I saw a study somewhere (I think on Eades blog) that overindulgence on carbs while pregnant damages your baby's pancreas. The damage makes them have trouble with insulin and greatly increases the chances that they will be overweight.

I did this to my daughter 10 years ago and although she is still slim...I know she is carb sensitive and will have to be extra careful her whole life.

Don't do this to you or your baby. It is so easy to not worry about it during pregnancy. It is the moms that worry and are watchful that gain appropriate amounts. You will regret it if you don't. Be extra vigilent.

Hopefully that motivates you. Try and imagine how you will feel if you have to watch this child you are carrying struggle with weight their whole life because you thought it was too hard to not eat sugar.

I say this is tough love....not to be mean, because I know what you really want is to get back on track.
