Your post is hilarious.
I agree with that. If your "partner" insists on handing you food, how many fights is it worth to keep from gaining 5 lbs.?
which is my point. American women stop caring what they look like after they are married. the media is partially to blame as they push the mindset that a woman is supposed to gain 40-50 pounds after having a child (and in some cases, just for getting older).
it just drives me crazy... and i dare not say anything or i’m a ‘bad person’ (like that matters)
I agree with you 100 %. It drives me crazy as well. Glad I have bucked the stats :-). I feel good anyway!! You sound like an honest, insightful, up front person. Just shows if anyone calls you bad how they can’t handle the truth of the matter and how solidified the delusion is.
but, but.... There are slobs and then there are fat slobs. Please don’t lump them all together. rofl
I weighed about 110 lbs when my husband and I wed back in 1995 (15 years in March!)...I’ve had four kids and I now weigh about 3 or 4 lbs above what I weighed when I got married. I’m 5’4” and wear a size 4 (okay, sometimes a 6 depending on the pants/skirt). Just don’t ask me about my stretch marks, LOL (I did gain 50+ lbs with my first baby, after all).
In case you’re wondering, I can eat like a field hand and not really gain anything. I thank the high metabolism passed on to me by Dad’s side of the family—my grandmother had four kids too and she’s tall and slender even at 80. And I recently started working out with the Wii Fit Plus dh got me for Christmas. Not to lose weight, but I need to be in shape to keep up with my Tasmanian Devil of a 2 y.o.!
For sure you write well.
