You Suck, Ben & Jerry

I really wish I could eat that whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked that is sitting in my freezer, without any of the guilt. I had three bites before putting it away. At 270 calories per 1/2 cup, three bites is all I could allow myself. I left the spoon in my mouth for longer than necessary to savor the last bits of that chocolate taste before finally throwing it out. I hate watching my weight.

Now, I am 7 months pregnant and should be able to enjoy that whole "eating for two" excuse. Or even the "ice cream counts as dairy" excuse. But having gained 60lbs the first time around, I really can't allow myself the joy of just not giving a damn. Even with exercise almost every day, and making sure I am eating healthy more often than not, I am already at 20lbs gained with the recommended average being 25-35lbs. I had hoped to be in the lower end of that bracket. But with the ice cream taunting me in it's frozen oasis, and...oh those Oreos, I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up going over.

Being knocked up sucks. The end.
