Vegeater gets Oh Snapped

August 2, 2010 – 2:16 pm

This morning Hubs and I had our first official appointment with the lovely Midwife we have hired.  It was a fun visit, and baby I are doing great.  Lovely Midwife is a very smart and experienced lady who shares my firm belief that the food we eat determines how healthy we are, and can profoundly affect our quality of life, not to mention the health of unborn babies.  We are very simpatico in this way.

The past few days I haven’t had much in the house in the way of groceries.  I was completely out of fresh vegetables.  Not normal — bad vegeater.

While taking my blood pressure, she asks: What did you have for breakfast this morning?
me: I’ve only had First Breakfast so far, and that was a slice of toast with almond butter on it.
her: And you’re going to have another breakfast later?
me: yes.  or maybe two.  (I feel best when I eat small meals regularly)
her: What did you have for supper last night?
me: (embarrassed) oh well it wasn’t anything good cause I didn’t have much groceries so I just ate peanut butter and crackers
her: And what did you have for lunch yesterday?
me: a grilled cheese sandwich (I also had an apple)
her: And WHERE ARE THE VEGETABLES?

oh snap.  I didn’t eat any vegetables yesterday.

me (with Hubs backing me up): we didn’t have any groceries….I’m going to buy some as soon as we’re done here, really…that is not normal, not representative of (it really isn’t)….and we don’t usually do chores like grocery shop on Sundays….yadayada…. And internally: omg what kind of Nutritionist am I, what kind of mother am I, to be 6 months pregnant and not eat any vegetables…how mortifying…

snap.  snap. SNAP!

I’m having humble-veggie pie for supper.
