I don't mind putting on a few extra pounds. But when it gets to the point where I can't fit into my clothes and I have to buy new clothes just so I leave the house, I draw the line.I hate clothes shopping (15 minutes looking through racks of clothes just to find something you like that is in your price range, 10 minutes trying the clothees on , because I always seem to try everything on twice, like it will suddenly turn into a beautiful ballgown the second time, and five minutes finding the right racks to return all of the clothes to, because they made me look dumpy so that you can go to the next store and do it all again ). Umm.. what were we talking about, oh yeah, gaining weight. As long as it is within a 10 pound span or so, my feeling is, it is okay.
