Oh friend

I was talking to one of my closest friends last night and mentioned that at my 14 week appt I was down a pound from my 10 week one. I love my friend but her response was "well, with your BMI you aren't supposed to gain very much weight at all".

Yes friend. I know you are a nutritionist, but please stop reminding me I'm overweight! I wanted to reach through the phone and smack her. (oh, and she's pregnant too... but umm, a size 00... so grrr).

Re: Oh friend

  • OMG! I don't care if she is a nutritionist you don't say that to a friend!

  • UGH!

    I abhore, loathe, detest, hate the BMI. It was invented by an insurance company-- not a doctor! It's bunk! And it's not science!

    Every time I hear somebody talk about a BMI, my butt clenches up and I want to scream. I certainly wouldn't listen to the advice of anyone who bases their assessment of my health on a non-scientific, non-medical formula...

    She needs a throat-punch. STAT.

    I think my jaw actually just hit the floor.  Friends should not say "BMI" to each other.

  • I don't even know what to say about your friend...but the whole concept of BMI just doesn't seem to make sense at all...

    I love this!  I can't believe your friend said that!

  • What a terrible thing to say!  I sure hope that throat punch knocks some sense into her.  However, I predict that 6 weeks after your baby is born you'll be posting that Little Miss 00 commented to you how SHE was back in her pre-pregnancy jeans mere hours after giving birth and can leap tall buildings with a single bound.  I hope not, but that's my guess.
