I am feeling so frustrated today! I am a teacher and one of my students asked me if I was pregnant. Well I am NOT pregnant, and I don't think I am that overweight (I need to lose about 15 pounds). Why would you ask someone if they are pregnant when they don't have that large, round baby belly which I obvously don't have! I had some ladies at my old work who would constantly ask the same thing. I don't think they understood that I wasn't (English was their second language). They would pat my belly and smile at me for almost three weeks until I had a mini meltdown saying very loudly, "NO BABY!"

I am just so frustrated becasue I was doing so good counting my calories and working out and then April came and I haven't really done anything for the last two weeks of it. Maybe for mysake and that of the imaginary baby (lol), I really need to get back to it, but I really can't find the motivation to get going.

    Sometimes people are just rude. Anyway, even if a person is pregnant, I don't know why that suddenly gives people the right to invade their personal space and touch them all the time. I don't ever plan to have children, but I would punch people for assuming they can touch me without asking!

    That aside, keep up your hard work! Belly fat is difficult to combat (Mine won't piss off either.) One day people will be asking you how you got those killer abs! :smile:

    Thanks:) That made smile. I have no clue why people think they can touch your stomach or ask a question like that. I wish people would learn better manners.
