I’m taking another flying trip back home next Monday and having done outrageous amounts of shopping I was worried how much I’d have to pay for the extra weight of luggage… so I went and bought the scales… just for that. Silly girl, wouldn’t you think, I’m moving end of the year and won’t need them and was living without them for 2 years just fine… but come the luggage problem… I just had to buy them. You know, I can live with having to pay for a few kilos extra on my luggage; it’s the NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH that I can’t bear. I hate the suspense of that moment when you have to put your suitcase on the check-in scales and then a number appears… and you hoped you would be fine… but then it says ‘2 kgs over’ and the whole drama  starts to unravel while you’re still standing there all miserable at the check-in ……they tell you to get out of the long check-in line and go pay for the extra weight at the special counter and then come back again and stand back in the line… and you loose all the good seats… and you sweat and curse… and you’re running late… and then the security line goes on for ever and you get all stressed… I HATE THAT. And I’m a pregnant woman now, I DON’T NEED THE STRESS…  

… so I bought the scales. 

I wanted to avoid stress by buying the scales. LOL. Stupid woman. Before I could weigh my luggage I had to weigh myself, right? 

I gained 4 pounds in the first three months of my pregnancy – until beginning of October – and I gained almost another four in this last month alone!!!!! So… from July, I’m already almost 8 lbs heavier. And I’m not even showing much. I tell you, it’s not just the baby. I can’t really tell on the belly. But the arms feel flabbier. My face looks fuller. How much did you gain by the 4^th month of your pregnancy? Most women probably even lose weight because of the sickness… not me…aaaah…. 

It’s not the baby wanting to eat all that pizza or half a loaf of bread in the evening, I’m quite certain. lmao… It is pregnancy related, for sure, I’m following a few pregnancy sites and apparently pregnancy increases the fluctuation of sugar in the bloor… hence the hungry feeling…hence the overeating. I must be extra careful to eat low GI foods to cope with that.  

Marge, I should probably be eating the way you are to curb your diabetes. Any other diabetic buddies out there? Why not give me a few pointers… or better yet… a sample menu for a day… I’d much appreciate it. Nothing fussy, though. I have a policy of only dirtying one pot per one cooking session.

One pot, one plate, one fork, one spoon, one knife.
