I definitely need to lose weight

[TZ]

Somebody at the store asked me when I am "due" today......:banghead:

1. Oh jeezus.

Well, I low-carbed it after my pregnancies. Worked like a charm.

Hey - weren't you supposed to be out and about with DeposeTheBoyKing today?

[TZ]

3. Yep. Just got back.

I'll post pics a little later. She is so awesome. Too bad she doesn't live closer..I know we would be good friends.

2. I dread getting asked that as well. *hugs*

4. Turn to the next person and ask,

"Honey, when did you check me out of the library?"

5. I got asked that a loooong time ago when I weighed 145 lbs.

For me that is thin. I wanted to ask this guy (yes, it was a guy :eyes: ) :wtf:

I have the lovely inherited trait of a very curvy body, tiny waist, and poochy gut. I look just like my maternal grandmother, right down to the curly Irish hair!

Now here's the weirdest part: when I WAS pregnant, it took until about 7 months before people would mention anything about me looking pregnant!

I give up. :freak:


:hug: to you!

6. ugh

:hug:



lost

7. Did you make them feel like an ass?

By telling them you're not pregnant? I'd go so far as make something up about uterine cancer just to make them feel worse if someone said that to me.

8. Sorry

That happened to me twice but right after I'd given birth. Once, I was holding my 6-month-old son. How quickly did the guy think I could turn them out? No one should ever, EVER ask a woman when she is due!

9. You could say "Any minute now."

and ask if they know how to do a delivery.

:evilgrin:

10. I am what some would call a skinny person. But there was a time

when I was ovcerweight and I was physically very uncomfortable with that. I went on my own diet which was basically one meal a day all week long. It was a pasta salad with every vegetable known to man thrown in, some meat or tuna and a low cal dressing. I ate nothing but that for months and lost the weight and when I ate it I felt satisfied. Everyone has their own way to deal with this food wise but walking would be another great thing to do. I have not regained the weight but I am very watchful now.

11. I never ask pregnant women if they are due, about the baby

you just never know. I let them tell me that they are pregnant and take it from there.

[Fleshdancer]

12. I'm the same way

It's really none of my business how things are going in another woman's uterus. If she wants to let me know, that's fine but I'm not going to ask.

[lizerdbits]

15. I worked with a woman who was asked about it shortly after miscarrying

She was far enough along to be obviously pregnant so it wasn't very early when I think a lot of miscarriages occur. She was obviously VERY upset. I think your idea is a good one.

13. Don't take it too hard. People can be morans.....

Start slow....

Go to the doctor before any diet.

A grapefruit before each meal.

Drink a lot of water.

3 cups of green tea a day.

Try to get 8 hours of sleep.

No snacking after 9pm.

Think positive.

Motivate with a picture. www.mvm.com

Stay away from soda and fast food. If you want to cheat make it every 2 weeks.

Get a workout DVD. I prefer pilates and belly dancing.

If you live close to a park...go for a walk.

14. New Rule

NEVER assume a woman is pregnant unless you observe the baby coming out of her.

I did that once, and never will again--I was pregnant myself and encountered a woman with a big belly in a ladies' room-- I made a little joke about our mutual condition- If looks could kill I wouldn't be telling you this story.

16. Stay away from the Cheesecake Factory.

They serve way too much food. We end up gorging ourselves.

:hi:

17. I was asked the same question recently...

and I'm a bloke. :blush:
