Almost forgot to post about my experience with a saleslady at John Lewis yesterday. I've been looking for a decent sports bra and I had picked up a couple from the rack plus some everyday bras that looked nice and was headed into the changing room. As the attendant started counting up the items the saleslady asked me if I was looking for anything in particular. When I said what I wanted she looked at my chest, obviously sizing up my boobs, and said "None of these are supportive enough for you. You don't want to get more saggy do you?" I was shocked into silence and just stood there with my mouth open.
She then looked at my stomach and said "Oh, and you need maternity bras!". I tried to laugh it off and explained that I wasn't pregnant. Instead of apologising or backtracking or quickly changing the subject she actually pointed at my stomach and said "Oh, I thought you were." Holy shit.
I didn't know whether to come home and drown my sorrows in four pints of ice cream or drive straight to the gym and spend four hours on the treadmill. I told J the whole sad story as we were getting in the car and then swore that I would never eat again, would live on water and would consider taking up smoking.
I do feel better today but what a way to make a girl feel like crap.

so, does that mean you are using two of the diet patches today?! hey, i am still preggers looking and liz is 3? years old. i am not proud of my body, but it keeps me going day after day. forget the sales lady..she probably works on commission and you didn't contribute to her paycheck! enjoy...life is too short to worry about your outward appearance. don't forget the chocolate sauce on the icecream! nana
Nice one! :/ I can't believe that lady said that to you... wonder if you'd get free stuff from John Lewis if you complained?
