Weigh over my head

I have lost yet another pound. Sigh.

I started this pregnancy at around 168 lbs. Even before conception, that's what I was at. Pretty leveled out. I am currently at 162 lbs.

I haven't done any throwing up from nausea, heck, I haven't been nauseated in over a month! I've been eating regular meals (forcing myself to, mind you, as my food aversions are still painfully apparent.) I just do not know what to do.

"What to Expect..." says that I should have a goal of around a pound and a half of weight gain a week. And sadly I am going the opposite direction. I have tried drinking Ensure for some added nutritional supplementation, I've been eating out a lot what with birthdays and everything, I crave junk food often, I eat tons of breads and cereals... I'm stuck.

So, people keep looking at me and saying "Your face looks thinner." That's because it IS thinner! The baby, as the doctor says, is doing just fine, and taking the nutrients and fats that it needs to be a-ok. However, since for some reason I am failing to consume the appropriate amount of calories, the baby is taking what it needs from wherever it needs to. My face, my thighs, my chicken-wing arms, (not my boobs, they are doing just fine on the sizable scale.) Matt keeps joking with me and saying I'm not going to have any baby-fat to lose once the baby comes! Maybe I'll actually be trimmer once this is all over than I was to begin with!

No. Sadly I do not think that'll be the case. I'm sure I'll start packing on the pounds in the coming months. But for right now, I am going backwards and am kinda' stuck on what to do about it.

Bring on the Big Mac?
