Two Eating I

Interesting study. In my first pregnancy I craved a lot junk food but tried hard not to eat much of it, in my second pregnancy I craved lots of fruits and veggies. I think as women we should not be too concerned over how many pounds we put on BUT should not be a free ride to eat anything you see.

And women have to remember that "eating for two" is not two ADULTS, but one adult and one teeny tiny baby.
