Are you eating for two?

I've never been asked this before, but I've been with a friend that has. And, coincidentally, it was also at Target. LOL She got really offended when she was asked, but I think it was because of her shirt. It was one of those empire waisted shirts and they make me look pregnant if I'm not careful. Thank goodness she is pregnant for real now though.

Lol no not yet but I am waiting for it as my Stomach has still not gone down much lol it is about time it does

I would be mortified if someone asked me that! What did you say?! I guess that might be a form of motivation to get back to eating right and exercising.

Hmmmmmm must be fuuny rather shocking situation it seems that u enjoyed it rather than getting angry and it also seems that it trigger ur motivation level to get control of ur fats Take care

hi maddys mom well try this on. I walked out of ther grocery store and was stopped by this lady about my age, maybe fifty or so, and she asked me , "how far along are you dear? I may have some of myolder pregnancy clothes that would fit you, love" I was dumbfounded, then I said, " lady I dont need pregnancy clothes, I am not pregnant. see this grey hair? I am fifty five, how the hell old are you, since your eyes seem to be failing You?" She turned red and almost ran off to her car. I stood there and laughed, yes i was overweight but what right did she have spouting off at me like her.

I was just talking about this yesterday with someone! I occasionally get asked this. Really, it is very rude to say such things to someone. Even if they are pregnant. And, it doesn't seem as if people say it in a good way but as if they are really saying, "Hey, you are fat." What galls me most is the ones that say things of that nature that look as though they haven't put a fork down their entire life. LOL Hope you have a great day and happy mylotting!

I think its rude to ask. plus why this was bothering them? you are buying food for son and hubby. they should be less bothered.

I eat a lot but im not eating for two.I love to eat pizza and lots of yummy food and for me its the best past time; eating. I have gained weight and one of my officemate calledme fatso.Its ok, since im not really worried about it since i oly weigh a hundred pounds so theres no need to panic on my part. Thank you for this discussion and have a nice day!

Yes and I think it is the rudest question ever. A couple of years ago, i'd put on some weight and of course it goes right to my middle. I was very self-concious and tried to dress to cover it as well as work on the weight. It seemed like just when I'd lose a few pounds and start to feel that progress was being made, someone would toss such a question out at me and it'd make me feel just horrible. I tell them, "no...I'm just fat and thanx for making my day." I've since lost the weight and i'm 5'7 and weigh 117 pounds. I am far from overweight. In fact, now I feel that I'm underweight. I love those little high waisted tops and now I can wear them and not feel that I even look pregnant. Still, so often some man(and it is ALWAYS a man) will ask me if i'm expecting. it still makes me feel bad even tho i know it is just the shirt now. It could have been the shirt you were wearing.

No it has not happened to me, but I can imagine that it was pretty distressing for you. I always have to watch my weight too, it is not much fun living on healthy foods!

hi maddysmommy that is so unkind and nasty. I got that asked of 'me one time about two months after Ihad had my second child. I said well no, but congratulations on your coming pregnancy. oh my this lady was furious then, I I Im not pregnant thank you very much. and she stomped off. My husband laughed every time he remembered that little exchange.Dont let that get to you,probably your rude commenter was a bit overweight also. Those people who have the gall to say such things to complete strangers belong on the lower rings of Dantes version of Hell. lolo lo

getting too fat can also be attributed to genetic imbalance or hormones. it is not necessary that u eat a lot if you are fat. take my case i am a bit fat but i eat far less than what my very very thin and slim friends eat. so, tell them that you are not eating too much.

Hello maddysmommy, I haven't experience being mistaken for pregnant. Because actually I have to monitor my weight so I can maintain ideal weight.But it's the other way around because my case is quite weird which is I have to eat with full stomach every meal just to maintain ideal weight, Because I have a fast metabolism, so no matter how much I eat I won't gain too much weight but I could gain ideal BMI, if I would eat more. Though I haven't experienced you case I have friends and family member who just like you sometimes being mistaken for pregnant. I even met people whom I thought was pregnant but actually they're not, that's why sometime while I was working in clinic, I hesitate to ask my patient if they pregnant or not because I know that question would upset them a little if they're not pregnant.

i know that feeling so well. this has happened to me too. some people just dont have any consideration for others feelings. i did get upset but i did not let that man get the better of me. instead i ordered another round. i was sick the next day but it kind of felt good seeing the shock on his face.

In the past I have been asked if I was pregnant or when the baby is due. Because I felt this was a rude question for a stranger to ask I would respond with, "I'm not pregnant, just fat." This didn't help my hurt feelings but it did embarrass the enquirer and often made them rush off. Of course I would then be depressed over it for some time and try hiding away from the entire world when possible. A little more than 2 years ago I had all I could take and after trying every other option including starvation I had gastric bypass. I have lost 145 pounds and am living life to its fullest. Over time I have come to learn that I am the same person inside that I was back then. Now I am not afraid to show it. I could kick myself for sitting on the sidelines for so many years because of the stupidity of others.

It never ceases to amaze me what ppl will say...try not to let it get you down. Thankfully I've never been asked this b/c it would probably make me hole up in my house and never come out again. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

I remember it vividly. I was out with my new boyfriend and about 19 years old. He ran into an old friend of his who asked him if he was going to be the father. I was mortified and then he said oh no she is just fat. Needless to say that relationship didn't work! I never assume any one is pregnant and would never think of saying something to someone.

I would have been so embarrassed! I do have a tiny tummy pooch myself.

Oh, no! That is why I, myself, do not ask strangers/acquaintances if they're pregnant or anything related to that field until it is very obvious. Maybe the person was referring to the amount of food that you were getting. I am sure that's it! In my culture, a lot of people don't hesitate to tell me if I've gained weight. Most likely, the first thing they would say when we see each other for the first time after a while would be "oh, look at you, you've grown fat" in our dialect. I'm sure they don't think it's offensive but it is hurtful even if they don't mean it that way. A lot of times, I tell them it's because we get to eat whatever we want and we have abundance of food where we are or I just shock them by telling them I'm pregnant (getting pregnant before marriage is frowned upon over there) even though I'm not. That shuts them up for a few minutes and gives me some kind of amusement.

I have happened to this kind of case, but I feel people should be in a polite way to make comments for others, if you are not sure for the things, please don't have your comments freely. Enjoy yourself & Have a nice day!
