My diet has seemed to have taken over my thoughts these days. I think about making sure that I'm getting enough carbs, protein, calories, etc. No question that I'm one of the few women who is almost 24 weeks pregnant and has lost a significant amount of weight in these 24 weeks...17-20 pounds, depending on the day. I know, I know, I was overweight to begin with, but it still seems crazy. It's also weird to watch the scale go down and I can't wear my non-maternity clothes.
However, I wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm in love with this little girl that I know is growing inside of me. I love every single movement that I feel. I love hearing her heartbeat. I love dreaming of what she is going to look like, what her personality will be, and the plans that God has for her. I know they are good plans, they are plans to prosper.
So, whenever I have a craving, like frosted mini-wheats or pancakes or waffles or oatmeal, I think about how much I love this little girl and I can "just say no" to the cravings. The motivation of keeping her healthy and doing what I can do to help her is the best motivation I've ever had to stick to a diet. My blood sugar numbers have been good and I know that she is healthy and growing. Thank You, God, that I am healed and that my baby is a whole, healed, healthy baby girl!
