Bread plus heat equals toast. Toast plus more heat equals charcoal-like crap. Too much of a good thing creates bad thing. Gotta know when to quit.
One martini, good. Five martini, bad. (Latin plural of martini is what? Martinaes? Interesting, funny article on latin plurals can be found at http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2139/what-is-the-plural-of-penis)
The small paragraph above is another example of "Gotta know when to quit". Should never have gone there with the whole Latin nonsense. Didn't even take Latin in school. I took French. Four years in high school. (The teacher was hot! She drove a sports car, had long blonde hair...there were a lot of guys in that class.)
Apparently Jessica Simpson didn't know when to quit. She confessed to eating anything she wanted during her pregnancy in an interview with USA Today , then was surprised when the weight didn't come off after delivery of the baby.
I believe men have no business telling women what they can and cannot do. (And vice-versa thankyouverymuch!) I especially believe the evolved male will tread very lightly where weight issues are concerned when a woman is pregnant.
It is sad however that celebrities have carte blanche. Fame and money allow them to give anyone and everyone the giant middle finger. Celebrities need, NEED our love and money! They can and do fall off the wagon du jour, and don't really give a shit about our forgiveness, yet ask for it anyway.
Why do they not care? Because there is always some corporate endorsement waiting for them. (Hear that Paula Deen?) Should you or I indulge in everything we want because it's our first time being pregnant (never thought I would type those words!) then pack on pounds, we will not be rewarded with a $4,000,000 endorsement deal from Weight Watchers to drop the added pounds. Come on! Four million dollars!??! Shit...
I hope Jessica loses her baby-weight and stays healthy. But we should all know by now that "happy" doesn't come from a fork.
Do yourself a favor, and soon: try eating from the "small plates" menu from your favorite restaurant. Go to a tapas-style restaurant. Eat light, linger, laugh a lot.

"I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it," Simpson told the paper. "I wanted to be happy and eat what I wanted."
