A Pound A Week

I have been finding that it is absolutely impossible not to gain more than a pound per week. I've been to the doctor three times, each requiring a hop onto the scale. At first I was pretty proud of my minimal poundage, as I had actually lost weight during the first trimester. This, however, did not get documented. Only that day's weight went on the chart. Visit two revealed twice as much weight gain as the doctor recommended. Visit three had tapered off a bit, but it was still more than she wanted me to have gained. I told her that I'm trying really hard, and she responded with, "Well try not to gain more than a pound a week." For one, that's what I just said! And for two, --rubbish! WHO MADE THAT RULE ANYWAY?!! I am constantly starving and believe it or not, I really am trying to eat healthy. A monster appetite can only be appeased with one thing--food! It's not rocket science, and plus I am growing a person inside of me, for goodness sakes! I should get some credit for that. I'm not just a Fatty Frannie who's stuffing my face because I can't control my hunger compulsions! The nerve. I'm done listening to such hogwash, but I am NOT done eating. Or gaining weight. Period. I told Justin that if he or Dr. "Pound a Week" gets on me about it any more, heads are going to roll.
