2nd Trimester

Sick of this shizznit!

I've been trying to remain calm but I think i've had enough. I'm surrounded by some co-workers who are obsessed with their weight, and dieting to fit into bikinis for the summer, refraining from soda and other foods. Here I am pregnant, loving it and growing by the day. How shall I deal?

  • Eat what you want in front of them.  Derail their diets!!! Bring Krispy Kremes to work!

  • Yeah just enjoy that for the first time, at least for me, you get to enjoy and eat what you like to without guilt.  I had bought a ton of new bikinis at the end of the summer sales last year.....they will be motivation to lose the baby weight for next summer!

     ENJOY IT!

  • Throatpunch, throw a chair at them?

    Or really....(if allowable) iPod ear buds inserted all day with music.  I wish I could get away with that to ignore stupid people, but my job involves waiting for customers to come in and then helping them when they do...

    Ha ha! Sounds like a plan!

  • bring in donuts every morning and just leave them in the break room haha.
  • I hate that crap too!! I see perfect girls at the gym and get really down on myself. Then I go eat M&M's, LOL. Not exactly the best advice... but you are pregnant and they arent, so tell them to shove it.

    Great advice! and may I add..you look marvelous pregnant in those maternity jeans!

  • I would just keep eating in front of them, and the bringing in donuts sounds like fun!  HA HA!  Call me evil, but why not?  Enjoy this time. 
  • ok - i'm confused - are they trying to convince you to diet?  are they telling you what to eat? or to stay away when you are eating certain things?

    if i weren't pg, i would be thinking about trimming down for summer too.  maybe i shouldn't be so size-conscious but i am.  does it get annoying to hear them talk about dieting all the time?  i'm sure...but right now when i hear people talking about it, i just laugh and keep eating what i want.  its the one time in my life i can gain weight and be really happy about it!
