" I am six months pregnant. Lately, several of my coworkers have been saying things like &amp;quot;Look, she&amp;#039;s eating again!&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Are you sure you&amp;#039;re not having twins?&amp;quot; I know I&amp;#039;m sensitive right now, but these jokes about my weight are really getting to me. What should I say? You&amp;#039;re not being sensitive; those comments really are rude. It&amp;#039;s possible that your colleagues think their remarks don&amp;#039;t bother you. Find an ally within the group and tell her how you feel. Having her speak up on your behalf may squelch the snide words. If not, you&amp;#039;ll have to fend off these folks yourself. You could take the direct route, calmly saying, &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t believe you&amp;#039;re being so thoughtless.&amp;quot; Then again, if you&amp;#039;re feeling a little feisty, you might breezily remark: &amp;quot;I guess you&amp;#039;ve never had a child, or you&amp;#039;d realize just how happy -- and hungry -- I am!&amp;quot; And remember, no matter how inconsiderate your coworkers are, don&amp;#039;t let them keep you from savoring your pregnancy -- and your food!
