[quote=Anonymous]jindc,

This is pumpkin / pepita. I'm not at my best weight ever (I was very slim until I hit 35 or so, then things have gotten kind of, well, gluey) but I'm healthy enough and within my ideal weight officially (just don't ask me to take my pants off...not that you would!). Anyway, even so, the attitude you hear is dished out by the wisdom midwives kind of bums me out, too. I have some friends who actually used them, though, and they said that this stuff is EXTREMELY overstated on the internet, that they're not nearly that pushy, and that there thing is all about healthy lifestyle, not necessarily weight, which I'm okay with, but even so. I don't want bossy and I don't want to come in feeling like I'll need to defend everything that goes into my mouth to a third party.

This month because I've been so nauseated I've really slipped away from my healthy eating. I feel like I'm eating what I can keep down and that I'm not going to sit here and eat kale and make myself throw up when I can eat a white bagel (god does wisdom hate white flour!) with peanut butter and honey on it (my breakfast 8 days in a row now). I know from my last pregnancy this won't last forever. I'm forcing myself to exercise and when I do feel well, eating the best I can. But I do what I can right now and don't want to have to justify personal decisions to a care provider. I have seen some wisdom patients say they just lie about what they eat, but who wants to have to do that? Know what I mean?

Anyway, I don't blame you one bit for feeling that way! In fairness, though, I've never heard anyone in real life say they had bad experiences and I do know a mom who felt overweight (she always looked great to me!) say she had a good experience at wisdom. Anyway, I'm not sure you would risk out due to your weight alone, especially with a healthy lifestyle, but I don't blame you one iota for not feeling up for justifying yourself! Who needs that?
