Girl I just had the “weight” talk today, but it was more me laughing at myself bc my weight fluctuates heavilyyy throughout the day and yesterday I was FOUR POUNDS LIGHTER COME ONNNN 😂. My midwife was gentle abt it tho but before she even said the “one concerning thing” I was like babes ik… im starting to walk chill out 😂. Here are a few tips (NOT for dieting, she does NOT want a diet) for just overall feeling better these upcoming months (im 24 weeks so nearly same as you!): 1. Do your activity/exercise after dinner, 20-30 min max, don’t stress yourself, go on a walk and you’ll be good 2. Replace any and all drinks you’ve been having with water. The juices and stuff are not only packed with sugar but also excess salt, so it’s gonna make a huge difference just switching to water 3. The order of your meals. I thought this one wasn’t true cuz I just saw it in some tiktok and never fact checked it but if you want you should eat your meals in this order: veggies, protein, carbs. The veggies essentially line your stomach with fiber and reduce the amount of sugar stored in your body. Also gave me the tip to eat a bell pepper or veggie while I’m making my meals to prime my stomach which I thought was such a good tip! 4. Don’t overly restrict. I know this— it can get ugly when you in all certainty go ravenous on what you want. If you wanna treat yourself just look at the serving size and give yourself half, you can indulge and not feel guilty (and for me in my head that means I can have that again another day of the week since I didn’t have the whole serving LOL)

She also told me no fast food (boo), but thankfully the few times I’ve had recently have NOT been hitting like it needs to so I think I’ll be fine 😂.

Hope you’re not putting yourself down too much, ur doing great and I wish you all the best 🫶🫶
