Alison Sweeney Is Gaining Weight & Loving It!

Days of our Lives actress and Biggest Loser host, Alison Sweeney, is gaining weight and developing a sweet tooth with baby #2 on the way,

"It's really the only time in your life that you're supposed to gain weight," Sweeney told People at Tuesday's auction of celeb-donated jeans for Clothes Off Our Back, which benefits children's charities. "They say that you're eating for two, but you have to remember that one of the two is only five ounces. It's not the same."

Alison also says that in the beginning of her pregnancy she didn't crave a thing because of constant morning sickeness,

"I was really morning sick," she reveals. "It was brutal. I would order my favorite things from restaurants, and I would get it and say, 'Get that thing away from me.' Grilled chicken or tomatoes would be the worst. I would tell my husband to get it away from me."

When that passed, Alison would crave Cheerios and sweets,

"I definitely have a sweet tooth with this pregnancy that I didn’t have with my son. With my son, I craved savory things. My doctor said to buy fruit at the farmer’s market. I bought a cantaloupe, and I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. I cut it up and put it in this big bowl and then next thing I knew, half of it was gone."

Even though she's eating for two right now, Alison still keeps up with her exercise regime and works on her 'problem' areas,

"My butt, my thighs, my arms – the whole thing." She went on to say she thoroughly enjoys taking spinning class with trainer and costar, Bob Harper, "I'm addicted to that – I definitely still do that while I'm pregnant. I try to make sure I don't do the same thing twice. … Everyday is different, and you can shake it up every day."

Alison and her husband are expecting a baby girl.
