Sabotage!

I must admit, I have been very careful about gaining weight this pregnancy.

I am watching my calories and working out, and eating healthy. I have been doing well, only gaining 2 pounds into my 15th week. With James I had already gained 14 pounds. (Thanks to a LOT of homemade banana bread).

Imagine my surprise when I got on the scale and was up a total of 6 pounds! How could I have gained 4 pounds in 24 hours? (Especially with my marathon hour-long workout yesterday?)

Hmmm . . . could it be my new best friends?


Aaahhh . .. their lovely, sweet and sour goodness! Only 140 calories in 16 pieces--5 servings per bag for a total of 700 calories.

But who would eat an ENTIRE bag at one sitting?

Why, that would be me, of course. A couple of nights a week. Me thinks the Sour Patch Kids could be sabotaging my goal to gain no more than 25 pounds this pregnancy . . .

DRAT!

Edited at noon to say: OK, I just did a re-weigh and it was some funky error. Back to only 2 pounds. Must have been my big fuzzy socks, LOL. OK, so where is that bag of SPK?

Here's what needs to happen....
"STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALE, ALLISON" You are pregnant for god sakes!

Nope. Can't do it. Not a chance. I am going to agonize over every pound. Over, and over, and over again. (Until I have a little girl, and then I will definitely throw my scale away, so I can be a good body image role model for her.)
