I’m a first-time mum and even before I became pregnant, I was overweight. But immediately I got pregnant, I was worried that my being overweight might affect my baby. So my husband and I decided on charting my weight gain so that I won’t end up gaining too much weight during pregnancy.
I wasn’t fat before we got married, so when I started adding weight he wasn’t happy about it, then I started exercising. Now that I’m pregnant, though, I just don’t feel like exercising anymore, and I crave a lot of sweet things. This bothers him a lot.
I can’t count the number of times he has tried to stop me from eating what I crave this week, he even went as far as calling my OB to ask him about my weight gain. My OB confirmed that I was okay and there’s no need to cut back on my calorie intake. He further explained that moving around and taking long walks are good enough for me.
Yet his mind still wasn’t on ground, I get that he’s just scared that I might end up being too fat when I give birth, but is he trying to starve me to death?
How can I be pregnant and not eat? Search me!
When he tried stopping me from eating three burgers today, I told him to stop complaining “’cause I’m eating these burgers and I don’t give a fig what you do” “Maybe you should be pregnant for a day, so you’d know how this feels” I ended.
I’m not always that blunt with words with him but he was pushing it. He didn’t even do any research on how much calories I need and all that he just wants to do is control my eating.
He wants the skinny wife he married back, and he doesn’t even care how he does that. I feel like crap, he had no right to make me feel this way, I’m the pregnant one.
And I’m already feeling like a sack of potato! I think that was so mean of him, indirectly telling me I’m too fat. Anytime we have an argument, he’ll apologise, but right now, when I want to eat, I always feel the urge to hide inside the children’s room and eat there, yeah, it’s that bad.
I know he’s just not sure how I’ll lose all the weight and get back to my pre-pregnancy body, and my pregnancy hormones is not helping either, making me freak out at every slight provocation, but how do I handle the anger I feel towards his need to control what I eat?
