   As you can see, I have cheats in a sample 5 day menu during pregnancy! I'm in no ways spot on perfect. A lot of my food choices depend on what I can afford or when I have time or if I'm going out on a date or just tired as hell. I have pizza cravings and sometimes just want a McDonalds McDouble! The goal is to form good daily habits for the majority of the time.

We can always benefit from making healthier choices, but just remember, babysteps of progress are way better than making no changes at all!

When you find it hard to stick to a healthy diet, just remember that there are a good many pregnancy problems that can be prevented just by diet alone! Instead of looking at turning down a box of doughnuts as denying yourself something you think you deserve, think of it as actively protecting your baby with the choices you make.
