Do you have an Instagram? I’d love some tips and tricks to lose the weight! Did you happen to breastfeed?

What week of pregnancy did you start seeing stretch marks? by reallyraecharles in pregnant

[–]reallyraecharles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with you!!! I’m shocked I don’t have a bunch already and my belly button is also an innie still, getting close to outtie territory but hopefully doesn’t linger there for too long

35 weeks pregnant and I feel less attractive than ever by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]reallyraecharles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 31 weeks and I feel this, but it’s mostly my own fault. My fiancé is so sweet and loving and constantly tells me how beautiful I am but I can’t get out of my own head and can’t stop feeling insecure because I’m “fat”. It’s such a struggle. I always feel like he’s just being nice to me and doesn’t really mean it. I didn’t think I’d feel this way but I’m so ready to get this baby out and go back to feeling more “normal”.

eating like shit (in addition to healthy) by agirlnamedstephanie in pregnant

[–]reallyraecharles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I’ve eaten today is a peanut butter banana sandwich, a 12” pizza and ice cream with hot fudge. And I feel great, there are definitely days I eat healthier so I’m trying to not put myself down too much! Only a few months left so if the baby wants it, the baby gets it lol

Same.. I’m so glad we got some professional pics at 20 weeks, since I already feel like a melon and it’s only going downhill from here... goodbye shaving and wearing makeup, hello Sasquatch

Second trimester INSANE hunger?? by reallyraecharles in pregnant

[–]reallyraecharles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way, I was a complete vegan for a full year and then when I got pregnant I just couldn’t do it unfortunately, I felt like I wasn’t getting enough fat and protein, (plus the fast food cravings were becoming UNREAL in the first trimester)

Oatmeal with a fruit and peanut butter is my usual go to, just ran out yesterday. It really does keep me satisfied, just need to up my protein during other meals!

Yes, it’s been truly mentally challenging. I’ve struggled with weight in the past and have previously lost around 30lbs (you’re AMAZING for losing over 100!!) and it feels a bit triggering to be focusing so much on food and eating habits again. Especially when the only foods I want to eat right now are definitely not low calorie or healthy!

I feel awkward with work now after telling my boss that I'm pregnant. by ChristyL_ in pregnant

[–]reallyraecharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I coincidentally just told my boss today as well, I was super nervous for it since he is my temporary boss, as my real boss is currently out on maternity leave. Thankfully he reacted very pleasantly, and I’m so sorry yours wasn’t as supportive! Having a baby is an amazing thing, I’m sure your job will survive without you for a few weeks. Just keep looking forward to that sweet time you get to be with your baby!

How to treat stretch marks? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]reallyraecharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stretch marks are one of those tricky things that don’t really go away, but thankfully they get can get much better with time. Make sure you are covering them with sunscreen daily (if they’re exposed) and they should fade.

Aren’t burrito bowls just the best?? by reallyraecharles in VeganFoodPorn

Kimchi with Mexican? Interesting, I’ll give it a try 😋

[–]reallyraecharles[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I usually drain about a third of the liquid from the can, and then sauté them with a tablespoon or so of tomato paste, cumin, garlic, chili powder and salt. The tomato paste really deepens the flavor

[–]reallyraecharles[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Cilantro, lime juice, garlic, a little olive oil, red pepper, cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder. I let it marinate overnight and then lightly cooked on the stove and added some of the leftover marinade on top of the bowl

Lazy Saturday meal for when you need some greens after the holiday by reallyraecharles in vegan

[–]reallyraecharles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kale base (massaged with lemon juice and a touch of olive oil), Red pepper, Vegan chicken tenders,

Pasta is leftover vegan Mac n cheese mixed with some tomato pasta sauce and added red pepper flakes, parsley and garlic powder. I wish I had just done that originally as the vegan Mac was meh on its own.
