You don't need the calories

LittleDuckie2013

I have GD and was on break eating my 15 carb snack and my Coworker saw me eating and told me. "Put that away You don't need the calories." Seriously? That's basically like calling me fat? I calmly explained that I wasn't eating for calories I was eating to keep my sugar stable and he shouldn't tell a pregnant woman she doesn't need the calories or comment on her food at all. He told me I'm to sensitive.

Can I bite him???

What the heck?! DH says you had very right to punch his lights out! And I agree!

Your response was perfect. I had a similar situation but it was the woman at the WIC office. She said the first time I had ever met her, "You're gaining too much weight. Has your doctor talked to you about this?" I said, "Only to say they are happy that I am finally gaining weight after losing 15 pounds at the beginning and that I am right on track." That shut her up. I mean seriously? I'm 31 weeks and have gained 24 pounds from prepregnancy weight. This is the first time you have seen me and you don't have my medical history.

I'm so mad for you I'm not sure what I would've done. Maybe thrown at him? Ya know, since you don't need the calories anyway...hole

Your response was perfect. The biting would also be perfect, but potentially carry a disease risk and also likely get you fired. I can only imagine he's echoing what his wife is telling him every night...

I agree. Biting would be a bad idea. You don't want any diseases. Maybe kick him in the nuts.

Wow, I'm all for kicking him in the nuts.

I think that in my head frequently but would not say it out loud.
