If you want to have success in turning bad habits around, take a close look at your reward system. Many "splurge" by going out to eat foods that are not part of their new lifestyle, only to be sucked back in to the old ways again.


 

Wah? Gaining Weight Can be Good?

Gaining a healthy amount of weight may help you have a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery. It also may help you have fewer pregnancy complications, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, constipation, and backaches.

Gaining too little weight during your pregnancy makes it hard for your baby to grow properly. Talk to your health care provider if you feel you are not gaining enough weight.

If you gain too much weight, you are more likely to have a longer labor and more difficult delivery. Also, gaining a lot of extra body fat will make it harder for you to return to a normal weight after you have your baby. If you feel you are gaining too much weight during your pregnancy, talk with your health care provider.

Do not try to lose weight if you are pregnant. If you do not eat enough calories or a variety of foods, your baby will not get the nutrients he or she needs to grow.

How much weight should I gain during my pregnancy? Talk to your health care provider about how much weight you should gain during your pregnancy. General weight-gain recommendations listed below refer to pre-pregnancy weight and are for women expecting only one baby.

If You Are:

Underweight You should gain: about 27 to 40 pounds
Normal Weight You should gain: about 25 to 35 pounds
Overweight You should gain: about 15 to 25 pounds
Obese You should gain: about 15 pounds or less
