Cravings happen - I'm pregnant too, I understand that. But the author was going on about how having only one brownie sundae each day was some sort of restraint, like it was an accomplishment. If you're craving a brownie, why not have half a brownie? Or say to yourself, "I had a brownie sundae yesterday, I won't have another one for a few days." Practicing a little restraint goes a long way, especially when you have the health of your unborn child to consider. But leave it to hams to only think of themselves.
