He pulled at the pooch on my tummy which is now a little more than a pooch and said teasingly, “where did you get this from?”, he gave it a small tug and said, “did you put it in your shopping trolley at ASDA?”
I don’t like people to touch my fat but the fact that he could take some of it meant, to me, that:
1. I have indeed got fat. That pully thing never used to happen. Never!
2. He noticed it and called me out on it!! (horrified face)
I like my Nutella on a teaspoon, and won’t say no to peanut butter and jam on toast because there is a small American sitting inside of me who adores PB&J time. I like burgers and melted cheese and plenty of golden roasted potatoes and gelato is something that has become my weakness much like penguins are.
Only I don’t eat penguins, I eat gelato.
But aren’t penguins cute?!
He noticed and now I have to go along to the gym with him, and workout daily and sweat profusely because I don’t want to be podgy while he gains some wondrous muscles and luscious abs. Oh dear. I do like exercise though.
I just don’t like not having chocolate and sweets and penguin gelato. That is the worst bit. I am a pure foodie like my mama before me and her mama before her. I can’t understand how people can say no to such things. I know, it is an exhibition of self control and lack of greed which apparently is something to aspire to but… but… oreos!
Also I am a good cook (honest!) and I thoroughly enjoy cooking which doesn’t help my dilemma at all. People who like to cook cannot exist on mere salads. Fact.
I do like fruits and vegetables and salads and healthy smoothies though. They might be a soothing alternative to my inflated dessert brain. Withdrawal symptoms will certainly occur. After all, sugar is a drug. A very attainable drug at that!
Oh dear. I can relate. I tried on a pair of last year’s jeans this morning and it was a no-go. I don’t each much because I’m a terrible cook. My problem is writing all day in my recliner. The treadmill is shouting my name.

Oh jeans are always the first sign! It just creeps up on you doesn’t it. Sigh.
