I have been so good on my diet all day then got really stressed out with DS terrible behaviour that I ate lots of naughty things.
(some pizza, ice cream, choc icing)
I'm so cross with myself. I do so well in the day but then it gets to tea time and I'm starving and then I start picking at the boys tea and then it all goes to pot:(
Does anyone else feel like it's too hard?
Sometimes I think that i might just give up with swaying at all, I'm not doing that much anyway.
I have been doing this on and off for sooo long now I think at the back of my mind I don't think I'm not going to get pregnant because of my endo so it makes me not bother.
It's too hard swaying with fertility issues:(
If i could get pregnat at the drop of a hat I think it would give me more incentive.
I take my hat off to those who sway for months on end it must be soul destroying:(
Sorry to be a big moaner I just don't know what to do I wish I could get it all out of my head!

DON'T GIVE UP!!! We're here for you! Some days, it gets so rough & I hate that there are no guarantees even if we have the so-called "perfect sway" I've been struggling too since I'm finding it so tough to stay within the low protein guidelines even though I don't eat meat. I have to keep reminding myself I'm doing better than I was before. Any bit helps! I'm so sorry about your fertility issues :sad: I'm sending you lots of :HH: & good thoughts!

Just posted on your other post!! Diet aside, because I think you're being hard on yourself, we all fall off the band wagon sometimes!!! How long have you been trying? Remember LOTS of people get a girl after several boys without doing anything different, if you really want to stop you still might get your girl. Good luck in making your decision, stick with it and don't look back either way, x

Thankyou!
I'm not going to give up i can't but i'm not going to be so hard on myself if I have a bad day as long as i do the best I can. I have been doing this on and off for two years now.
My endo has got worse hence only a modified girl diet anyway as too much dairy and low nutrients makes the pain worse.
I feel that I might get a girl without swaying and sometimes i doubt it works at all. Other days I feel like I will deffo get another boy and it will be fun with three boys. I pick out the name for him and everything!
At the end of the day i would be lucky to have any baby so should just enjoy ttc as this will be the last time.
I need to chill out! It's just so hard to do when you are hungry and just want to eat normal food!
Thankyou for you support i really appreciate it and really hope you get your girls you 100% deserve it x

3 boys really is fun - I spent this evening dancing to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack with mine, it was hilarious :D I would never exchange my DS3 for a girl and I know I'd love another little boy just the same. Of course, I also understand the need to at least try for a pink baby. Don't be hard on yourself, you've been doing this an awful long time x

This diet really tough, and as I said elsewhere, you should never beat yourself up for having a bad day. I'm sure if I fed my sons my favourite foods, I'd end up cheating too. Instead, I'm making them things that I either don't like or that I'm just not in love with. They're also surprising me my eating and liking a lot of the girl-friendly meals I'm making. If it's too hard for you to watch them eat pizza, then I say stop serving them pizza - either that or go for a walk while dh eats supper with them so you're not tempted. There's no way I could stop myself from eating pizza if everyone was eating it in front of me!

It is hard and no denying it! Since you know when your tough times are, is there any way you can plan little cheats for that time of day and stave off the big ones? Like, if you know you're going to be tempted, a small bit of fat-free, sugar free choc. or a diet ice cream bar will satisfy the craving before you go overboard and eat everyone's tea. Big cheats only happen when you feel deprived. Jsut include it in your overall totals for the day and don't worry about having a snack, this is a snack with a valuable purpose.
