Comments regarding DW's diet changes- Skipped breakfast, had coffee not tea (was a tea addict before) no snacking ate lots of sugar free gum to help keep hunger at bay. Used to eat super healthy but went for lower value nutrition foods such as toasted tea cakes with butter for lunch instead of avocado on toast. Stopped snacking on nuts but did struggle to not eat some crisps with my glass of wine whilst making dinner :-/ no meat except small portion of chicken once a week or a fish cake once a week.

Things that make me feel great about my sway: The diet in general, skipping breakfast and the fact my bmi was lower than when I conceived my sons. This is my 2nd month TTC and my sons were conceived 1st month TTC. Drinking coffee instead of tea.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Wish I had done the diet even longer. Always felt in the 2ww that I wasn't as strict as b4 ovulation and during ovulation with diet either. Had the big O on my attempt when had previously not allowed myself on purpose!!! I didn't always count my calories and percentages but stuck to my usual daily diet. Any treat I had makes me nervous. Being a usual Martha in my daily life makes me nervous.
Things worth mentioning: I'm so grateful to everyone who has cheered me on and given information I never knew prior to this site. Thank you so much atomic for this site and for your research and time you give to us all. I feel like I will never hear the words it's a girl said to me but at least with Gender Dreaming I have a better chance that I might have done alone.
