I Am Fat
Posted by Ling on August 8, 2011
At Church yesterday, this lady who shall remain anonymous comes up to me and pats me on my belly.
She said : Are you pregnant?
I said : NO!
She said : Oh! You look pregnant!
…Sorry lady, I’m just fat!!
I can see me being terribly upset if this comment was made a few days ago when I was going through emotional times – especially as it was related to babies and all that jazz. However, my heart is less troubled as there is no point in worrying about things beyond my control. Well, what I can control is my food intake and exercise frequency. DAMMIT!! I don’t want to walk around looking like a prego lady! Or I could just read the book that Hubby got me a few days ago – “How To Not Look Fat Ever Again”.
Which also reminds me…
A few weeks ago, a girlfriend asked me the same thing. She asked if I was pregnant as my belly was sticking out…
I don’t personally think I am that fat. But what if I am delusional? What if I am one of those people who cannot see the immense weight gain till it is too late? Admittedly, I am not as toned as I used to be, i.e. pre-marriage. Speaking of marriage, it is officially our 1st wedding anniversary tomorrow. We got married twice. One in Australia and one in Scotland. The Scottish one is the one that really counts though so that is tomorrow. Time flies.
Apologies for my weird ramblings these days. It’s so incoherent and I really dislike disjointed blog posts like this. But yeah. Hopefully, I’ll get my mojo back and be more interesting soon.
Thanks for reading!

No other way to say it Ling, stop pigging out esp on nachos etc. The food is lovely but think about it, ‘A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips – or in this case, in the belly’. Look into more exercising as well even though its hard with busy lifestyle, so gotta watch the food intake.
Btw, Happy One Year Anniversary to you and Noah!

What a rude, rude woman! People have no class these days. I also read your beauty blog and judging from your OOTD post, you are NOT fat. If you want to tone up for yourself, then go for it and have fun
. Happy anniversary!!!

You most certainly are not fat my dear, you have a slim figure. I’ve been asked the same ‘are you pregnant’ a lot lately, and it’s because like most women I carry any extra weight around my middle. I eat healthily most of the time and am happy, so my advice to you would be to take care of yourself emotionally, to feel the same- enjoy time with Noah and work through the things that have made you sad (I know it’s hard) but it’s very important to stay happy and not stress about weight. As long as you feel healthy, you will be fine!
My rambles may be a bit disjointed,but you get my drift!
You’re beautiful, inside and out!
