Hey Andy - good thread.

At the height of my *"fatonistic" period* I was employed as a trainer of front line customer service reps in an office with remarkably high turnover rates.

As I sat at one of the 10 front-counter workstations with newbie after newbie, going through the ins and outs of our computer system, I can't count the number of customers who asked me if I was training my replacement for my maternity leave. My customary response "No, I'm just fat."

This, in front of every new employee I trained.

And if the "she-must-be-with-child-mistake" isn't a major misery of being an apple-shape weight gainer, I don't know what is.
