Ah Pui

Finally, somebody commented.

"Are you wearing a smaller top or have you put on weight?"

I've put on weight.

I've known it ever since I went back to the working world. Clothes that have served me well for donkey years are getting a bit tight around the tummy area. New pants had to be bought urgently as the old pants were threatening to split at the seams any time.

Unfortunately, when it comes to acquisition of new tops, I'm a bit of a fusspot and now that I have a new criteria - must be loose around the tummy - it's tougher getting tops for work. As a result, occasionally, those old tops had to be worn, making me look somewhat like a dumpling.

On one hand, I want to lose the extra weight I've been carrying. But, on the other hand, I would need that extra weight to see me through the first months of my next pregnancy. 

Sigh. What's a woman to do in these times? (Get a corset?)

I can soooo relate to what you are experiencing, Nad! I've gained abt 7kg over the last 6 mths, in my attempt to gain some weight. Sampai my colleagues came to me and asked me whether I'm pregnant. Ahakz! My problem lies mostly with my working pants. But I take it positively - IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE OF WARDROBE!
