pregnant?

I actually had another woman, who should know better, ask if I was pregnant. Hello? Do I look like I'm in child bearing years?

I made a joke about being flat on top, which makes my tummy look bigger but she was clueless making a comment about her having small breasts too. So. . . . I just couldn't help myself and told her cancer took mine and at 63 years old I didn't think I needed them anymore and chose no reconstruction. 

She stood there with her mouth open as I walked away. Do you think she learned a lesson? What if she had asked this of someone who cannot have children? 

Us gals tend to carry our weight in our tummy, especially from having babies. Or in my case, from slowed down metabolism, under active thyroid and a chest that is somewhat sunken in. 

I'm no bigger in my tummy than any other woman, but I suppose mine is more noticeable. Not that I care that much. But this woman needs a filter!

 

I suppose it bothered me more than I thought. Now, I'm now practically starving myself (not really, but it's hard) by giving up the things I love. . . . like potatoes, pasta, sweets and bread. I did unsweetened tea for a month and just couldn't continue to deprive my Texas roots so I went back to sweet tea, although it's far less sugar than most people use because my grands think it's unsweetened tea. I've lost 10 pounds but I don't think it's noticeable yet. Maybe I'll try for 10 more.
