But the fact remains that I have put on about 10 pounds in the last year. (Actually around 8, turns out there was a little lingering bloating, thankfully.) My top half looks the same, but all of the weight landed right on my rump. My pants are tighter, which I've noticed, and there are some pairs of shorts I can't wear right now because they creep up my crotch. You know what I'm talking about! It's time to stop this in its tracks. The problem is there is so much dang free food around the office and anyone who knows me knows I'm cheap and can't pass up a free meal. I have always said that I'm thankful for my fast metabolism, but I know that some day it will slow down and I'll have to be careful to notice when it does before my eating habits catch up with me. I guess that time has come since this is the second time in 3 years that I've had to dislodge these extra pounds. And WHEN will people realize they should never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she's in stirrups and you see a head crowning? A few years ago I had the misfortune of standing next to a friend (5 months post-baby) when the cafeteria lady asked her when the baby was due. It was excruciating for all of us and my friend felt like crap. Don't do it people! I’m not really too concerned about this; I mainly found Jasmine’s comments appalling and hilarious.

It kind of reminds me when I got back to work from pregnancy leave an an engineer asked me if I was pregnant again.
