People should shut their traps....

Granted I didn't have the healthiest lunch today, I've been craving hotdogs (heated up real good so it was ok) with saurkraut so I had one... I ate a handful of chips (45% reduced fat) with it... That's it! Afterward I was feeling pleasantly content, not yet full. Then I got it in my head that I had to have pumpkin pie. There was still a good 1/2 hour left of the lunch hour so I ran to the store and bought one, to share mind you not to just grab a fork and go to town. This was all about four hours ago! I made a comment a bit ago that I was feeling hungry again and the one and only other woman in my office made a comment... it really pissed me off. I work in the construction business and so mainly with men, and for the most part they are really good with me, there's just one guy I'd like to hang upside down from his toenails once in a while.

Okay, I feel better for venting... now where did I put that Snickers bar????

And what's your point?

You are pregnant.  You can eat whatever you want.  Or at least that's the attitude I had when I gained 70 pounds with my first.  lol

Seriously, she didn't need to say anything.

And, for that matter, neither did you, loislain.  What's the point in posting just to be nasty?  I can't believe you actually expended the energy to type that and hit "post reply".

what's the point of your response lois?

flgirl-  your pregnant.  eat and enjoy.  i can't tell you how many hotdog cravings i caved into.  and ice cream.  I got some looks from the ladies that I worked with so I purosely ate it in front of them and verbally relished how my little one will mask my tummy from being extended after all the food I ate!

Sometimes I wonder if people like the lady in your office are just jealous that they aren't pregnant.

I worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school while I was pregnant, and word got back to me that the teacher in my room commented on how HUGE my thighs were getting (@7 months pregnant, mind you).

You are very right, some people should just keep their mouths shut :)

Right now you need to do what is best for your body.  If you are hungry than eat.  Don't let the comments of a rude person upset you.  She obviously has no clue.

Everyone has said something rude to someone! A lot do it on purpose and a lot do it accidentally and without even realizing that what they said hurt someone. Maybe she was thoughtless and didn't mean to hurt you! I hope so.

I've tried for the last year or so when someone says something offensive I simply ask, "What do you mean?" It gives me time to recover and doesn't let their comment get by without a chance for me to find out if they meant to be rude.

Sometimes people try to back track and says they didn't mean it the way I took it but you can always tell those from the ones who really didn't intend anything hurtful.

Good luck! The good news is you'll have a beautiful child! Congratulations!

Being hormonal doesn't help when idiots shoot off at the mouth either, right! LOL

You're doing fine - just roll your eyes at such comments and carry on.
