I think it's time, don't you? We're past the point of things being a little tight…
I mean, if you're asking, you are sort of… spilling out of your shirt. Not like a lot... but definitely more than you can see past that belly of yours.
No no, it's not just this shirt, it's like all of your shirts at this point. Did you not notice you've been tugging them back down all the time? It's not the dryer, my clothes are all totally fine.
It's nothing to worry about! Just a bit of belly. Okay, maybe more than a bit… it's just a few stretch marks, don't be dramatic...
And if we're already going shopping, maybe some bigger pants, too?
It's just that I've seen those red lines on your waist and hips when you unbutton your jeans. And you've been getting kind of out of breath trying to button them. And your sweatpants are getting kind of stretched out. I threw out that grey pair where the elastic snapped... those things were on the verge of shredding, like one good meal away.
I'm not saying you're fat, you're just… a little bigger than you used to be, you know? Your body changes over time, it's totally normal. You've got a bit of an appetite… not to mention more than a bit of a sweet tooth.
I really don't think it's good for you to be squeezed into uncomfortable clothes that don't fit all the time, that's why they make bigger clothes! So you can fit into them! For a little while, at least.
Maybe, just hear me out for a second, we go up… two sizes?
I know, I know. Once there's multiple extras in front of the "large" it sounds really, really big, but this way there's no way they'll feel tight on you! You can have a big dinner, sneak some of your late night ice cream, and still—
Yes, I know about the late night ice cream. Your shirts get these little chocolate drips on them... And you're not exactly graceful getting in and out of bed at this size.
Anyways, I think two sizes up, don't you? Good.
I'm not enabling you, I'm just… making sure you're comfortable and happy... and full.
I know that look, you're hungry again aren't you? We'll stop for milkshakes on the way home, you love a midday milkshake. Not wasting any time starting to fill out those new clothes right away, huh?
