Am I unreasonable disgraceful that todays intake has been

Breakfast - slab of cheesecake
Lunch - repeat breakfast
Dinner - repeat the above in a massively larger portion.

Snacks - 1 apple, gallons of soda water and a pregnancy multivit.

In my defence I made it myself from scratch with lowest fat cream cheese and greek yog and low carb / low sugar base. ...my diet to now has been 'good' with much greenery and my non pregnancy diet is normally super, super strict macro tracked etc etc.... and.... and..... ermmmm I read that Pink confessed to scoffing an entire cheesecake in one sitting while preg?

Very likey IABU, does anyone else have similar tales of day- long gluttony?

It's a day, not a lifetime. You're grand. Although now I want cheesecake.

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 19:25

hahahah ...... please, please, take it off me!

The only unreasonable bit about your post is you used low fat cheese and Greek yoghurt, you so should of gone all out-cream and full fat cheese all the way!

I'm not pregnant and today I've eaten 1/2 a tub of celebrations, shit load of party food as a picky dinner, a few bits of Yule log and a fair bit of cheese. This is the season for food

Farmmummy · 30/12/2016 19:28

Yabvu I haven't got any cheesecake Xmas Wink

RuggerHug · 30/12/2016 19:28

Also if you didn't eat it it would have gone off and gone to waste. Starving children in the world etc etcGrin (I'm turning into my DM but dammit she has good food logic).

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 19:33

I bloody love M-Net ...... second time this festive season I have been 'cleared' Xmas Grin

I do love all the tales of similar nibbling...

I viewed cheesecake as a healthy option when I was pregnant - calcium and fruit in one delicious slice Grin

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 19:37

Genius!!!!! {{eyes forth portion and wonders if can sneakily snarf it before Husband gets back}}

I'm not even pregnant but today's food will be 2 X bottles of wine and the 3 X blocks of runny cheese with crackers by the pool.

There's no sin in any kind of cheese. Except low fat cheese, it is shite so you should repent by buying a full fat cheesecake and redeeming yourself.

Farmmummy · 30/12/2016 19:54

Dispose of the evidence op!

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 19:55

By the pool...... ahhhhhhh, now that would be just the ticket.

YABU for now making me want cheesecake which I don't have.. All I have eaten today was a massive plate of Brie, apples, grapes and crackers.. It was amazing though Xmas Grin And for dinner tonight I'm making frozen potato wedges covered in cheese, sour cream, guacamole and salsa! Super lazy and greedy and I don't even care 😂

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 20:02

...that ALL sounds good.... and may inspire a savoury gluttonous day tomoro... and perhaps a hopeful AIBU Xmas Grin

AIBU to demand all my Christmas gruffing will be expelled with the baby come March

(I can hope.....surely??) Blush

For those without cheesecake, a digestive biscuit spread with cream cheese and topped with some jam or marmalade or lemon curd works well in an emergency Grin

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 20:06

hahahahah! love it, that was like one of those Viz top tips. Grin

Domino20 · 30/12/2016 20:06

Oh, it WILL BE expelled, just not in the way you are thinking!

Mrsglitterfairy · 30/12/2016 20:11

Ooh Teas love that idea

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 20:28

oh 'eck Domino ..... may consider a quick 'fast' as soon as get first nod of a contraction. First baby and feeling a bit prudish / squeamish at thought of any 'accidents' Blush

IrregularCommentary · 30/12/2016 21:19

You won't give a proverbial shit Champ. I dragged my poor dh into the loo with me at the hospital because I was terrified of going to the loo mid contractions in case I pooed the baby out or something?!

It was all thoroughly unpleasant, but I didn't care at the time one little bit and I reminded him a few weeks ago (dd is 15w) and he'd completely forgotten about it.

ThePeoplesChamp · 30/12/2016 21:25

thanks Irregular hoping the bigger picture will overshadow any sudden incontinence Grin

...and congratulations on your DD!!

OP posts:
Strokethefurrywall · 31/12/2016 00:20

I pooed both of my babies out! Trust me, that at the time ironically I didn't give a shit! 😁

TyneTeas · 31/12/2016 00:29

shaking my head at how a thread about something as beautiful as cheesecake could be so easily turned into a thread about pooing Shock

Bad Mumsnetters! Bad! Grin

LBOCS2 · 31/12/2016 00:42

I didn't poo at all in my labour with DD1. DH held the sieve for DD2's birth.

Anyway. What I came on to say was that I grew DD1 on satsumas in the first trimester followed by pie and cake in the second and third. And she's a strapping four year old now, who is only mildly obsessed with cake. It wasn't even Christmas so I didn't have that excuse. You're fine Grin

ThePeoplesChamp · 31/12/2016 09:21

hahahaha....bad MN poo-chatters indeed!!!!

Satsumas and pie and cake..... this is really quite similar to my experience - trimester 1 & 2 was melon, melon, melon...... 3 has been largely cheesecake and jelly sweets. Perhaps this is much needed catchup calories .... or can at least be written up as such and swept under the carpet Blush

I did eye the cheescake at breakfast today.... but played the game and had egg, toast and melon. Elevenses will roll around soon enough Grin
