Belly Blog
As long as I can remember, I have had a big, fat belly. Even when I lost weight, I still had this ginormous belly poking out.
I have no ass. It's flat. Why can't I have a fat ass and a flat belly. I could live with that!
Last week I was in the store carrying a sleeping SJ. A lady made a comment about how nice it would be to sleep like that and then commented that she could see I have another one on the way. (This is not the first time this has happened to me, by the way.)
I said, "No, I just carry a lot of fat on my belly."
She said, "You're just teasing, right?"
"No," I said.
She was embarrassed and didn't know how to recover. I wasn't mad. I have a FAT belly. But people get truly flustered when they make this mistake.
Should I just lie and pretend that I'm about five months along? It would be less awkward.
Remember the maternity shirts that read, "I'm not fat. I'm pregnant."
I want a shirt that says, "I'm not pregnant. I'm fat." Size XXL, please.

Once in Miami I was standing on line at the supermarket. I guess I had my hand on one hip and my tummy sticking out. The cashier was like, "When are you due?" I was so irritated...
I know what you mean, though...I'd like to move all tummy weight to my boobs...TMI, but this is the TMI SPOT!!!!
;)
You are beautiful
Ohmigod, Carolyn, we must be related...I have had all kinds of people ask if I am pregnant "again" (with Jude, obviously not with James....I am insane but not so insane that I think i should be skinny two weeks after birth!)
I just carry my fat in the belly. Even when I was prime fighting weight and a size 8 (for someone 5'9" that's pretty good) I still had flabby belly. All the crunches and situps in the world cannot get rid of it. I might just follow my Perfect SIL's example and get a tummy tuck with all my disposable income : )
and we are still beautiful : )
I rigidly follow your advice on women that look pregnant, Babelbabe. I only assume a woman is pregnant if I see a baby actually emerging from her body.
That's the way to do it ;)
