Have you ever been asked how far along you were?

I am finally fed up.  I get it I am fat and look like I'm prego.  I have been smiling and telling people no I'm not pregnant I am just fat for a few years.  Secretly loving watching the look on their faces as they realize that they just put their foot in their mouths.  I don't know if now its just a matter of knowing I'm almost there on getting my revision, but today I finally snapped at a women.  I really didn't mean too but she crossed the line when she put her hand on my belly and gave it a little rub while asking when am I due. I announced loud and clear in the grocery store I AM FAT NOT PREGNANT!!!!  Can you believe she got snippy with me? Mad cause I kindof yelled it. I am sure people from the next isle over heard me.  Oh gee I'm so sorry. (heavy sarcasm) If I made you mad, embarrassed, or whatever humiliation you might have felt. How do you think I feel? GEE ya poor-thing. Sorry people turned to look at you.  

I had that same "apple" shape and got a lot of that crap!

I am feeling ticked off in your behalf!!!!  Insensitive people!  SEriously?  Do we need to wear one of those t-shirts with the arrows pointing to our gutt that says. "not a boy or a girl...just fat so shut the heck up"!!! 

I just hope that she thinks before doing it to the next women.

 Oh Crap I've been on the other side of that fence!  It happened several years ago, and I'll never forget.  I'm a nurse and I was changing into scrubs next to a woman who was normal sized except for her belly, which was huge and covered in stretch marks.  I smiled at her and asked how many weeks along she was.... she asked, "how many weeks WHAT?"

Open mouth, insert foot.  OMG.  She was NOT pregnant.  I felt horrible and I'll never forget it.  I never assume any more.  Never.  Ever.
