To not want somebody to come and eat Mcdonald in my house when I am on a diet?

[soon2befamilyof4]

I started a diet yesterday, which is the first time as I love my food and take aways too much and cave very easily. I am determined to do this properly now, not to loose weight as such (yet) but to improve my health - I am very pregnant so want to be fit and healthy anyway, regardless of weight.

So, DH asked our friend to come and help us with a few things today, which is why I am not wanting to make a big deal as he is doing us a favour. BUT he told DH that he would come and get McDonalds breakfast on the way (with me picking him up). McDonalds is at the end of our road. DH asked him not to eat it in front of me as it would really test me and he knows I would be upset if I gave in already.

So, I went and got him after the school run, and he went on about McDonalds all the way there. I said I would drop him off at McDonalds and meet him back at mine (2min walk) because I didn't want the tempatation, although he had already made me fancy it! He was very about it all but did it anyway. Next thing I know, he is at our door, with 2 Mcdonals meals, both for him and he has just sat and eaten it right in front of me. I am quite annoyed TBH. My whole house now stinks of McDonalds brekkie and I am now hungry and wanting to eat more now, which isn't the point. Have had some fruit and a shape yogurt, but was hoping to wait till DD went for a nap (about 11am) before cooking my beans on toast for brunch. Yesterday it worked fine doing that and I wasn't hungry in between, wasn't tempeted to have anything else etc but I feel a bit like he is just rubbing my nose in it a bit?

Obvioulsy he can eat what he likes, but can he not just eat in? I might as well have just taken him through the drive through.

What do you think? Am I being fussy or would it of annoyed you to?

And fgs when pregnant 'sins' should be the last thing on your mind

Well that is just a sample menu, not adapted to the pregnancy one at all so not really a true example too and I think you are assuming I have no common sence and not believing me when I have said I have put proper thought and research into this. I am not going to lie about it.

So thedevilwearsprimark - you are saying I should carry on eating the awful diet I was before? I am pretty sure this is a hell of a lot better thanks all the same.

Nothing is being cut out the devilwearsprimark, not at all.

There isn't any "pregnancy menus". The only "menu" that I know of is the sample on that you linked to.

What sort of food are you refering to? It does say to have low fat yogurts, and lean meat but thats about it I think? Ie, still have full fat cheese and stuff? I don't really get your point, because it is not cutting out fat

read fast food nation or watch supersize me and that will soon put you off

a cooked brekkie doesn't need to be unhealthy
dieting doesn't involve starving oneself it involves doing some extra physical exercise pregnant or not.
Cut down don't diet if you're "very " preganant you will use up fat stores and eating as properly as you can manage will mean that your energy levels will be stable.

If you had read my posts I do have something cooked but just a bit later in the morning as otherwise I throw it back up with the morning sickness (yes, even at 32 weeks).

And I am certainly not starving myself I eat till I am stuff and pick all day.

I haven't been able to do extra excerise. I would love to, but I physically can't at the moment. On good days I can go for a walk and I do make the most of it but I can't do anywhere near as much as I used to but I can't help that.

And I am eating as properly as I can, like I have said at least 10 times.

Sorry to snap at you, I just feel that nobody is listening to what I am saying and are just jumping to conclusions. And I have common sence, although people on here seem to think otherwise. This thread was meant to be just asking a quick AIBU question, not everybody critising my entire diet just because I ate a low fat yogurt FFS!

Yabu, because the only reason you are pissed off about it, is because you didn't get couldn't have a MCD....

No, I am annoyed because DH specifically asked him not to bring it in our house and he did anyway. If he wasn't asked then that is fair enough. And does a reason matter? It is still bloody rude to just ignore what was agreed the night before

can I just point out, that SW is a very healthy diet, envcouraging freshly prepared meals and eating a large amount of good and healthy foods....

soon2be...but your friend sounds about 12 year old...living still at home, not eating mummies breakfast because he couldn't find his way out of bed ...can't expect of such person to be thoughtful or considerate...anyway....if you are focussed, then some little thing like that ain't gonna get ya....juyst make sure you fill up with good, nutritious healthy foods!

