6 Weeks

My baby is finally the size of what we actually call it! 
Our little sweet "P", get it?! Hah. 

Hopefully there really is a baby the size of a sweat pea in there. I'm getting a little anxious for our first ultrasound on Friday. Praying we see the heartbeat. 

So yesterday I had a bit of a rough time. I should probably preface this with the fact that I am clinically diagnosed with OCD and food happens to be one of my "things." I'm a health freak but love all things fatty and fried. See below:


Sorry, I got carried away... You get the point.. 

It's a constant battle in my head.. I hate it. I eat pretty darn healthy most of the time, but even when I "cheat" I can't fully enjoy it because I will immediately feel guilty and mentally bash myself while I'm eating it and continue to do so for at least 12 hours. I am constantly thinking about what I just ate, what was in it, the nutrition values, what I'm going to eat next, and what I really want to be eating.. which is McDonalds. LOL It also doesn't help that I have a lot of stomach issues that limit what foods I should ingest. 

Just before lunch time I had a meeting with my boss that ran a longer than expect. By the time I got out of there my stomach was probably eating itself and I felt so weak. I was STARVING... I really shouldn't say that... I always picture a starving Ethiopian child with a distended belly when I hear people say that. Horrible. Anyway, I immediately popped a handful of almonds in my mouth and headed out to grab something. I almost felt dizzy I was so hungry. So I thought what are my options... and FAST. Burger King is the closest. Yum. Well, I'd rather not gain 100 lbs with my pregnancy so next option, Publix. A grocery store. One with a deli, salads, fruit, and other good healthy options. Right?

I get there and see watermelon, my favorite fruit, is BOGO. Holla! Then I head to the deli to get a salad. That's when shit got crazy. I realized I can't have the turkey cobb salad because it has turkey deli meat. Fine, then I decide I'll just get the greek. Oh. Nope. Not that one. That has feta cheese on it. Then I go to look at their "plated" food options.. all fried. Then I look at the subs which I can't have because of the bread. I seriously almost started crying.. I was desperate. Literally the only thing I could have bought was a whole damn rotisserie chicken. That shit wasn't flying. All this pregnant hoe wanted was some healthy food that she was allowed to eat. I was almost in tears. This is going to be a long road. I pulled out my phone to call someone to bitch and talk it out and figure out a lunch I could actually eat and... oh yeah.. no one knows yet. I realize now I could have asked a few people but my brain wasn't functioning properly at the time. Temporary insanity, ya know. I think my face started to look a little something like this. 
(don't ask how I even have a picture of myself like this)

Because people started starring at me. I was seriously so upset and at this point probably delusional.

After circling around the same food section 1384738746230980 times I finally left with butternut squash and apple coup, chickpea salad, and Mediterranean lintel salad, and watermelon.

Whatever.

  1. Awww honey! <3 You can have deli meat, just heat it up in the mircowave for 10 seconds and then let it cool if you don't want hot meat.

    Boars head is actually ok to eat, I checked with the doctor and the company. Extremely low risk due to how they package their meats.

    As for Feta , Girl, I love me some feta. As long as it's pasteurized feta, you can have it. =)

    Woooosahhhhh <3
