I think it's time to lose weight

And, when I weighed 80lbs more than I do now, many years ago, I took full advantage of a empire-waisted summer dress I had. There's a mall across the street from my job; I often go there for lunch. Well, it's hard to cross, because of the traffic. After I wore that dress a few times, I realized that folks stopped to let me cross--which they seldom did when I wore anything else. Then it dawned on me--with my belly at the time, if I stood a certain way, I must've looked preggers! Well, I started pooching out the old gut even more when I stood there, put my hands on my lower back, like heavily-pregnant ladies do, when their backs hurt. Worked like a charm! And, it was a hoot to start waddling, THEN break into a run, like a gazelle--must have annoyed the poop out of them!

If it isn't it should be. What an embarrassing situation. It's not worth risking, just wait it out, if the person is really pregnant thier probably going to tell you anyway.
