Me to me (self-talk): Holy smokes, I think my stomach is expanding, but I don’t want to get on the scale until I’m confident I’ve lost a few pounds, but how is this happening to me when I don’t think I’m eating any more than I ever did, yet there’s definitely a little bump protruding right where my belt buckle should be, and I either need to put the buckle above the protuberance, which then makes me look a bit weird when I tuck in my shirt, because my pants are approaching my neck, or I can tighten my belt just below the bulge, but then it makes my rear end look like all the young kids whose jeans are about to fall to the ground, so I believe the wise solution is to go out and buy a new and bigger belt before I eat my next cheeseburger.
