Back handed compliments

[puddicat]

Just been out shopping, and also to get a mate a card as she is going into hospital this week for major surgery, got talking to this woman who was buying a card for a lady that had just lost her baby sadly, and the woman said sorry to me as she thought i was pregnant and didnt want to upset me, when i told her i wasnt she was so embarrassed, i said its ok but seeing i am nearly 53 would be a bloody miracle lol, knew that i had put weight on but not that much,Ho Hum its back to the gym and the diet again.

Luckly enough for me, i'm naturally thin.
I go to the gym nearly every day and i do have a good appertite. There is a couple of the lads at work who are quite "pudsy" but they don't mind people calling them stuff, they just take it as a joke.
We have the annual eatathon at work, i think its in about 2 weeks. Plenty of dieting in the run up to that. I'm not entering this year though, i was tipped off by one of the organisors its curry on the menu.

Sometimes people say stupid things....and this was one of them!
It could be a compliment because you look young enough to be pregnant ... or an insult because you've developed a bit of a tum! Or both!!

When I hit 50 last year I had the option of drawing an occupational pension I took out some years ago and decided I might as well have the money now. I was telling a (younger) colleague at work about it. She looked at me and said "You don't look too bad for a woman of 65."
Does anyone have the number of a good plastic surgeon?

Sheesh, crossroads, that baby looks like one of those wrinkly dogs!

[crossroads]

Poor baby.

Used to go to the gym alot, but due to having major surgery and my job demands, means that i cant aways get there, try to walk alot though done 3miles today and will try and fit in a bit more, i am only a size 14/16 5ft 6ins tall, not bad our family has always had a bit of a pot stomach,even if we get skinny we always have a tummy, and when the menopause kicks in it tends to pad out in that area, oh i wish i could afford a tummy tuck, mind you i would look like the map of Austraillia was all the scarring lol!

[fine,thanks]

i think you should be happy the women thought you were still of child bearing age,

I walk to work sometimes, its about 4 miles there and 4 miles back every day apart from some saturdays and sunday.
I wouldn't want any cosmetics done to me.
Don't want to end up like a plastic doll.

Hi Puddicat,i also have tummy problems and would love a tuck.Also very unhappy about one crease above my nose,so i booked in for Botox.My sister came to visit from Wales last week and i mentioned it to her.We`ve had a lot of family bereavements,4 of them kids.She told me i should be thankful i`ve got the chance to grow old.It certainly made me think and i cancelled the Botox.So what if ive got a bit of a tum & a few wrinkles,its health & happiness that matter.

[Dr Red]

Got half way through this course, but got into money trouble and ended up quitting.
If it wasn't this one it was a similar one.