Thank you FairLady - that is my point and everybody seems to think I am doing a faddy diet where I am starving myself and my unborn baby!

nothing faddy about sw at all...it's not like point counting WW where you could be encouraged to use your points on rubbish....(well, that was what I would be tempted to do )

I wonder why he ate his Mcdonalds in your house when your DH had asked him not to - and why he then got a kebab for himself and refused to eat with you and your family. Is he a teenager? Is he one of these people who prides himself on 'not being bossed around' ie selfish and rude? How would he have reacted if you had said, please don't bring takeaway food in here as now I am so PG the smell makes me sick?

Dittanyy - I haven't told you how many caleries I eat as I have not got a clue. I don't count caleries and don't intend to. I have much better things to do with my time thanks.

And you are twisting things again by saying I/Sw are cutting out all fats altogether - it is NOT and you are not listening to that at all.

And yes, I did try to answer your questions regarding the low fat things but you didn't answer the questions I was asking back, which meant I didn't know the answer as I am still not sure what you mean. SW do recommend low fat yogurts and lean meat - is that what you mean? Most other stuff, cheese etc is fine full fat, just usual stuff. So not really sure what you mean.

Are you saying we shouldn't eat lean meat?

The "all this stress is not good for your baby" rubbish is not relvant. I was really not that bothered, I just thought it was a bit out of order so asked on here to see if it was just me.

Yes he is a bit childish, but we are all in our early twenties so fairly youngish anyway. We are the first out of all of our friends to be married with children etc so I guess some of them do find some things hard to understand.

soon, it sounds like you've had a hard time on here and I don't think you were unreasonable. It's your home and he should respect that.

Can I recommend a site, if you haven't already found it? BabyFit is brilliant for diet and exercise during pregnancy and tracking both.

Soon2be, I think you've had a really hard time on this thread. I'm doing sw atm and, as you say, it's basically a healthy diet which is suitable for everyone including pregnant and bfing women, young people and those with diabetes.

I've just checked one of my sw booklets, it states the sw programme is approved by the Royal College of Midwives, signed consent is needed from your mw and sw will not tell a pg women how much weight to lose.

Yes it's true on sw low fat dairy products can be eaten without limit but you can also eat measured amounts of full fat cheese and olive oil, these are the 'extras' I imagine a pg women will be advised to increase.

Good luck Soon2be, hope all goes well for you.

Thank you ProfYaffle and tinkerbelle. Thats really helpful.

Just FYI: the entire slimming industry is a vicious con trick, end of. None of this shit works. What it does is mess up your metabolism (while you are eating all the dubious additive-stuffed 'meal-replacement' crap and cutting out entire food groups) so that when you start eating 'normally' again you will gain more weight than you lost and therefore run crying back into the arms of the con-artists to give them even more of your money. Most of the people who are actually too fat - as opposed to those who are within a healthy normal weight range and too smart to fall for slimming industry bullshit - are people who have been trying every diet plan going for years, and wrecking their metabolisms more with every attempt.
Dieting in pregnancy to lose weight is an awful idea - but adjusting what you eat to include more fresh veg and less processed food is fine - it's what most people do when PG unless they were annoyingly health-conscious anyway. I just thinkg, Soon2Be, that you might have got better, more accurate dietary advice from a site that wasn't part of the slimming-industry's ongoing, woman-hating con-trickery.

Christ almighty, i cannot BELIEVE this thread has turned nasty!! So long as the OP feels well and is consuming enough food to stop herslf from feeling hungry there will be no harm to the baby - believe me, the baby will take what she needs! I was BF and had gallstones, i had to it a ZERO fat diet to avoid agonising pain. I lost nearly four stone in as many weeks - My Baby put on all the expected amounts of weight because she got everything she needed out of my milk. It was me who felt like shit!

I am sure the OP is being careful and following the guidelines.
