Sympathy Weight

Sympathy weight gain is often common. It is horrible to be surrounded by thinness when you are in a stage of expansion. So, it is nice when you are joined by others. I am not talking about my husband. He is nice, but not that nice to me. (He did name my leg stumpy in the first place.) I am talking about stumpy and stumpy's best buddy, Chubby.

That is right (or left) stumpy has now been joined by leg #2, how nice.


Stumpy.



Stumpy and friend.

I try really hard to rest and put my feet up. I can't wear those Sheer Energy Panty Hose in the warm weather. Besides I need flip flops and they look really tacky with "Hose" on. I try not to waddle, but I've lost the ability to bend my foot (stairs are quite a trick).

This is all my fault.

I don't know how many poor, pregnant, swollen, women I have laughed at as I use one of my favorite descriptors, "pregnant toes" second only to "pregnant nose." I remember referring to one poor girl's toes as "Vienna Sausages." See karma has gotten me again.

For now, I long for my scrawny, white, legs with a valuable lesson learned. I am looking forward to seeing how big I can get from my thighs down (it will make the weight loss all that more dramatic). My newest trick is putting chubby on stumpy and letting it sit fora couple minutes, then moving it and seeing the crater of an indention left in my foot. It is cool, in that Vienna Sausage sort of way.


Look for the dent on stumpy.
