Overeating

Ugh! There's one other aspect of pregnancy I could gladly forego. That's the apparent inability to eat in any sort of ordinary capacity. Because this little one is currently sitting right at the top (I always seem to carry high, regardless of supposed gender) and therefore pushing right into my stomach. It makes eating a chore because I *want* to eat, but rarely have the desire or the capacity. If I eat a normal portion, I'm miserable and don't want to eat for the rest of the day. I could try 'grazing' I suppose, but the idea of snacking throughout the day does not appeal to me. Plus I'm less likely to snack on healthy foods when I graze. So what inevitably happens is that I have no interest in eating until quite late, then I eat and have no interest again until the following day. Not good, I know. Still I can't seem to help it.
