because she apologized a million times, but I am so annoyed, so I'm posting. I am so sick of being told (not asked) that I'm pregnant. At least now I know why; she said something about the area above my waist. But last I checked, the uterus resides below the waist. It doesn't even make sense At this point every month some customer says something. I already feel fat due to the 8 pounds of water weight, and I have to be all nice and say "that's ok! " because I'm at work. What am I supposed to do, call in for a week every month? I've tried everything: diuretics, button-up shirts worn loose over a tank top, big tee-shirts. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that I'm behind a counter; that seemed to figure in to her assessment today (something about my leaning against it, I don't know). You all know how often I post about this. What do I do??? I can't take the hit to my self-esteem. And people do not call me fat, btw. I'm not skinny.

Yep.
Big shirt must be a maternity shirt.
Fitted shirt must be a stretchy maternity shirt.
Open button-up is a curtain to look past to find the baby bump.
Maybe next time I should say, "Nope, I'm celibate" or "Not unless it's Christmas and my name is Mary.""Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

Get a gag knife and say you're going to abort it then and there. Then "stab" yourself.
Or burst into tears and wail about how the father died/left you/ turned out to be married.
Or go into graphic detail about the Facehugger that attacked you on your way to work."For the love of all that is holy and 4 things that aren’t but feel pretty good anyway" ~ Gravekeeper

Ugh. Can't offer anything in the way of advice that hasn't already been given, but I'm sorry you're having to put up with this.
If you're in a joking/sarcastic mood, you could say, "Oh, I'm carrying it for a friend" and watch their reaction ...

Quoth PepperElf View PostAlso, check how much salt you're getting. IIRC too much salt intake can make the bloating even worse."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

Quoth Food Lady View PostI know I'm getting too much salt. But I do naturally have very slim hips (same measurement as my waist) and a pooch above the waist more than below.
*actual water-soda, juice, sports drinks, coffee, milk, etc don't count as far as your body's concerned.Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

I did try on one of those waist cinchers recently. It didn't help much. Wish I had the money to have a corset made. Seriously. Have wanted one for 15 years. And of course no one said anything today because the change is that dramatic."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably
