i have to relate to the office comments. i got soooo many! i was called 'little piggy' on many occasions and small off the cuff comments about how 'you'll never get your body back'. i was like what body?? LOL! but seriously at the time it didnt bother me as i was just into growing my baby and if i felt like eating i ate. but the one i got and really rubbed me the wrong way was, 'you are not eating for two you know....'. it's just a demeaning comment not promoting any support or happiness.
and as for the mags, like leasha said if we are talking about eating disorders it of course goes much further than simple images in magazines; but if we are talking about a woman who has just had her baby and is being brought in a million magazines from well wishing friends and all the articles have some sort of pregnancy weight-loss theme it does get you down about the way you feel and look. at least this is from my personal experience. in the end i banned them from my room and just cut out the crosswords! LOL!
i like what DD said, just enjoy the pregnancy, enjoy the fact that we are growing brand-spanking new human beings and dont feel guilty over the chocolate!!!
