I'm growing. Steadily. And with the passing of each day, it becomes obvious that my regular clothes are stubbornly refusing to accommodate my growing body. Shopping in Israel for maternity clothes is an impossible feat. The clothes are awkward, ill-fitting for anyone over the size of 0, oh, and require taking out a second mortgage. So I have turned to online shopping. We are going to the States in five weeks, so I am going to try to hold out until then, and have clothes ordered and delivered to my in-laws.
I love shopping, but REALLY do not enjoy shopping for maternity clothes. I feel like as hard as one can try, there is no escaping that when I am pregnant, I look fat. And all the pregnancy clothing in the world ain't gonna conceal that. That together with the fact that I don't like spending money on clothes that are only going to be worn for a couple of months. Feels like a crying waste of money and energy.
To stop myself gaining an excessive amount of weight, I have begun exercising at least three times a week - when the weather permits, I walk for 40 mins a day, or I do a DVD with weights and a step. I can't really control my enormous appetite, but feel at least I can try to counter the negative effects of my constant eating by burning some energy.
NOT easy being a woman.
