focus on healthy eating and exercise even more now! I’m glad you managed to lose your weight before getting pregnant. That is way healthier for you and the baby! I’m at 7 weeks (tomorrow). Still at the same weight, so that is cool I think. I don’t see the doc until the end of Nov.
I had NO IDEA!!! Congrats!!!!
So happy for you!! Glad you stayed with us, you healthy girl you. Missed you. I have been behaving myself. Down to 149. Since I wear tunics and long unfitted dresses maybe I should send you a few. I love the new maternity clothes. We tried to hide the fact we were pregnant. Hard to do when all your babies weigh in at more then 9 pounds. I love the new way of really showing your tummy! Stay healthy and ENJOY. Some of the best times of my life. Love, Marge
Congratulations
I’m happy to hear you are sticking around.

Yes I admit I have been hiding it lol and only told it to some of my dear buddies. I’m an old chick and wanted to get through the first trimester before even telling my family.
You are looking great. I’m so glad that you’ve stayed here instead of dropping us. Take care of yourself and that little one.
Finally, I can congratulate you publicly!

People helping people… it is the best feeling. Thank you for your masterful words and your kindness always (even the whip
)
Glad you are here though I never felt you were far. Take care of you and your little one. You are doing well with the food and exercise. Never be sad for long ok? You are not alone. Literally
Tea cheers and hugs
Keep on eating oranges and maybe your baby will turn out like me and want nothing but them when he grows up!
