TTC pink food thread for November

[Out of the Blue]

Hey , girls! Out of the blue, I use that ranch dressing too, and those coco pops cakes from whole foods! I feel like I eat a lot more food than anyone else quantity wise, but my calories and fat are still really low. I hope I don't shoot myself in the foot. The problem is I can't skip breakfast. Glad you all are doing well! Way to go on the weight for you both!

Aren't those coco pops way better than rice cakes? Great for the girl sway!!! So if you shop at T.J.s, do NOT try the roasted seaweed snacks...They are soooo addictive! I can't believe I'm cheating on my sway with seaweed...of all the things I could indulge in, I choose seaweed, lol...

Also, do what you can about skipping breakfast but if you can't do it, it's okay. If skipping dinner or having an earlier dinner is easier, do that instead since it has the same effect. Even if none of those options work, it won't ruin your sway. Sounds like you're doing a great job keeping the other stuff low so just do what you can so you can stay on the sway. Keep it up, girl!!!

Hey, Zan! Can't wait for your scan!!!

I'm crapping my pants! My sister is coming with me to help look after DS3 but now DH has decided he's annoyed that he's not coming so is going to try and get a couple of hours off work so they'll both be there - no pressure on me then!!

I'm on the VA side of D.C. actually but we're close!!! I think a lot of swayers wait until the week before O to skip breakfast since it can be really tough if you're used to eating. I struggled with it during my first sway in the summer but drinking coffee w/rice milk really helped out a lot. This time around I found it easier to skip breakkie b/c after swaying last time, I was never hungry in the a.m. after I got preg and never went back to my usual big morning meals.
