    You poor thing! Absolutely get on what you can. My baby is 10 weeks old and I had horrible Constipation while pregnant too. Really didn't resolve until after delivery and the introduction of stool softeners. Not sure if you can take those while preg so ask your doc.
    I ate a lot if carbs preg because I wanted quick viable energy available and they are necessary for fetal brain development. I had miscarried earlier in the year so I was taking no chances. I did struggle with morning sickness initially bue my sleeve relaxed and I was able to consume about 2x my normal. Restriction is coming back now and the weight is coming off at a descent rate. Best if luck to you and don't beat yourself up. Do what you need too to keep you and baby happy and healthy:)

    I felt the same way as you. Looking at the old "me" may be not as appealing but beautiful in its own way. Now I have lost 70lbs and a new beauty came out in all sorts of ways. You become a new image. I did make the decision for health reasons and I knew quickly I wanted to be healthy and alive for my kids.
    I learned to pick out outfits that would never fit me then so although I was feeling fine about my image I also was in a big person world. Hope this makes sense.
    Society and people are visual in many ways . Some people are and some aren't but one thing I know is you accept yourself and the right people will be in your life
