Should you really be eating that?

We all get the question and it is usually annoying.  Today I gave the best answer back. "well yes I should"  then I went on to tell the person exactly how many calories, sodium, and caffine I had today.  Then I went on to tell them what my daily allowances are for each.  Then I went on and on about nutritional requirements during pregnancy and how I was surprised that I would have so much trouble gaining weight.

    Good for you!! It boggles my mind how people seem to think that they are experts on what other people should or shouldn't be doing. Not every person is the same and for crying out loud....YOUR PREGNANT!! What if that was your weekly/ daily/ whatever indulgent!?!?!?!

    I would like you to do that for my mom, please. She doesn't believe me when I tell her.

    People are nosy when it comes to pregnant ladies!  Soooo annoying.  Good comeback, but I think you spent more energy on this person than they deserved.  Personally I like to put THEM on the spot by asking a question back: "Why shouldn't I?" with a cocked head and an expression that says "I'm listening" is a good one that works for any occasion.  Or, "I dunno, should you be eating that cookie/drinking that third cup of coffee/going out to lunch at The Fat Shack?"
