“I had a buttered Pop Tart this morning. I’m eating a lot of stuff that I ate in my childhood. Kraft Mac n’ Cheese, Pop Tarts, Cap’n Crunch. Everything’s filled with sugar.[I] give into my cravings. I’m like, ‘Yeah, I can do it. We’ll worry about the rest afterwards’.”

Oh, totally my kind of girl. Buttered Pop Tarts? Never had ’em, but now I’ll have to try. Macaroni and cheese and Cap’n Crunch? Yum. Now I need to go out to the store and get some Cap’n Crunch. With CRUNCH BERRIES. NOM NOM NOM.

No, but seriously, it’s really awesome that Jess is all “I’m going to eat what I want and not worry about putting whatever weight I put on on” because though she’s definitely bingeing on high-calorie, sugary, carbohydrate-laden foods, she’s probably loads better off than the pregnant moms-to-be who, you know. Don’t eat. And their babies come out looking like they’re about to hit the runway for next season’s fall fashion line, and their moms are ready to hit the runway for this season’s spring line, like, last month.

My personal pregnancy cravings have included a lot of tuna, lemon ice, soda (which I generally despise), spaghetti and meatballs (which, if you know me personally, is par for the course; I could eat that garbage every day regardless), bananas, and Starbucks brownies. And I’m sure my son is going to come out just fine, you know? Food is food.

Anyway, you go, Jess. I’m pulling for you one way or the other. Take the weight off, don’t take the weight off, it’s all the same to me. You look great and your baby’s going to be one special kid, too.

  • There have been studies showing that babies show a preference towards what their moms eat during the last trimester of pregnancy. It’s not really what one craves, but eating more fruits and veggies can be good for little one.

  • What? You get a pass for being a total junk food hog if you’re pregnant? What else can you get away with? Shoplifting? Extortion? Would it kill her to eat healthy for her child and herself and OCCASIONALLY have a hot-fudge sundae? That ton of weight she’s put on isn’t going to magically melt away, either. It’s a good thing she’s going on Weight Watchers and I hope she can stick with it. However, she’s going to have stretch marks from Hell on her boobs.

  • Umm.. I think it’s great that moms eat during pregnacy, but it doesn’t mean it’s OK to eat a 8000 calorie diet a day filled with sugar. It’s OK to give into your cravings, but you still have to be responsible about it too.

  • What a terrible attitude for her to have. She’s thinking more about her body and her “desires” and not her baby’s actual needs (since when is a fetus in need of additives??). So what if she’s already flooding her baby’s insulin receptors with an insane amount of sugar? She’ll just “deal with it later.” At least your cravings are balanced, Sarah…but food is definitely not just food when you are carrying a child.

  • OMFG…how did that hippo ever fit into that (dress)? The woman has no shame. She should be at home working out on the Stairmaster. My gawd, you’d think she was pregnant or something.

    • U IDIOT SHE IS PREGNANT!! AND SHE’S NOT SAYING SHE STUFFS HER FACE 24HRS A DAY 7 DAYS/WK SHE SAYS THAT IF SHE HAS A CRAVING FOR SOMETHING SHE’LL HAVE IT IF SHE CRAVES CHIPS SHE’LL HAVE A FEW A BROWNIE NOT A WHOLE TRAY OF THEM .. I CAN’T BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE CAN HATE THAT MUCH .. IT’S CALLED JEALOUSY .. & YOU’RE ALL GREEN WITH IT!

      • AdiLuv…Snidely was joking when he or she said “you’d think she was Pregnant”! Get a grip! What’s with the CAPS also???? Nobody here is “jealous”. They are realistic and sensible about this. Eating a lot of sugar where it’s 24 hours a day or not is not healthy for the baby she is carrying. It’s OK to treat yourself to something sweet once in a while, but the article indicates that she doesn’t care at all what she eats or how often cause she gives in to all her cravings. And not caring about her own health means she’s not caring about her baby’s health. They will BOTH pay for it later. She’s clueless to think otherwise!

  • Just cause she is admitting to giving into her cravings doesnt mean she isnt eating healthy for her meals. She likes snacks, big deal. We all know how magazines have a way of publishing only portions of interviews and manipulating what people say so why is everyone freaking out about this? Give her a break….
