Barb,
I am just curious...I am not really overweight either. A size 10,
actually, but I definitely have an abdomen that looks like I am 5 or 6
months pregnant that bothers me. The rest of my body is rather thin, so
I look like a skinny pregnant woman. Is this what you are describing
with you? What is the deal with sugar???? Even if I lost 10 more pounds
(to be a size 8), I would still have a larger abdomen than I should, I
think. What are your thoughts on my situation, too?
