Just when I start thinking I look GOOD damn it, someone asks me when the baby is due?

 

What the hell??? Almost 80 pounds down in 8 months and they ask me when the baby is due.

 

Excuse me while I go sit in the corner and eat chocolate.:)

    Oh it's fine, it didn't really offend me (considering the source) just left me baffled more than anything. I am THRILLED with where I am at this point. I weigh less than I have weighed in my entire adult life....I have no complaints at all :) It was just, well, funny, sorta, in a sick and twisted way.

    People are so crazy. I get asked that ALL THE TIME. I have never had an hour glass figure. I am like a big old apple. I am a nurse and people always tell me not to get too close to certain medications because I don't want to harm my baby. I have even had people grab my tummy looking for a baby to kick. They are lucky I don't kick them....lol

    I kinda wish you'd just blow out a big nasty fart when they do that and say "oops! It's the baby!!!" but i'm sorta warped like that :)

    Thanks for the support guys. I feel great about where I am. And really, other than the dehydration/emergency unfill scenario it's not been a big deal. I have to work to get it off but I no longer have to starve and deprive myself to get it off. It makes all the difference in the world. For those of you just starting, stick with it, it is a magic little piece of plastic. I'm anxious to hit my 1 year anniversary and see how far I've come. My original 1 year goal was 75 pounds so I've reset to 100....won't break my heart if I don't make it but would be nice since it'll put me in the 190's for the first time since I was, oh 16 or so.:)
