ugh, some people!

I swear, if I hear "Your baby is going to be diabetic!" One more time I'm going to punch someone!

Everything I eat is under scrutiny from strangers! Mind you I'm eating perfectly healthy! Here's what I had yesterday when I heard this.....

Breakfast: Fruit & Yogurt Parfait and a blueberry muffin.

Snacks: Strawberries & grapes then later carrots and celery with a tablespoon peanut butter.

Lunch: Tossed salad with 1 slice colby jack cheese and turkey. Sides were celery and carrots and strawberries. (1 tsp sugar added)

Dinner: Turkey & Cheese panini with a serving of ruffles potato chips.

Mind you, the fruit & yogurt parfait I made at home with fresh berries and the healthiest yogurt I could find and the muffin was homemade as well. I switched the oil for applesauce to cut out the fat. (Habit of mine)

I ate the veggies with peanut butter because I hate vegetables. Cheese and meat is the only way I can eat salad.

Now I was told my baby would be diabetic because I ate the strawberries with a teaspoon of sugar! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?! REALLY?! A TEASPOON OF SUGAR IN UTERO WILL CAUSE DIABETIS?! I would love to see how their children turned out!

I do not eat that healthy.
I do eat lots of yogurt and fruit and some veggies and my babys perfectly healthy.
Dont listen to them. The sugar turns to fat and helps the baby put on weight at the end.

I was ready to go on a rampage. I took my lunch box and slammed it against my car so hard I dented the car! This drama and then hubby spending money we don't have send me over the edge. Then I started crying inside the house because the money he spent was to buy me flowers. I felt like a jerk. :(
