today at the gym
“When are you due?” asked my former personal trainer, her face full of delight, smiling at me as I bee-lined towards the locker room.
Now, alright. As someone whose weight has yo-yo’d over the past decade, this is not the first time I’ve been asked that. But come on, people of the world. KNOCK IT OFF! Unless someone looks at you and announces, verbally, “I’m pregnant!” you are NOT ALLOWED TO ASK THAT QUESTION!
“Errrrr,” I grimaced. “Faux pas, dude. I’m just fat.”
She looked horrified, apologized and gave me a hug. Yikes.
Not a good moment. But who cares? I’m making vegan blackberry cobbler for dessert tonight anyway!
Also, at least I was at the gym. FAR less humiliating than when I was in my 20s at the grocery store buying fatty fried frozen things and got asked the same question.
What a total bitch! I would have told her to fuck off! You look incredible, yeah for cobbler, eat some for please!
every time i start gaining weight, just go to a couple of hot yoga classes. even if it’s just water weight at first, it’s still instant results – plus you feel great after all those toxins are gone. and then i start getting all smug about attending yoga classes haha.
I see Groupons for those classes all the time and always think nah, I’m sweaty enough ;). Seriously though, SOMETHING’S gotta give. I’m vegan again…it’s always worked in the past…
