Getting pregnant and gaining all that weight

Someone please tell me why is it that carrying a 6 lb baby in your belly would result in a 40 lb weight gain in 9 months?
We had a brief discussion about this crap a couple of days ago at my parents house, and the typical retarded answer to that dumb question was this (this was everyone’s opinion):
“The baby needs nutrients and a woman needs to eat to feed the baby.”
So, the baby needs an equivalent of 40 lbs of fat in 9 months to be “fed” and come out healthy?
I could understand if the mom was eating chicken, eggs, lean beef, fish, veggies, fruits, olive oil, fish oil, nuts, milk… etc. but let’s fucking face it, no pregnant woman eats anything close to that. This is a typical pregnant woman’s diet on any day of the week:

- Fried egg (just one) in butter, feta cheese, jam, used tire
- A box of chocolates and washing it down with pepsi
- 2 gallons of ice cream
- 6 watermelons
- A bag of charcoal
- 3 big mac meals
- A small puppy dipped in chocolate

You call this fucking nutritious? Oh, sure the baby will thank you for it. Since your basis for nutrition is “I eat what I crave”… you’re doing a pretty good job!

I really don’t have much to say about the baby’s health… but plain and simple logic will tell you that the baby will be healthier if the mother ate healthier food (high in good fats and proteins). It just fucking makes sense. But still, most pregos live for 9 months off of ice cream, chocolates, and eating Styrofoam cups (that or Goodyear tires. Depends on the cravings), and the baby is still healthy in most cases. So, I have nothing to say about a baby’s health. But I have something to say about gaining 40 lbs of fat and blaming it on wanting the baby to be healthy and get his nutritious right during pregnancy. Fuck that shit. If you want to eat all that crap while you’re pregnant, fine. Fucking eat as much as you like. But don’t be fucking surprised when you are 5’3 weighing 200 lbs and people laugh at you when you say “pregnancy ruined my figure”.

Why do I sound pissed at this? Because when I tell this to people (men and women both) they get fucking angry as if I want to kill their child. And they start with all the “you don’t know how hard it is when you’re pregnant and you have cravings and blah blah blah”… that’s what most women say. You can’t fight the cravings. What would you say about a married man, who went to a strip club, had sex with a couple of the strippers, got caught and said “you don’t understand. I had to do it. it’s not wrong. You don’t know how hard it is to fight the urge.”… would you say “awwwww… how cute?” FUCK NO!!! first thing you’d say is “WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING IN A STRIP CLUB IN THE FIRST PLACE!!???” just like pregos… I’m not saying they’re cheating or whatever. You must be retarded to make that conclusion. But I’m saying is even when you have cravings, and you are in a weak position, it doesn’t make it right to cave in, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE!!! The man in the example knows that he would lose his marriage, probably get an STD, lose a lot of respect from everyone around him, and end up miserable for the rest of his life for running after a whore. The prego knows that if she eats that crap it wouldn’t benefit her baby, it will make her fatter, it will make her look worse, she will have a hard time fighting further weight gain even after the baby is born, and her husband will probably go to a strip club and end up in the first example.

Of course, according to statistics, ¼ of the women in this country are overweight, and ¼ are obese. So, they won’t give a fuck and will find pregnancy as an excuse for being overweight or obese even if they were like that before ever getting pregnant.

And the best myth that’s starting to catch on fast regarding getting fat from being pregnant is that “the fat you gain while you’re pregnant can never come off unless you do surgery.” And people will always believe that as being a fact.

Just thought I’d let you know :)
