a few ‘holiday pounds’

How much weight did you gain during the holidays? I bet I gained more.

My mom doesn’t have a scale at her house. This may be very very smart. I just got home today and casually stepped on the scale.
And promptly fainted.
Holy heck, Batman.
Since the day I came home from India – which was less than one month ago, mind you – I have gained… are you sitting down?… ten (10?!) pounds. I was appalled. (Yes, I know I’m pregnant and technically should be gaining weight, but ten (10?!) pounds???) I am more than appalled. I am seriously disturbed. And very embarrassed.
My husband heard my cry of “No WAY!” and asked what was wrong. I said, “I gained so much weight!!” He says, “Oh, what do you weigh?” Then he threw out a number.
Jokingly. A number that I’m sure he thought was comically high. That it would make me feel better because, as much as I gained, at least I didn’t weigh that much.
“No,” I said. “More than that.”

Sidebar: The look on his face when he realized I was totally serious was pretty hilarious. Think ‘deer in headlights.’ It was almost worth it.
Almost.

Then he says, “I just weighed myself and it seemed really high too. I think that scale is way off.”

No more cookies.
Ever.

    Oh, please eat the cookies for me! PULEASSE! Because I can’t do it anymore and I really want someone to enjoy them. Otherwise, the cookies might feel bad. Consider that your duty to cookie humanity. EAT THE COOKIES, WOMAN!
    P.S. If it will make you feel better, I gained 17 pounds in one month during one of my pregnancies. It was AWFUL.

    That is exactly prompted me to do Weight Watchers. I gained like 10 lbs in 3 weeks and I started to cry one day. I wasn’t even pregnant, just eating everything that didn’t walk away!! Don’t worry, darlin I know that this is just a pregnant thing and you’ll have it off in no time post baby. And hand me those cookies if you’re done with them. ;)
