Shopping at Lunch

So I have been trying to gain weight, I really have. I am 5'10", and I started this process at 125 lbs (size 2ish). Now I am at around 129, I'm not really sure. I have decided not to weigh myself everyday, as that is part of the problem!

Yesterday I struggled with the eating. I ate a lot but felt really gross and so full. I know its something I am going to have to deal with. I have to gain weight for my health and the health of my potential baby!! People say to add in "healthy" fats like peanut butter, nuts, avocado, etc, but I was already eating all of that. Unfortunately I think I will have to increase my portions and just feel super full.

Its funny, I always thought it was olympic gymnasts that didnt get their period! And here I am, definitely not anorexic, just someone who eats really healthy with a love of (moderate) exercise and a BMI of 18.5 -- bam, no period. So unexpected.

Getting to the point-- I desperately need a few new summer skirts and dresses for work. Banana Republic was having 30% sale today, so I walked over there at lunch. I found a great dress in a size 2. I really like the way it looks, but I realize when I gain weight it won't fit, and that got me down. And then I get mad at myself for thinking like that. Its a vicious cycle!
