[quote=Anonymous]In a thread I was reading yesterday a lot of women noted how their overall health was probably better during pregnancy due to vitamins and eating so much better than before.  I have to admit, this made me feel a touch guilty.  Pre pregnancy I was distance running, biking, doing yoga and eating pretty much the Wisdom diet minus the required grains and plus a good bit of caffeine and wine.  Now I'm just doing long walks and slowly getting back to the gym (had fertility issues and am still very early so afraid to hit the pavement like I did before) and while eating lots of fruit and veggies still am also finding myself eating things I wouldn't have before ... a handful of corn chips here, a late night chunk of chocolate (and then another one maybe with a little peanut butter too) there, etc. etc.  I'm not surviving on wings and nachos (though I actually did have some nachos for the first time in ages now that I think about it) or anything but just feel like I'm eating more than necessary and the extras aren't such high quality choices.  Basically my usually strong will power seems to be in the toliet but with a history of restricting (and while currently expecting two if nothing goes wrong) I'm afraid to draw any lines in the sand or make firm rules (though the late night snacking can probably go).

So, that was a long ramble I guess but just wondering if anyone else felt their diet wasn't actually better during pregnancy and for those who were making much better choices, what kinds of things kept you motivated and away from ice cream?  Or did you just eat really crappily before and this was incentive to do better ;) ?[/quote]
