1. I am missing the special attention from ward members asking if I am pregnant.
2. Three-quarters of my wardrobe will soon be available for purchase at the local DI.
3. When people ask how I lost all the weight, they get really disappointed when they hear I ate reasonably and exercised.
4. Mr. Hic has developed the very disconcerting habit of carrying me around like a sack of potatoes.
5. My capacity for belly button lint storage has decreased to critical lows. What will I do in a lint emergency? My neighbors have plenty, but I doubt they'll share.
6. I feel so insignificant.
7. Because I displace less water, it takes more to fill the bathtub. Environmentalists are sending me hatemail.
8. Without my winter insulation, I feel so vulnerable. And cold.
9. The local McDonald's had to do layoffs.
10. I'm too sexy for this forum.

You're right. I'd just get fatter not using my legs... the whole exercise thing.... Though I've always wanted one of those "litters" or those things that important people are carried around in... maybe it's cuz my kids expect me to carry them everywhere... :)

If you haven't noticed, I'm a little overweight. (Believe me it's noticable)
I then tell them that it's that dreaded baby fat.
Yup, I have gained 20 lbs with each and every pregancy and haven't been able to shed the baby fat.
It's good we stopped when we got to child #7.
It's too bad I can't be skinny like my wife... the babies sucked all of the fat out of her as she nursed herself back to skinniness every time.

Poncho, it's just that attention people give you when you they think you're pregnant. Everyone is super nice and they just smile at you for no reason. Not looking possibly pregnant, though, that is a very good thing.
Coolcucumbers, I didn't put it in #3, but I've been fairly open about the fact that I have also been going to OA meetings and doing 12-step work. For me, that actually been a pretty critical part.
Ok, and #11: I'm going to have to think up a different New Year's resolution.

Regarding number 1, I had a brother at church today come up to me and ask how the baby was.
Apparently, I've had the baby everyone thought I was pregnant with. Where, oh, where did I leave the baby?

Depending on your response Hiccups that's one of those moments where a little balloon should pop up pointing to the guy's mouth that says: INSERT FOOT HERE.
I just kept saying, "No baby," while shaking my head and smiling.

OA meetings? Wow, hiccups is a Scouter and a member of the Order of the Arrow! :woot:
Mahonri, you only gained 20 sympathetic pounds with each baby? I gained like 25... But, then you have seven Mahonri-ites. I have only 5 little cats... and I didn't really gain the full amount on #5.
For me, if I were to lose weight, the top worst things about it would be the extra skin, the loose stretch marks, and needing a new wardrobe. Oh, and I wouldn't be able to say that I carry part of my year supply and 72 hour kit with me 7x24x365...
