Fat Logic & Pregnancy- This Is Only The Beginning. In late March I found out I was pregnant. My husband and I had been trying for a few months so we're really happy.  This is our first child so everything is very new for us. We haven't made the news 'public' aka put it on facebook. Over the weekend we told a few close friends and family, including both sets of our parents.  My MIL has always straddled the line of normal weight and overweight- basically she will go months without drinking soda and she returns to normal weight; starts with the soda again and becomes overweight. Generally she understands CICO and all that but her judgement is still clouded by fat logic.  About two weeks ago when I was 6 weeks along and we hadn't told anyone, she asked my husband if we were trying to have kids and raised concern that if I am underweight it would make conceiving difficult. My husband told me this and listened to me rant about how I'd have to lose 15-20lbs to be underweight. (I'm 5'2, between 110-115lbs). He laughed it off since he knew I was already pregnant and that I was far from being underweight.  Flash forward to this weekend- we tell them the good news and go out to dinner to celebrate. When discussing where to park I mention I don't mind if it's a few blocks away, I could use the exercise. She's immediately shocked and says no! Now that I'm pregnant I can't exercise.  Before I went on a hormonal rant my husband jumped in and said it's important for me to exercise I just can't participate in contact sports, do extreme weight-lifting which I don't do anyways. He continued to educate her that I can keep running, doing yoga and exercises with hand weights which is what I've always done.  Who knows what other stupidness will spill out of other family members and random ass strangers over the next few months. Side note- My family are all shitlords. I told my mom about the underweight thing and we laughed and talked about how warped people's perceptions are because so many people are fat. My dad's new nickname for me is 'fatass' even though I haven't even gained weight yet.
