| Mishi- I DEFINITELY appreciate your advice. I feel weird only being 18 and wanting a baby. But I have worked something out. I am not going to start trying to have a child for anther year. and then when I am pregnant I will be finishing college. Which means I can have school, have time to save up for a baby... and everything works out. So many people get married and have a child too early. And i understand that. I don't claim to be able to see the future, but I have a gut feeling, and instincts tell me that it will be a great idea. I like advice, its not like I can talk to my parents about this. I want real advice about an unbiased person. Thank you SO much. YUMMY yogurt idea too. I eat yogurt so slowly for some reason that it keeps me full. I don't know if its my imagination, but if I eat slower, I stay full longer.
Tammy: your bagel idea sounds SOOO good. I think I will go get something like that for myself. I love bagels and cream cheese.
Felici: I am definitely going to lose weight before having a baby. I am planning on trying for a baby in a year from now... So I will be able to lose a lot of weight. And it is definitely a way to keep me on track. I have been doing a lot of research on it, and being a healthy weight while pregnant is very important.
--------------------------------------------------
I have been eating pretty healthy this weekend. I made sure to make lunch at my dad's house so i made a chicken caesar salad. Better then the burgers they would have made. And it was delicious. i was so proud of myself afterwards. I took the healthy option.
As I said in the reply to Mishi.. I am planning on having a baby in a year from now. I am very happy. I figured it out, and I will be able to finish school before I have the baby, and even get an apartment. I feel like my life has made a turn-around. And it is very important to me to have a healthy pregnancy, so i am SOOO determined to lose weight. i will not be deterred.
Tomorrow I have work. Breakfast is going to be a yogurt. Lunch will probably be a granola bar. I am going to start drinking LOTS of water.
I am so happy, and determined, and proud.
Now I need Dan to get a job... So he can help me save up money.  |
