Expecting...

I was on a busy, crowded train home the other evening. Vladdy and I were seperated by the large group of sardines squashed into the carriage so I didnt really have anyone to talk to. So I just stood in my corner and held on as best I could so I wouldnt fall over.

About halfway into the ride home a lady caught my eye, looked at my stomach and then offered me a seat.
All I can presume from this is that she thought I was pregnant. I declined the offer by shaking my head and turning a bright shade of red.
I would have let this go and not thought another thing about it (or tried to) if 5 minutes later ANOTHER woman offered me her seat aswell.

Yes, I am currently a bit overweight. Nothing major - but it all seems to be focused on my stomach. I am eating better and exercising more to try and help the situation. Bailey and I are going for walks a lot.

But just to clarify to the world...I am NOT pregnant. Just fat.
If I were pregnant - I'd be letting myself eat whatever the hell I wanted! No more sensible eating plans - bring on the cravings!!

I'm still not sure which way to take it - being offended or finding it funny.

Hasnt happened since - so must be looking less pregnant this week!
