Hi, Everyone
My name is Jamie, I am a newly single mother. I have a son, who just turned three this week, a daughter, who is 20 months, and I am 15 weeks pregnant. I was doing really great before I found out I was pregnant, ever since I found out, haven't been able to stick to a healthy eating plan. I did just leave my husband of three years (we were together four) about a month ago and had to move back into my father's house. It has been a very embarrassing and humbling experience for me. My father is very critical and expects me to be perfect. Ironically, I have had a history of eating disorders my whole life. Both anorexia and compulsive overeating. I have been stuck in compulsive overeating since about 2005. It has been harder dealing with all this pregant. It is hard to know what is a pregnancy craving and what is a eating disordered craving. I have a food plan that was made for me during my first pregnancy, via my recovery nutritionist. I haven't been able to stick with it, but I haven't given up. My last binge day was Oct 1st which was also my first day of recommitting my abstinence. I didn't want to have to wait till the next day to do so. I hope to find support and motivation to live a healthy lifestyle for both me and my children.
