If the diet is reasonable overall, a donut once in a while won't hurt anybody. </p> <p>Who knows though, this may be a snippet of a quote completely out of context. The media is terrible for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758668 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:03:18 +0000 catomd00 1758668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She sounds a bit over the top for me but whatever works for her. I think there's a difference between not using pregnancy ad an excuse (which I agree with) and only being able to physically eat French fries in your first trimester (like I did!) everyone's entitled to their opinion, it's hardly anything to be offended over. I do feel bad for her baby though! She's in for an interesting upbringing it seems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758464 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:58:03 +0000 mrsjazz 1758464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Very true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758429 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:37:00 +0000 Smurfette 1758429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: good point </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758140 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:58:16 +0000 Boheme 1758140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: That looks freaking amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758136 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:57:23 +0000 googly-eyes 1758136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I agree with everything you said, and I don't think most of us are actually worked up about it, just think she could have used better words to make her more likeable. She just comes off as so full of herself. (eta, like most celebs, but that's why I would have never read this if not for hb) But I've also thought about the media taking things out of context. Either way I just responded with my gut reaction, I don't know her, don't follow her, and don't really care. Just figured I'd comment since I clicked open the thread &amp; article. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758098 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:48:31 +0000 IRunForFun 1758098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are only 3 or 4 quotes from her in the whole "article" and they could easily have been taken out of context. Sure, she probably said those things, but she may have said a whole lot more that wasn't included. I'm sure the "reporter" set her up to answer the way she did, too. </p> <p>I think people get a little bit too defensive when it comes to this topic. She didn't say say that all pregnant women who eat non-organic junk are bad moms and are inferior to her...she just said that she is of the OPINION that pregnancy isn't an excuse to gorge yourself and therefore, she's not. She even included the fact that she strayed from being so strict with herself and ate pizza once in awhile. </p> <p>It seems like whenever anyone makes a choice for themselves and expresses an opinion about it, people on the other side of the fence immediately go on the defense and say that person must be lying, etc, isn't normal, is a bitch, or whatever the case may be. </p> <p>Honestly, if you don't care what she's eating, I am sure she doesn't REALLY care what you're eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758088 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:46:25 +0000 pinkcupcake 1758088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen so many comments on HB about parents never feeding their LOs any sweets or junk food. I don't really see the difference between those types of comments and this woman's statements (I honestly had no idea who she was until this article). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758086 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:46:20 +0000 lawbee11 1758086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Mean!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/3#post-1758064 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:39:40 +0000 HLK208 1758064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think what she said was terrible. Typical for a celebrity.</p> <p>However, I enjoyed THIS amazing donut this morning. I've eaten super healthy this whole pregnancy and indulging once in awhile is healthier, in my opinion, than banning something completely from your diet. @erinpye: from HoD - the best!!</p> <p>[attach=1336/14/n8pyq6.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1758036 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:34:02 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1758036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who freaking cares either way? </p> <p>Either eat donuts or don't eat donuts, pregnant or not pregnant.

I wish I would have had an extremely healthy all organic pregnancy. That wasn't the case for me, but I don't begrudge her for it.</p> <p>ETA: There are plenty of people this site who have made "better than thou" types of statements about the life choices they make vs those around them. I'm sure I've done it myself at some point! But we aren't famous, so our every word isn't scrutinized and criticized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756888 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:09:29 +0000 wonderstruck 1756888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Ummm yes, now I think you're a touch crazy :silly: I guess at least you like chocolate chip cookies.

I think she is basically saying what our doctors tell us - try to eat as healthy and as mindfully as you can while pregnant, but don't deny yourself the occasional indulgence. </p> <p>At the end of the day, though, I have no idea who this person is, and don't really give an ish about her views on eating during pregnancy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756767 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:29:45 +0000 AnneBird 1756767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two-cents: I saw nothing wrong with the article. I would hope everyone's doctor is also encouraging them to eat as healthy as possible while pregnant. And if we are comparing the nutritional value of donuts vs. almost-everything-else, well.... you know how that ends.</p> <p>I have to say I'm a little surprised nobody has pointed out that many of the comments here (that she's "fat-shaming" pregnant women, that she is bragging/tone-deaf, and most insulting, that she is Clooney's "f-#&amp;*$") are exactly what they are accusing Kiebler of doing.</p> <p>The whole article has like five one-line quotes! If you think she is saying that you should be ashamed for indulging a craving, embarrassed because you put on weight while pregnant, or that you aren't doing your best because you are not eating all-organic and are still using regular drugstore makeup, then that is on you as the reader. </p> <p>I have no idea who this woman is... but I am a little horrified so many commentators felt comfortable insulting her based solely on this article and I applaud those who came forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756719 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 09:17:55 +0000 snowjewelz 1756719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's great that she promotes women to stay healthy &amp; active during pregnancy (I follow her in IG), but for many of us who don't have personal trainers, and dietitians, etc, I hope she's not judging us for not doing these things, or at least not consistently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756651 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:59:33 +0000 aegie 1756651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chalked up her tone to ... this is my first pregnancy and I have the means to support my all organic diet and I want to do what's best for my new to be baby. I get that sentiment. Does it come off a little "i'm better than you" .. slightly. But remember, these women have far more money and free time than 99% of the rest of the women in the world ... so you have to take what and how they say with a grain of salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756604 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:46:45 +0000 autumnlove 1756604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't find anything wrong with the article. Good for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756601 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:45:49 +0000 mrsjyw 1756601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't find anything wrong with her opinion. Everyone's entitled to one. If her tone is judgmental (not sure if I really got that vibe originally or if I felt that after I read some comments), regardless, judgment of women by other women - that I don't care for-- to each her own!</p> <p>Doughnuts were one of my consistent cravings throughout pregnancy, so there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756591 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:43:05 +0000 MrsSCB 1756591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purpledaisy: yeah, I don't really see the big deal with it. I think people can get defensive when it comes to food. I don't really see how what she said is "shaming". I'm sure the reporter specifically asked her to offer advice. It's not like she said "you're a disgusting, awful mother if you eat donuts." I probably eat too many donuts, but I'm perfectly fine with it and not offended by her words. Honestly, I probably should eat fewer donuts! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756585 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:41:13 +0000 looch 1756585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love People magazine, but I don't read it to learn about anything, it's fluff. They purposely publish stuff like this to get us talking about it, so well done People magazine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756551 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:28:59 +0000 Running Elley 1756551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't find anything wrong with the article. Good for her. I also agree that pregnancy is too often used as an excuse to let loose diet wise- I know I definitely took it too far. I wish that I hadn't. I'm sure I would've felt better about myself while pregnant and had a much easier time losing weight PP if I had exercised a little more self control.</p> <p>All in all, I agree with her even though not everything she's advocating is doable for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756539 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:24:15 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1756539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering I have no idea who she is, I don't really care what she has to say. Just another rich person who likely got famous for knowing someone (I guess George Clooney in this case?) who can afford things the rest of us can't. Oh, and I had ice cream BEFORE going to dinner last night. Suck on that, Stacey Keibler!</p> <p>P.S. She isn't famous for being part of the cookie Keibler business, is she? That would break my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stacey-keibler-pregnancy-isnt-an-excuse-to-eat-donuts/page/2#post-1756517 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 08:14:44 +0000 winniebee 1756517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I can vouch and confirm she is definitely no troll and had been on this site for years. She speaks her mind (and is often pretty funny!) and I guess lately takes heat for that. </p>
