Just been out shopping, and also to get a mate a card as she is going into hospital this week for major surgery, got talking to this woman who was buying a card for a lady that had just lost her baby sadly, and the woman said sorry to me as she thought i was pregnant and didnt want to upset me, when i told her i wasnt she was so embarrassed, i said its ok but seeing i am nearly 53 would be a bloody miracle lol, knew that i had put weight on but not that much,Ho Hum its back to the gym and the diet again.

Luckly enough for me, i'm naturally thin.
I go to the gym nearly every day and i do have a good appertite. There is a couple of the lads at work who are quite "pudsy" but they don't mind people calling them stuff, they just take it as a joke.
We have the annual eatathon at work, i think its in about 2 weeks. Plenty of dieting in the run up to that. I'm not entering this year though, i was tipped off by one of the organisors its curry on the menu.
Sometimes people say stupid things....and this was one of them!
It could be a compliment because you look young enough to be pregnant ... or an insult because you've developed a bit of a tum! Or both!!
Sorry, couldn't resist this after Le Chat's post: http://www.babyreference.com/images/M-E-fat%20 baby.jpg
When I hit 50 last year I had the option of drawing an occupational pension I took out some years ago and decided I might as well have the money now. I was telling a (younger) colleague at work about it. She looked at me and said "You don't look too bad for a woman of 65."
Does anyone have the number of a good plastic surgeon?
Sheesh, crossroads, that baby looks like one of those wrinkly dogs!
Poor baby.
Question Author
Used to go to the gym alot, but due to having major surgery and my job demands, means that i cant aways get there, try to walk alot though done 3miles today and will try and fit in a bit more, i am only a size 14/16 5ft 6ins tall, not bad our family has always had a bit of a pot stomach,even if we get skinny we always have a tummy, and when the menopause kicks in it tends to pad out in that area, oh i wish i could afford a tummy tuck, mind you i would look like the map of Austraillia was all the scarring lol!
i think you should be happy the women thought you were still of child bearing age,
(crossroads)
I walk to work sometimes, its about 4 miles there and 4 miles back every day apart from some saturdays and sunday.
I wouldn't want any cosmetics done to me.
Don't want to end up like a plastic doll.

btw: i meant crossroads has been banned so its Dr Red for now.
dr red are you a real dr ?
I was a doctor for about 3 years then i became a web designer and a year after that began working freelance as a cameraman.
Anything else fine;thanks?
You're a bloke?
indeed dr red, where did you do medicine,?
Oh yes i am b00.
Well blimey, never knew that! Always presumed you were a woman- sorry!
Hi Puddicat,i also have tummy problems and would love a tuck.Also very unhappy about one crease above my nose,so i booked in for Botox.My sister came to visit from Wales last week and i mentioned it to her.We`ve had a lot of family bereavements,4 of them kids.She told me i should be thankful i`ve got the chance to grow old.It certainly made me think and i cancelled the Botox.So what if ive got a bit of a tum & a few wrinkles,its health & happiness that matter.
Got half way through this course, but got into money trouble and ended up quitting.
If it wasn't this one it was a similar one.
