Things That Annoy Me Thursday: Calling Pregnant Women Fat

“She’s gained too much weight...”

I rolled my eyes when I heard that. No, they weren’t talking about me. But about her.

That’s Jessica Simpson, in case you didn't know.

And she’s pregnant.

And she’s SUPPOSED to gain weight.

She’s been receiving criticism for gaining too much weight.

I, for one, am happy to see a celebrity walk around LOOKING pregnant. So often you see this stick thin celebrity with a tiny bump boasting about how they still eat right and don’t treat their bodies like a garbage disposal simply because they are expecting.

I gained 30 pounds with each of my kids. Maybe even a little more. I ate what I wanted. When I wanted. Because if I didn’t, Baby got upset. And when Baby got upset, I got upset. Therefore, I ate.

Jessica Simpson is eating.

She’s not like those models who get knocked up and who gain like 10 lbs. Or the ones who boast that Yoga keeps them thin. (Snorts.)

So I say, you go Jessica Simpson, for looking like a REAL pregnant woman. I hope after you have the baby that it takes you awhile to lose all the weight. It really doesn’t impress the general public when a woman steps out two weeks after giving birth looking as though she never carried a baby at all. (Or maybe some people are impressed. I'm just like, "Well, must be nice to have your own personal chef, trainer, and nanny..)

You have a good number of people on your side, Jessica. So eat what you want and enjoy!

(Is it bad that I'm munching on a Krispy Kreme donut while writing this?)
