Eating For Two
So, we are expecting a baby in our family. We can see that the tummy is getting larger, the walk is getting slower, and the sleepiness is getting heavier. And, oh yeah, those also happen to my wife.
The thing is, as my wife's lifestyle changes, so does mine. As now my wife needs to snack more, so do I. What the wife eats, the man eats too. I mean, I do not have to, but since she's buying all the snacks and put them in the kitchen, I can't control what my hand grabs when I walk pass them. So, now my tummy is taking the lead in our width measurement.
My wife's diet basically consists of consuming the amount of carbohydrates that is enough for the baby to grow until she graduates from college. If you know Atkin's diet, well, it's totally the opposite.
But we also buy snacks that are healthier, which basically means they taste worse. Unfortunately, they are still fattening. We bought ginger digestive biscuits, raisins, milk cookies, a lot of cheese, milk, and nuts etc. Those are acceptable for an expecting woman, who has the most justifiable reason to get the carbo and get bigger, But what about the husband who is also eating the same thing? So I guess I just wait for my waistline to match my wife's.
It's funny how people sell maternity clothes for women, which have adjustable waist strap, but never sell such clothes for the husband. Hmm that's a new business concept.
