Ubba - you crack me up! Indeed - I look in the mirror and I know exactly what I see - I hate it and it is most definately not a choice. I think the doctors have tried everything bar surgery to get me to lose weight but nothing I do budges it. I eat small meals, I eat lots of healthy fresh fruit and veg and only lean meats. I don't pig out on lollies or choc, fast food is a rare thing. I walk everyday and I rarely stop during the day - except for Belly Belly of course!

Oh yes, he did tell me not to diet but to restrict what I am eating and try to lose some weight and definately don't gain any... One of his many contradictions!

Sushee - exactly, like I said in my original post - I know that by being overweight my risk for these complications are higher but it's not a guarantee it is going to happen... I felt really disgusted when I walked out and had a good cry all the way home. It just felt like it didn't matter what I said - I was obviously lieing and not caring about my unborn baby. By the time I got home, I was calm enough to realise I am doing everything I can to make sure this baby is healthy and strong - no one can really ask anymore of anyone.
