Not for nothing, but I'm allowed to friggin EAT!
Last night at my cousin's I was starving... I was eating her pita chips that were out before dinner, which I love, and put them on a plate...
DH starts telling me to go easy on my eating, my stepmom jumps on the wagon (who is no lightweight herself) telling me that I can slow down, the food will still be there.... And after dinner I was eating a chocolate pretzel, saying it was so filling I can hardly finish it, and she's like - well - you seem to be doing a good enough job there....
Not for nothing - I'm friggin 5 and a half months pregnant. I was a size 4/6 before I became PG, so I was never heavy. I lost 13 pounds in my 1st trimester and it took me so long to have an appetite... now i finally have one and gained 7 pounds - I don't mind people saying I look PG now, but stop monitoring what I friggin eat. On Thanksgiving. I hardly ate anything else last night because I'm vegan, don't eat turkey, and there were few other vegan items there.... sheesh....
OK - vent over....

Thanks!
I eat so normally - once in a while I get a strange and eat something like a candy bar, but I'm not going crazy with it - I love my DH, but its not like him to comment on what I eat!

I hear the same sh*t and I have been eating extremely healthy this pregnancy, fruits and salads. So for Thanksgiving I loaded up my plate b/c I starved myself all day for a big dinner and my grandmother made a comment about me being a "big" eater. #1 I am eating for 2 people #2 it's friggin' Thanksgiving let me enjoy myself.

Re: Not for nothing, but I'm allowed to friggin EAT!
I cannot get over how rude people are!
My grandmother past a comment to me once (I was eating a veggie sandwich from Subway), so, I purposely went over and opened a bag of chips and said, "mmmmm, not thats even better"..LOL
Im stubborn like that.
To you!

I always say that pregnancy is the only time you can actually eat and not worry. Just enjoy it

Re: Not for nothing, but I'm allowed to friggin EAT!
People will judge everything you do just ignore it.
I walked in to work with a cup of tea and someone said "that better be decaf." Listen, I work so much and have to drive so far that if I need a cup of tea once or twice a week to prevent driving off the road, I'll do it. Rather a mommy with a little caffeine than a dead mommy.
And I did fall asleep at the wheel several times, thet's why I started up with the caffeine on occasion.

If you weren't eating, people would have something to say about that too
Just ignore it. And tell your DH to shove it (nicely). Mine still hasn't lived down that he said m/s "was in my head"

Re: Not for nothing, but I'm allowed to friggin EAT!
After all you went through with the MS, you are completely entitled to eat. When mine was gone I ate everything in sight. It was just such a relief to eat something and not have it make you sick. Eat up , don;t listen to them.

Re: Not for nothing, but I'm allowed to friggin EAT!
Was your stepmom ever pregnant? If she was, she should know the severe hunger than can sweep over time to time.
people always have to say something. sorry your DH had to jump in to

Yes - and she gained a ton of weight with both pregnancies!
She always had to comment on what I ate even before I got PG - she is obsessed with how other people look, even though she is overweight.... its strange - it was a b!tch duirng my teen years when I was self-conscious enough!
