Vent...

This is probably nothing and i'm probably just being over emotional...

 But tonight at work, I spotted some powdered donuts in the vending machine. Well, they sounded good so of course I got them. I walk back inside from the break room and my co-worker said "Your getting fat cause you keep eating crap like that up here everynight. Or your gonna have a fat baby."

We work over night so when I go to sleep at 2pm and get up at 8pm to get ready for work at 10pm...that's 8 hours that I haven't eaten anything. And I've been at work for 2 hours and the first thing I eat is a few mini donuts...get real. Like I said, that comment probably shouldn't have upset me this bad...but OMG! Don't call a pregnant woman fat!!! GERRR!!!! And ALL my co-workers know that i'm pregnant AND that I've lost over 50lbs in the past 3 months thanks to m/s and stopping drinking soda!

Ok...end vent. Thanks for listening.

    People can be so inconsiderate.  I have lost almost 20 lbs in the last 5 months and I'm still losing, even with the pregnancy.  My co-worker keeps telling me I need to start eating healthy and to stop eating chocolate and chips (I got them to snack on in case I start feeling nauseous).  It pisses me off.  When I was pregnant before and I came in with food, my co-workers would start making all kinds of comments about my pregnancy cravings.  It irritated me.  Next time just say to the co-worker "And you are going to have a fat lip if you keep making comments about what I eat."

     THIS. It's ridiculous how inconsiderate people can be. Think before you speak. I'm sorry your coworker said that and made you feel that way.

    I had a co-worker that is also pregnant lecture me bc she saw me drink one can of Dr. Pepper. She went on and on about how bad caffeine is the funny part is that she is about 2 months ahead of me and she has gained 70 lbs already...I am not so sure that is healthy either. People just need to STFU!

    wow. that's rude. people are stupid.

    however, why are you not eating for over 8 hours? do you not have a lunch? can you take snacks with you to work? Maybe it's jsut me but i  am hungry ALL the time. feed the LO , i bet you were famished .

    Maybe your co-worker is my neighbor!  My neighbor is 2 months ahead of me and has gained a lot more weight than me (we are also different body types), but lectures me on vitamins and what I should be eating.  I generally eat healthy and have been doing prenatal yoga, but seeing me eat a handful of chips sent her into a frenzy of how I'm feeding baby crap.

    Ugg!  I wish people would just keep their comments to themselves.  Let me enjoy my chips--not like I'm smoking and drinking margaritas all day!

    No no no...you are not overreacting. People are SO rude! Who would call anyone fat in the first place...much less someone who is growing a baby inside her?! I hope you said something to her to make her STFU. I think I would have snapped. I am sorry you have to work with such a first class b*tch...and I hope you enjoyed those donuts!
