My new friend, Jane, and I hadn’t weighed ourselves in a few months. I felt like I had gotten a little fatter because I had a pooch that hung over my panties, and Jane was positive that she had gained some weight as well.

Both of our bellies were jiggly, so we decided it was time to hit the scale. After we both weighed ourselves, it was no surprise why we looked so much bigger–we both had packed on some extra pounds.

We compared our fatter bodies to one another.
