GettinFit Thank you! I count calories, but I try to eat protein, veggies, and some fruit. I try to watch starchy carbs and heavy sugar.

Well, this cycle started off so screwy. I was so stressed. I kept trying to ovulate. When i thought i had finally ovulated, I started to AGAIN. And lo and behold i DOUBLE OVULATED. well PRE TTOM was getting to be real hassle. i was bloated, tired, crampy. my hormones were crazy.

I decided on the 20th to take a pee test. just in case. I saw a very faint pink line. I thought it was just a cheapy test problem. On the 21st. I got a pink smudge. I thought it was defective.

On the 23rd. My dad's B-day. I went into town after clinicals. I was hungry. I decided to buy a fun dinner for my dad's b-day. I was going to get pizza, then changed my mind to chinese food, then changed my mind to PIZZA AND CHINESE food. Then decided Fried chicken also sounded good. Not to mention Ice cream and the Chocolate Cake we had for my friend's little's girl b-day was sounding really good.

I tore into EVERYONE'S side orders on the way home. Was feeling really angry at myself for displaying binge type behavior. But something told me, i hadn't peed in 4 hours. why not take another pee test.

Yep, i was pregnant. I was unsure until my dad's b-day. But i knew for sure on that day. It was special to me.

So i am thinking about doing a controlled weight gain. I think as long as i get lots of nutrients from vitamins an supplements, i can eat what I am craving, but i have very little appetite now.

PS. I need you ladies to keep me accountable. I am having an aversion to fruit and vegetables. Fried chicken and especially the skin SOUNDS so good to me. That and beans.

i don't have m/s. just a lack of appetite really.

Congratulations Jen! I hope all goes well for you :)

Congratulations! Soooo happy for you!

:bravo: :cp: :spin: :carrot: :dancer::woohoo::congrat::broc::cheer::cheer2: :dance: :cb:

Congratulations Jen.

Thanks Ladies. I still am going to be here.

Diana, congrats on ONE DER LAND. WOOT!!!

Congratulations, Jen!

Jen Congratulations! Didn't I just ask you about that and you said no way. :D

Kris Thank you. :hug:

Gettingfit Try calorie counting for a month and see what happens. If you don't like it, you can always go back to counting points with WW's. It's all about what works for you.

Sunday foods:

Breakfast: FAIL. Unless you count a glass of milk.

Lunch: Roast chicken, roast vegetables, gravy and peas. AND... I cooked the entire thing myself! I've never done a roast before but everyone liked it and demolished the lot so I'm going to feel a little smug about that.

Dinner: Cup of coffee and two small slices of gluten free ginger cake.

Now I've got a vodka and coke and am watching a programme about people who compulsively shoplift. Apparently it's related to self-esteem, or something. Interesting.

Miss Vick- sounds like you did a great job! Don't feel bad about your "slip up". You actually made some great choices and you resisted the major slip ups. Job well done in my book!

Jen- congrats!! How exciting! I'm so envious- my husband and I can't have children :(

Sacha- interesting idea with the coffee and scoop of vanilla protein powder. I'm going to have to try that- sounds good!

Ok, I did pretty good today! My church had a potluck dinner after service and I resisted the temptation! Not an easy feat when you've got fried chicken and potato salad and desserts. So here was my Day 5:

Breakfast: Slimfast shake
AM Snack: Chicken noodle Cup-a-soup
Lunch: Chicken Romano Fresco lean cuisine
PM Snack: My mom's leftover coleslaw, sweetened with splenda with no mayo
Supper: Rosemary Chicken lean cuisine
Snack: Cup-a-soup or peach sugar free jello

Question for you guys: Have you noticed a "taste" in your mouth? When I'm not eating or drinking, I've noticed that for the past 2 days I've had kind of a sweet vinegar taste... wondering if that is normal??

Hi Everyone!

Wysteria Sounds like you cooked a great meal!

ravenjeh Hmm, not sure on the sweet vinegar taste. Could you be having problems with acid?
