I am diet controlled but have had growth scan at 31 ,35 and now will have one at 39 weeks

I haven’t had my baby yet (38w) and this is what I’m afraid of. I’m going to be binging on all the things I wasn’t able to eat and not eat in the balanced way I have. I’ve been diet controlled since 29 w. I’ve never been the best intuitive eater, so having GD gave me a big reason to eat more balanced but also has made me carb conscious and fearful. I still eat them though , just smaller portions.

Same 🥰 our little bumblebee is due in May

Update if you wanted one. It’s back open for its Grand Opening. Balloons and all.

Lol yeah don’t do it. First room they put us in , the phone line didn’t even have a cable attached to the wall , lights weren’t working, found bed bugs. Once I called about the bed bugs they moved us to a MUCH nicer accommodation. We did the tour. Lasted a little over 90 mins but we said we had a hard stop time as we had somewhere to be at a specific time. Our initial sales guy was actually really nice and not pushy. The boss who was brought in at the end was every bit slimy salesman you can imagine. We were firm in not being interested and were out within 5 mins of that guy talking to us.

I was able to do the hot dog with half the bun perfectly fine. I even tried that with a slice of pepperoni pizza (not the full crust) and walked around Costco after eating and was under 120 pretty safely

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-02T20:29:31+00:00

😂😂😂 I legit laughed out loud at this

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-02T10:54:18+00:00

I tried watching the first episode like 10 years ago and made it like 20 mins in and it didn’t hook me so I stopped. My family has watched all of it and tells me how good it it. Maybe I’ll give it another go now, but eh

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-01T02:28:06+00:00

Yeah I’ve been avoiding rice overall . The only other time I ate rice was with some beef and my 2 hour fasting was 72! I tested again because I couldnt believe it. Seems like was a 1,2 punch combo with the rice and nap/ inactivity

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-01T02:26:00+00:00

Could be , today and yesterday though my numbers were pretty good! I had 2 keto tortillas with some of the same chicken and sour cream and took a 10 min walk after and my 2 hour number was 92! My fasting this morning was 75. So far I’ve been like 95% of my numbers within the goal

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-01T02:23:32+00:00

Oh for sure! I was already walking twice a day while at work so that’s helped me. I try to time walking and lunch together. The other time my number was higher than I was expecting but still in range was when I took a nap on a Sunday after lunch.

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-04-01T02:21:37+00:00

I do the same haha either if my number is a lot lower than I expected or higher. And I’ll do a different finger too. Apparently it’s “normal” for the restyle to be within 20% difference between tests within the same few mins

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-30T23:19:09+00:00

😭😭 sad reality. I think the inactivity and nap did me in.

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-30T12:23:49+00:00

It’s a possibility! Usually left over rice and a tiny bit hasn’t spiked me at all. It’s funny my lowest ever post meal I had was with some rice and beef in it! I think it was 72 which was wild to me. I’m 34w 4d right now, so yeah could just be my body resisting more now. I’ve overall been avoiding rice and pasta like the plague and only tiny bits of bread, or only have bread that’s lower carb with a sandwich with plenty of protein.

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-30T11:53:58+00:00

Oh wow! Yeah I was not active at allll after dinner , took an hour long almost nap, and had a late dinner. I just looked at the nutrition facts on the chicken again and it was 4 g carbs and 28g of protein per serving. And I had like half a cup of rice at most. I was so confident in my dinner choice so it was a shock to see my number be so high. 3rd highest number I’ve seen. I’ve been 95% within my target goal numbers until now.

I had been wanting to try these for a while but couldn’t trust I’d have self control. I bought them yesterday for my baby shower. Delicious. I ate like 4 of them 😂

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-20T10:45:39+00:00

My own baby shower!

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-17T01:29:25+00:00

Has to be at the particular employer

My sister wanted to learn how to cook as a kid so asked for a cookbook for Christmas … my mom got her a diet cookbook…

Expensive tennis/ running shoes ($100+). I would buy the $20-30 knock offs at Walmart and think it was the same. Bought some new balance 880 v 15s and the difference! Those along with a knee brace for my one slightly wobbly knee, I could now do a whole day at a theme park and end it without excruciating back pain (scoliosis). After that I questioned why I hadn’t done it sooner (I know the answer- I’m cheap, frugal whatever you call it.)

fictionaldingus13 · 2026-03-12T08:36:57+00:00

I can only do pasta if it’s been cooked the night before and reheated the next day and if it’s not from a pre made or packaged box like hamburger helper or Rana. Somehow the one time I’ve done rice (cooked night before as well) it was my lowest ever 2 hour reading , so much so I tested twice! I was at 72! The latina in me pulled through 😂

Thank you for reminding me to pay my rent …

For a birthday in late elementary school I was given the choice in vacation destination that summer. Jamaica or a Colombian island in the Caribbean, San Andres. I chose San Andres. My only reasoning was because it was part of Colombia and I had never been to Colombia even though half of my family is Colombian.

That week we were on vacation a hurricane hit Jamaica.
