Today, my husband told me that he thinks I am getting a little heavy and may need to lay off the junk food. The ultrasound is hanging on our fridge. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, is the fourth day of my husband's and my new diet and exercise routine. I've already caught him eating junk food 4 times. He has lost 2 lbs and I've gained 3. FML
Today, I found out that my husband thinks I'm fat when I caught him slipping diet pills into my morning smoothie. FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML
Today, I learned that my husband is attracted to obese, unhealthy women after celebrating my weight loss of 175lbs and improving my overall health. FML
Today my boyfriend overeats when he is upset, and normally keeps tight hold of his diet to control his weight. He assures me he’s happy about it, but since I told him I’m pregnant 3 weeks ago, he’s put on 28 pounds. FML
Today, I told my husband I want to lose the baby weight I put on with my recent pregnancy, and once I succeed I will go on a clothes shopping spree. To this he remarked, "So either way I'm spending money; either on food or on clothes." FML
Today, I'd finally reached my goal weight. I went into the office where my husband was, to show him the new size 8 jeans I'd bought. He responded with "I wouldn't buy any more clothes, you'll be putting the weight back on again soon." FML
Today, in the middle of the store, my daughter pointed at my belly and loudly announced that she was going to have a brother. I'm a man, and apparently I need to lose weight. FML
Today, yet again. my boyfriend told me I'm getting fat, even after I told him to stop and that it's affecting my mental health. I had an eating disorder previously, and now I'm thinking about going back to just eating an apple a day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I suggest you tape the ultrasound to his forehead.

Sounds like you're going to have to point it out to him. Your husband doesn't seem too bright.

Simply reading that comment ("a LITTLE heavy" "MIGHT want to lay off the junk food"), it sounds like he could easily be trying to nicely break it to you that you're legitimately getting fat. Perhaps you should consider taking his advice because if he's right, you're going to have a hard time losing that unnecessary weight after you give birth.

The phrasing is exactly the problem. You're supposed to get a little bit heavier when you're pregnant. OP's husband seems to want her to go the whole nine months without gaining any weight at all, and that's neither realistic nor healthy.

Without more info on the matter, that is a whole lot of assumption you are doing. A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever they want. Op should probably not even eat junk food when pregnant at all. Also consider the fact the husband used fairly careful wording compared to some jerks, it is entirely possible it isn't all baby fat we're talking about here...

you're not supposed to gain more than 20 pounds at full term. Most pregnant women use the pregnancy as an excuse to pig out and then when they have the baby they are left with all this extra weight and they can't do anything about it cause they are also taking care of the baby. Also, DON'T EAT JUNK FOOD WHILE PREGNANT! FOR HEAVENS SAKE! You need to take care of your baby!!

a little bit of junk is fine. the body wants what it wants when you're pregnant. my biggest craving was for shellfish which is a big no no apparently. i still ate them every week and had a very healthy baby. as long as you dont go overboard then you are fine. cravings are usually your bodies way of signalling a need.

You must have never been pregnant Ms. Trashy.

@#84: That is an incredibly well supported argument. You completely convinced me there... By the way, that was sarcasm...

Well you shouldn't be eating so much junk food in your pregnancy. You are what you eat, and in this case: your child will be what you eat. Be a more responsible mother!

When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME. Didn't your mother ever teach you that?

Hey this is Mimi and I have gained 12 lbs in 5 months of pregnancy. He is simply rude.

Congrats! You're doing great!
problematiclife 8
Thanks and he is being less rude now!!

No matter how much you gained or lost, he shouldn't be making jokes like that. You're growing another human. There's no need to try and diet or starve yourself while your body's trying to make another human being.
