Over the past 6 monthes or so i have packed on about 15lbs. The main reason is i changed my eating habits from being a vegan to not being a vegan. i'm afraid that i will continue to gain weight and that scares me. i'm very unhappy with my weight gain but Master likes me the way that i am and will not let me diet. The main reason for not letting me diet is because i will be trying to concieve at the end of the year and She doesnt want anything to mess up my cycles. i'm just a total wreck over my weight gain. i go through my closet and half of my stuff just isn't fitting anymore. Any subs or slaves out there feel the same? i'm just venting and looking for some support. i do love myself, but i just don't feel as sexy as i used to.

Are you allowed to work out at all? Will it actually stop you from conceiving? Maybe some research needs to be done?
I have no idea, but it is an idea. If it won't harm how can she stop you from dieting a little?

Not sure if exercising will affect my concieving or not. And not sure about lite dieting either. See, i will be useing a donor. And i need to keep track of my ovulation and Menstrual cyles. i do know that dieting can affect your cycles, and so can extreme exercising. Maybe i could ask my Doctor about lite exercising such as increasing my walking or mabe taking up water aerobics or something.

I've never tried, the limited knowledge I have about it. If you're using a donor they give you some test for ovulation right? You keep track but under their supervision?
They don't want to do the procedure unless it is going to work. So, I'd assume that even if your ovulation varies a bit you should still be ok.

I know a guy in Van Nuys who can clone himself for you....I've often thought of going that route. Yes, I'm into science a bit too much.

Anyway I'm far from an expert but it may help you to think things out a bit by hearing others thoughts.

Hearing others thoughts do help quite a bit. Thanks so much for your reply

Talk to your GYN. Exercise is ENCOURAGED before and during pregnacy unless you have some medical problems that would interfere with your/the baby's health. The stronger & more flexible you are the easier term you will have, the easier the birth will be & the quicker you will recover.

There are some things you can safely avoid which will help you maintain your weight as well as prevent some common problems during pregnacy like excessive weight gain, edema, diabeties.

Dodge the sugars, processed foods, white flour like the plague. They are bad for you anyhow. Want less calories & fat? choose lean cuts of meat & fish. Get no sugar added peanut butter. Stock up on your veggies & fruits - especially fresh. Use olive, sesame & coconut oil & throw away the corn oil & hardened fats (like Crisco) start taking a good multivitamin (again talk to your DR before taking any suppliments).

You more than likely WILL gain some weight no matter what you do when you become pregnant, this is 100% normal as your body will be gearing up for breast milk production.

I'd be more concerned with GAINING weight before even getting pregnant (no matter what your D would prefer) and more interested to hear what your doctor said.

You'd have to be doing some pretty extreme (triathalon level if I'm remembering right) exercise & have a very lean body fat to disrupt your periods. Most folks doing some walking, jogging & normal activities/exercising aren't going to be that extreme.

A sensible answer isn't really possible without a little more information. Were you underweight before putting on the 15 lbs? Is your general health good now? Are you consulting with a GYN in preparation for the pregnancy? Exercise is ESSENTIAL for pregnant women, but you'll have to do a bit of research to see what's appropriate.

I'd be really concerned about getting pregnant if my body fat index was close to a menstral cycle halt. For the sake of your child AS WELL as yourself, do more reading and talk to your doctor. And unless your Master is a physician, (or maybe even if she is?) she should be advocating the same kind of thing for you.

Good luck -

You've pretty much described the South Beach plan which Hubby and I have been following or 2 yrs. It's very healthy.

no i am already 30lbs overweight according to the eight chart thingie. i am 5'5" and it says between 135 and 150 and i am 180. The weight gain has really gotten to me. And putting my weight loss on hold untill after i have conceived and had the baby scares me. i always thought that it would be a good idea to shed some pounds before trying to get pregnant.

i am in good health. i will be seeing a new GYN next month, so hopefully all my questions will be answered.

The weigh gain is just so depressing though.

Something I found worked well and was really simple was this--
Eat 2/3 of what you would normally eat :) Sounds dumb, but I found that mostly I ate more than what I really wanted, anyway.

Also, I replaced snacks with liquid stuff, either diet/cafeen free lemonade stuff, non-fat chocolate milk, fruit smoothies stuff like that.

The biggest thing I learned, too, is not to beat yourself up if you "screw up" just enojy what you're eating and move on.

i went through a year of fertility treatments. Granted i wasn't going the donor route but going with meds to help me ovulate. Even back then i was a bit overweight but my reproductive endocrinologyst said it wasn't a problem as long as i was exercising (normal amount, not excessive), eating right (regular size meals not large portions or dinky portions), took prenatal vitamins (high in folic acid which is important to new fetuses), and ate meals regularly (4-6, 3 being normal meals and 1-3 being healthy snacks). your fine i would think, but as the others mentioned your dr. will be the best judge of that. Carefully diet if you want, carefully exercise if you want, just make sure you are getting all your essential nutrients.

Excercise is essential, no matter if you are overweight or just right - I have a friend who is maybe 103 pounds, and with NO muscle tone. She looks awful, poor girl. Take one or two less bites of whatever you are eating, and walk 2 or 3 miles a day, don't forget to stretch for warming-up and cooling-down, and it will come off. Best of luck to you!

Just a note - stretching IS a must but MOST beneficial AFTER aerobic exercise, not before.

Not that I've personally been faced with the whole pregnancy thing, but it's my understanding that the healthier overall you are, the better it is for the child. So moderate exercise and healthy eating is the best way to go.

My girlfriend finds a very simple exercise program is walking each day to the mailbox -- 3/4 of a mile away across hilly terrain. She does it during lunch, carrying something to snack while walking (a hunk of fresh cabbage for instance). A slightly longer walk on flat terrain should do the same. My girlfriend found just this amount of exercise each day for a month helped her lose weight.

The diet recommendations mentioned earlier are also important.

Hope this helps -- good luck!

I run. When I'm specifically stressed out about weight, I run until I am absolutely exhausted, then I sleep. It's helpful to me anyway.

While getting in better shape will make you feel better long term, there are things you can do to cheer you up and make you feel sexier now.

Buyone or two nice outfits from a thrift store or on consignment that fit you now . You can buy a nice outfit for less than ten dollars there, think of a bright color that will set off your hair and eyes.

Another thing to make you feel sexier now is a day at a spa, if that is too expensive have a spa day at home. Pamper yourself with lotion, face mask, manicure etc.

I love silk sheets , just laying on them make me feel sexy.

Practice a sexy way of walking that will flaunt your new voluptuousness.

Sexy is a matter of mind, try some fun role playing. Think Mae West or someone who oozes sexuality to you.

Try to get outside in the sunshine, that really helps fight off depression!

Hope some of this cheers you up!

I agree with the recommends for the doctors visits.... but also see if there's a physical activity you can enjoy for 30 minutes or so..... Walking, dancing, Frisbee in the park, aerobics class, whatever...

have some fun and you'll feel better. Keep doing it and the weight'll manage itself...

if you feel you need a more structured approach, Weight Watchers has some good ideas on menu planning, portion control, and excercise.

As you enter pregnancy there'll be a list of foods to avoid. You can check that out when the time is right though...
