Frustrated

I'm getting tired of calorie counting. There, I said it. I realize that no one is forcing me to, but I know if I don't keep logging I will over eat. I'm annoyed with myself for not having more self-control. I'm annoyed that being pregnant requires gaining weight. I guess this is probably just a rough morning, but I needed to vent. Any cheerful comments are welcome! Sorry to be such a downer.

I hear ya. I am in the same boat. I am getting sick of calorie counting when I am not even losing weight.. like what's the point??! And if I don't do it, I'll lose the habit of doing it, after delivery this wouldn't do me any good.
I think the best thing is do continue to do it so you still have the habit and are able to lose weight quickly after pregnancy. Just getting back on track takes so much effort.
I admit I only log my breakfast and rest of the day, I eat so much that I lose count of my calories and food

I am kind of tired of doing it too but then again I do feel better during this pregnancy then my other ones. Keeping my protein/carbs/fat in a good ratio is definitely beneficial for me and so far the weight gain is good too compared to my other pregnancies.
I am in a gaining cycle right now though so my crazy hunger is making me go over my calories (which I still have at maintenance and I'm 24 weeks tomorrow) and I find it really weird that I gain 2lb a week some weeks when I only ate about 800-1000 cals extra for that same week. My body is going insane. lol...0 -
Im right with you mate. We are pregnant though, we need to do whats right for our little ones. If it means eating more for the next few months then so be it. Its not for ever, we can get back to our awesome pre pregnancy body after our little bundle of joys arrive

What you are feeling is normal!!! As soon as I hit third trimester and the more weeks that go by, I feel like the pregnancy has a life of it's own and my body is doing what it wants. It's frustrating to be gaining even without eating all of the extra calories. It is even weirder to me to gain while eating a ton of lean protein, fruits and veggies. I ate more crap when I wasn't pregnant and maintained a BMI of 20. Even though I look in the mirror and for the most part only see my belly getting huge, it is so weird to see myself in pictures from right before I found out I was pregnant and think, wow I was in great shape, or will my waist ever be that tiny/will I ever have abs that defined again?
I really do believe that all of the work will pay off....it's going to be easier to get back into shape because we've stayed active...and even if we haven't or start to gain more, we'll get it off soon enough....we just need to nurture these babies and give them what they need!0 -
I am getting frustrated as well. I'm tired of always worring about what I eat and taking the effort to make healthy choices over giving in to my cravings. It is really hard to watch the scale creep up especially on the weeks where you have huge jumps. I really can't wait until I have this baby and can get back to more intense exercising and get my weight back down. I just have to remember that I'm not just feeding myself, I'm also feeding my baby. I need to start now with teaching healthy eating habits, it all starts with me.
You're probably just having a rough day and tomorrow will be better. I feel like I'm constantly on an emotional roller coaster. One day I feel amazing and the next I'm so down. Pregnancy does weird things to you!0 -
Thanks ladies. Feeling better after some time in the sun today. 0
