I have no self control these days. I blame Lilah

When I first found out I was pregnant I immediately ran to the scale to document my "pre-pregnancy" weight. I've never been one to obsess over how hard gravity held me down, but I think with knowing I would be gaining weight, I've been in a constant state of panic about those dreaded L.B.S! I keep telling myself "I don't wanna be one of those women that gain 60 lbs". But I feel I have no control over this situation. Lilah has already taken over!

In the beginning I was so sick that eating was not even an option so my scale stayed steady. But now that I'm feeling rather fantastic, I can feel little Lilah yanking on the umbilical cord demanding some major nom!

I eat pretty much the same way I did before. I haven't noticed that I eat any more or less. I still pretty much like the same things I did before, minus the sweets. Still can't do sweets! (Hope this doesn't mean Miss Priss will be a sour puss)

I keep getting asked if I've had any cravings. I never know how to answer this question. Do I lay in bed at night and think "dang I must have some fried chicken right now" then the answer is no. If while I'm out and pass by Back Yard Burger and smell the deliciousness and think "okay that smells REALLY good so lets go through the drive thru" then the answer is yes. I don't really "crave" anything. I just want food.

I don't know what it is about being pregnant but I swear food taste better. Maybe it just heightens your senses, but food be GOOD!

Here is a list of my current obsessions:

• Chinese Crab Rangoons - I LOVED these before I got knocked up, but I could eat this everyday all day long. I.Cant.Get.Enough!
• Fruit Popsicle's - I still don't like ice cream, but give me a Popsicle and I'm a very happy lady. I like the packages that come with orange, grape, and cherry. I will admit (kinda embarrassing) I eat two every night before bed. 
• Chocolate Shake - I know I said I don't like ice cream, and I  DONT, but recently I've been having a secret relationship with a chocolate shake :)
• Sonic's Diet Dr. Pepper with Vanilla - Can we say YUM??
• Mc Donald's Sweet Tea - Nuff said right here!

Overall I feel I'm doing pretty good. I'm definitely not depriving myself, but I'm not over doing it either. It's just hard to feel okay about gaining weight. It will all be worth it in the end when I finally get to hold her and look into her big beautiful eyes!
