Better for him to call you fat and you be pregant, than you be fat and he ask if you're pregnant ...

I suppose that is true. I didn't like this guy to begin with, so I wanted to embarass him, even if it meant embarassing me in the process. I am more difficult to embarass. (I realize that by saying that, I am asking for trouble!)

I hated the after-pregnant questions people would ask, like "Are you pregnant again?" It took me a while to lose a lot of that babyfat.

I also hated when people made comments about how hot I must have been when I was 9 months preg August 100+ degree weather. I wanted to make a hole in their heads with my fist. I did smack a few people for touching my tummy without my permission. A pregnant tummy is not a public touching spot. People don't get that! Sorry, that was a rant meant for another thread.

No, that's cruel and unusual revenge. And will be remembered for future use.

Case, I totally sympathise with you.
If I ever decided to have children (AFTER I quit smoking and got out of debt!),
I don't think I would ever leave the house because if I had people trying to touch me and rub my belly all the time I would think I would flip out.
All the hormones in my system probably wouldn't strengthen my self control, either.

OnyxCougar · 05-19-2005, 10:18 AM

Maybe it's because I'm over 6 foot tall and scowl at people that approach me, but when I was pregnant, *NO ONE* came up to me or touched my belly.

They would have lost a hand.

i'm a mere sprite compared to OC, but no one did this to me either....

kerosene · 05-19-2005, 01:06 PM

I think I was just around too many people, back then.

staceyv · 05-19-2005, 05:21 PM

Actually, even if I DID get pregnant, I would hide it from my coworkers/boss because then I wouldn't be able to take a week off every month for my period!

staceyv · 05-19-2005, 11:02 PM

uh, what does YMMV mean? And 134 is the ideal weight for her. You're lucky she has such a great figure! (Whoever SWMBO is- don't know that one either.)
I found my solution in the cigarette thread! If I quit smoking, I'll gain 15 lbs and then they'll all shut up!!

Your Mileage May Vary.

I came late to this thread, but I know how you feel. I've never been over 112 lbs in my life (except when I was pregnant), and I'm 5'8". I hear the same thing. "You need to eat," "You're so skinny!" but I have as yet to be accused of having an eating disorder. No one who's seen me eat would dare say that. I eat like a pig--when I'm hungry.

I just tell them the truth--I have a fast metabolism, and always have. I'm not skinny because I'm a vegetarian. I wasn't always a vegetarian, but I've always been skinny. I could eat an entire large extra cheese pizza every night for a month, and probably not gain more than a couple of pounds. And it's not like I exercise or am continually moving around. I do neither. I think I'd be scared to exercise, except maybe to tone...

I currently weigh in at 104 lbs. Of course, I have small bones, too. My ideal weight is 130, but if I weighed that, I'd be waddling.

It'd be so nice to have curves *sigh* ...to be able to look good in a strapless gown or a swimsuit...but I comfort myself with the knowledge that I can eat ANYTHING I want, whenever I want, however MUCH I want, and I'll never have to worry about a weight problem (although being too underweight is as much of a problem as being too overweight).

And babe, I'd love to get to your weight. You look like what people would call "slender." You wanna talk about bony? Just ask TS about bony. I hate wearing short skirts or sleeveless shirts because I have chicken legs and bony elbows. And a bathing suit? HAH! Not unless I want to kill someone with my hipbones.

Don't bother explaining about the food allergies. Just say you were blessed with a fast metabolism. Tell 'em you ate before you got to work or something. Fake going to lunch. Or, you could put a sign on your desk that says: "Ask me about my tapeworm." *wink* That should steer them in the opposite direction....

i weigh more than stacy and jinx together, each holding one end of ladysidhe's dismembered torso.

Thank you for that lovely visual, LJ! :p

Does that count anything below your shoulders?
