Default sugar junkie

i am a vegetarian. because of this, i force myself to drink at least 3 cups of milk a day for b12. i read that there is 1.0 mcg of b12 in one cup of milk. i also read you need 2.6 to 2.8 mcg of b12 a day while pregnant. my doctor assures me i don't need a supplement and im fine. that being a vegetarian is nothing to be concerned about.

anyways, i hate milk so i put chocolate mix in it when i drink it. today my husband said something about it's going to make me fat...hormonal me flipped out on him. then he read the back and i saw how much sugar was in the stuff...hormonal me flipped out again screaming and crying and being all crazy like.

for now on, i plan to just suffer though and drink plain 2% milk.

but when i was in my fit i realized i am still sort of a sugar/chocolate junkie. my husband and i have always eatten quite a bit of...crap. i'm not overweight. my weight is perfectly fine and i eat healthy stuff too, but it doesn't really excuse the junk food.

i made a promise to my embroy and myself today to stop eating crap.

is it too late? have i done any damage with my sugar rushes? i'm seven weeks.

i think it's perfectly normal. some women crave chocolates and sweets. as long as you dont overdo it of course, if your sugar level is fyn then its fine. i eat chocolts occasnally and my sugr level is fyn.. my obgyne said that i can eat anything i want. including chocolates..

eating chocolate is fine.. but too much of something is always bad so u have to control yourself

Your husband shouldn't put thoughts like that into your head...Its not going to make you fat to drink chocolate milk...I drink chocolate milk ALL the time and im not fat. Yeah, ive gained about 35 pounds, but were pregnant. I say, drink all the chocolate milk you want, you can worry about being fat after the baby is born.
