Q: I Am So Fat

I am sitting here stuffing my face with graham (sp) crackers and peanut butter ,and I am about to go eat some spagetti with shirmp sauce. And all the while I am just thinking about going to class tonight ,and stopping at wendy's ,and going to philly's to get a philly cheese steak (i don't even eat meat) and so cheese fries on out break.

what is wrong with me. Okay I understand cravings ,but I am craving meat and I am a vegetarian. Okay i'll admit that I do like the smell of the cheese steaks but I would never eat one (i hope). Is this normal?

My fat a$$ mouth is watering just reading this post. So sad.

Ok does your doctor know you are a vegitarian? Are you taking vitamins? There are things in meat that your baby needs, so your body might be telling you something. Why are you a vegitarian? Is it for a diet, or because of the poor little animals or what? Maybe if your craving it, you should eat it, since your body is telling you what it needs. Thats why you crave things. Just because you wanna stuff your face with all them foods doesnt mean you are a fat ass, it means that you are pregnant, and eating for two... Im 10 times worse than you, does that mean I am a fat ass too? What are you gonna do when you are 7 months preggy and cant get full? And you stuff your face every 30 minutes?

I do take prenatals. And I don't eat meat because the thought of it digustes me. It kind of make me think about an animal butchering me frying me up ,and calling me a meal. And I see what you're saying but, I already eat almost every 30 min. I have a feeling that I will gan more than 35 lbs. During this pregnancy ,way more. I feel so bad. I know I don't eat meat but I want it. And the other day I almost cooked up a bowl of mud that I was craving, seriously.

Well usually if you are craving something its because you need those vitamins... I also wonder... Does your doctor know?

But anyways... Its normal to crave meat... My good friend was also vegetarian and when she got pregnant she actually ate a hot dog!?! This is a girl who used to get sick to even think about that stuff.

Crazy isn't it? She now eats meat on a regular basis lol... Its all normal just try your best to eat healthy. Beware of fried foods and sugary foods

You would probably caca your pants if you seen how much I eat, but how tiny I still am.. Ive gained 23 lbs (at my last doc visit at 27 weeks) so far and im always stuffing my face... People ask me how far along I am and I tell them and they say I look really small to be that far along. Just eat what your body tells you to, and try and stay away from sweets and other fattening foods.... One thing that I absolutley love snackin on is oatmeal raisen cookies though.. I dont know how fattening they are, but I think they are good for you lol... They got raisans and oatmeal in them hehe....
