what happens when you eat all your allotted calories before 9am?

It has become too easy...my caloric intake has become too large.  And before you people start commenting "but you're pregnant" you need to realize that on average, as a pregnant woman, you need only 300 more calories than usual.  And what was normal before pregnancy?

Before pregnancy, I wouldn't dare eat a biscuit from McDonald's or any other drive-thru.  Very rarely would I feast on doughnuts.  I would never, ever be able to down an entire meal complete with salad, breadsticks, and pasta from Georgio's nor would I sit and eat an half a pizza in one sitting (well, maybe if that sitting was  a lazy Saturday and it was breakfast/lunch/dinner).  Certainly, french fries would not be a common veggie on my plate.  I am shocked that my ass still fits on the sofa.  

So I know I shouldn't worry...if I was gaining too much weight the doctor would tell me.  Many people so sweetly note that I don't really look "that" pregnant (and I guess that means huge and massive for 6 months in).  However, I feel my face getting rounder by the minute (yes, I can actually feel my chubby cheeks puffing out).  My breasts are enlarge to a point that I wonder if they'll ever be normal again.  And my thighs are starting to rub together.

I'd go out for a walk, but every time I get to the front of the neighborhood, I can barely breathe.  This extra 20+ lbs has made it difficult to breathe, walk, exercise, function.  I feel like I am a walking bowl of lard.  

And yet, I can't help myself.

It is not long after I complete gorging myself that I desire something more.  It's like, there isn't enough food in the world.  AND IT'S GROSS.

Just plain gross.
