"Honey are you picking up weight?"

WOW! Somebody slapped me and bought me back to reality.  Yesterday was my Tuesday out with my Mother and the Seniors.  As everyone knows yesterday was not a good day to be going to Atlantic City, NJ with all the rain and bad weather, but the trip could not be canceled.  Because I'm always COLD anyway, I was wrapped up like a mummy with a pair of thermal underwear, thermal socks, a wool turtleneck sweater, a lined sweatsuit, hat and a coat.  Now, when I went up to the front of the bus to get a cup of coffee for my Mom one of the ladies asks me "Genie, are you starting to put your weight back on honey?"  "WHAT!" are you freaking' kidding me?  Can the two or three pounds I picked up be showing that much!?   Now I will admit I haven't been exercising and I've been snacking here and there, but the question showed in my face because when I got back to my seat my Mom wanted to know what the hell was wrong with me.  When I told her about the comment, she said don't worry about it.  Yea, okay little lady only weighing 135lbs soak and wet; a reality check fof me to get my butt back in the groove and back on track and the program BIG TIME!

unbelievable, I can't believe that someone would say that to you. Of course it had to be how bundled up were I don't think a few lbs would make someone say that. And wow, I can't believe that anyone would say that.

I know that mesed your day up. I'm sorry.

Janie it threw me totally out to the left field. OMG!

That's so crappy!!!
My in-law side of the family tell me all the time you look so much better since you've gained weight.  You used to be too skinny...
Well- ANY kind of "gaining" comment freaks me out.
It amazes me how 5-10 pounds actually shows on me now and before I could lose and gain 20 and no one would ever notice.
