Office Girls Porking up

[oatmeal]

Two of the women at my work have recently piled on the pounds. Unfortunately for the same sad reason. One recently had another child and her husband cheated on her so they are getting a divorce. She lost the baby weight pretty fast but stating around December she has been blowing up. New double chin and her middle is bigger now then when she was pregnant. She wore a maternity dress last week and it was so tight i overheard her manager debating about sending her home for violating dress code. Thankfully she refrained from doing so. Despite the divorce she is in a great mood everyday at work and seems to be doing well, or atleast eatting well.

Another women, who was already pretty big, maybe 230, has been steadily growing over the past six months since her husband left her. We talk frequently and she confided in me that she has gone up four dress sizes and "needs to lose weight so she doesnt weigh 300 pounds". I typically go to tje gym at lunch so she was asjing about my work out routine. I doubt she is 300 yet but was concerned with getting there. She is constantly on crash diets that last a few days and end with binge eating. For example she will have nothing but hummus for lunch for two days then on the third walk back into the breakroom with two dairy queen burgers and a blizzard. Both women went back for seconds on the birthday cake we had earlier this week.
