Sympathy Weight.

  As most of my subscribers know, I had a little weight loss blog back in the day.  I started at 190 pounds in September and shed off 30 pounds in four months. If you are genuinely bored check it out at http://theunablebody.blogspot.com.  Speaking of subscribers, I don’t have any, so this is all news to you.

  With that being said, it has been four months since I ceased my rigorous workout/diet plan and it grieves me to say that things have kinda gone downhill. Call me Kristie Alley, cause I gained a bunch of the weight back.  I blame the baby. There I said it.  Now don’t go doing the math on when I stopped working out and when I found out we were having a baby, okay?  Just trust me on this one. Yeah, it was definitely the baby.  He’s literally the size of a peanut and he’s already giving me problems. Oh, and I don’t feel like typing “he/she” all the time so the baby will be a male. 

  Anyway sympathy weight is both a blessing and a curse.  The predicament of being married to a pregnant wife is that all bets are off when it comes to the menu. For a little over a month, the days of eating salads and vegetables have disappeared, being replaced by Portillo’s bacon cheeseburgers, McDonalds french fries, and Panda Express’ delicious orange chicken.  Now that she has a taste for all things unhealthy, I have no accountability. The fact of the matter is that I am weak.  When she walks in that door and is craving a big ol’ juicy whooper, how can I say no?  Besides, it would be selfish of me to be on a strict diet and to work out constantly while my pregnant wife is eating for two, right? Right? Right!  I still blame the baby.
