I think I'm packing on weight just because I have been not eating the best diet. I drink too much Pepsi and coffee. This is in anticipation of getting pregnant because I know that once I get preggers, I won't be able to eat these forbidden things. I know that just to be healthy for myself is the best thing but I really miss & crave some of these things while pregnant. When I'm pregnant, I'm probably at my healthiest!

"Indulging" before pregnancy actually is a bad thing in the sense that you use it. You should have a good healthy diet to start your pregnancy off with. However, the occassional "treat" is not a bad thing, not just before, but during the pregnancy. Going on a binge beforehand can set you up to have a difficult time fighting that same behavior during pregnancy, but drinking the occassional pepsi before AND during pregnancy will allow you to have a healthy body going into the pregnancy and maintain that healthy lifestyle throughout it and after birth. Don't think that your eating habits have to have a drastic change, your eating habits should be a LIFEstyle, not a DIET.

Actually I have read many articles that have said Caffeine actually decreases your chances of getting pregnant.
But I don't think you're wrong for wanting to enjoy yourself..
Sounds like you've been prego before though..
Well yeah enjoy the foods while you can cause Ive had a terrible time with heartburn even when I do splurge on the good food...

Honestly, you should be as healthy as possible. Pregnancy ain't easy--been there done that--and the healthier you are, the better it is for you and your child. Once you are pregnant, you will have less resistance than you do now with the hormones running amok and everything. Try to cut down now, so it will be easier for you later.

I don't think Pepsi is healthy for you before or when you're pregnant (high in empty calories and sugar). Try dark chocolate or cocoa powder drink. Good luck.

actually when you're ttc you should start off on a healthy diet so that you'll be healthy once you get pregnant. and if you're having a hard time conceiving you should watch your diet and get enough exercise and rest as well. and when you're pregnant it's ok to have soda and coffee as long as you limit your intake.

My x' wives always ate for 2 before they got prego, then for some reason they started eating for 4. they never got any kinda good looking body back.
you have to remember a baby only weighs about 6-8lbs before delivery, don't ever " eat for 2" . eating for 1.1 would be more sensible
