I have 4 kids and I never gained more than 15 pounds with any of them and all of them weighed over 8 pounds. You will wind up just having extra pounds to lose later, I promise! My mother in law used to give me grief because I was pregnant at the same time as my sister in law, and she ate everything in sight and gained 60 pounds. I only gained 12. She told me my baby would be retarded, and unhealthy. Well....my son weight 8.7 and hers weighed 6.2. So who do you think got the last laugh??? Please don't fall prey to that nonsense! Those well meaning relatives are only trying to fatten you up and you will regret it!Tammy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143019911619333821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262924413598053104.post-43764161921353923712012-07-30T09:53:13.886-07:002012-07-30T09:53:13.886-07:00Try planning out your meals ahead of time and prep...Try planning out your meals ahead of time and prepping them first thing in the morning. If you keep fresh cut fruit and veggies in your fridge you are more apt to eat them then if you need to clean them when you want to eat them.<br /><br />And I agree with safire...there are some healthy things available at the stores that you can grab and go. Sushi is my go to food. Just make sure it is cooked for you!<br /><br />And there is healthier "junk food" too. Look for roasted edemame that will give you that crunch. Or all natural chips that are fried in sunflower oil and have light salt.<br /><br />If you crave chocolate, look for the Emeralds cocoa dusted almonds. They are delicious and fulfill the chocolate craving you may have.<br /><br />Sorry for the long response. Just wanted to give you some ideas of what I keep around for when I want to snack.
