I'm Just SO Ready to be Done

There's that point where you just know that you are going to order a pizza and then eat way too much of it. No matter how huge and fat and unattractive you have been feeling for months now, and no matter how hard you might be trying to really just tone it down a bit with the eating and the cravings, there comes this point when you just...know.

And then you do it. You call and order the pizza. You justify and rationalize the purchase with such explanations as...Mr. JuJu is working late tonight and won't be home, so why cook anything? (As if all of the times that he indeed does make it home for dinner, you are waiting at the door in your apron, just about to pull a roast from the oven, handing him his three fingers of scotch....yeah, OKAY) or, or, or...hey! The kids will eat pizza and be so happy and I won't have to even talk them into it, they will just eat it and smile and I won't have to fight with them, and I'll smile, and we'll all be so happy.

So you order and it comes and it smells so freaking good and you promise yourself just one piece, but of course this was just like that time last week when you promised yourself one potato chip and you ended up eating so much that you made yourself SICK because really, there is only so much room left in my stomach for actual FOOD.

I'm feeling sick, people. I'm feeling sick and I can't even go for a run to make myself feel less guilty and blah and huge.

I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore.

Hi JuJu, I remember that feeling all too well. I gained 51 lbs and here it is 14 months later and I still have some lbs to lose. Actually I still feel that SICK feeling even when I'm not pregnant. Go figure! Anyway just know it will be over soon, and it will all be worth it. Did you end up getting sick after little JuJu was, or did you and the baby manage to escape it this time. (I can't figure out how to use my question mark. I am currently using my father-in-law's lap top and it's different then any keyboard I've ever used.)

Hang in there JuJu! Only a month to go! And you know what? Preganacy is the only excuse we have in this world to over eat. Sure, you may feel like crap afterwards, but is that any reason why you can't plow through Little JuJu's Halllowe'en bag when the time comes? Of course not. Eat all of the Smarties you can. Once you have three kids, you'll be too tired and busy to think about food. The pounds will come off then.

When you look at the whole Big Picture, Ju, what is a few extra pounds except proof that you enjoyed yourself for a bit. (the food AND the sex, haha. >sorry, couldn't help myself...) There's just a teeny bit more of you to love. And you'll have slightly "cushy" hugs for all of us and the new little tyke - Who's really coming quite soon, afterall. Love you!
