I (32F) have been intermittent fasting, after years of yoyo-ing my way through the same kilos over and over, and it finally started to work for the last ~6 months. I have lost the kilos I gained from Corona, plus those I gained from the horrific loss of a family member (I am a stress gainer). I started to move regularly, going swimming with my MIL, which helps with the aftermath of the two disc hernias I had 2 years ago. I was on the best path to my goal weight for my wedding next year - and now I'm pregnant. This pregnancy is very much wanted, so all is fine. Except that I have been trying to lose weight and aiming for a calorie deficit for most of my adult life. I know that for the next months, the scale will have no meaning to me. But it has been ever present for years now. I know that I should look into a good pregnancy sport routine, even more into nutrition, and focus on that. And starting in the second trimester, I should maybe eat breakfast again. But I have been on 1500 calories a day for so long (my BMR is amazingly low, I had it calculated with a professional). I know that I will have to eat more. I just don't know how my mind will keep up with it. I have been picking at my physique for so long, I HAVE to measure my healthiness somehow. Is it possible to be pregnant and still exchange fat for muscle, e.g. in the arms, legs, face? I had ~8 kilos left to my ultimate goal weight.
