Ode to my ever growing backside

O, my ever growing backside
When did you arrive?
Where once I was quite thin,
now in my pants a bubble hides.

O, my ever growing backside
I’ve tried to run away from you.
But you keep following me
the whole day through.

O, my ever growing backside
you taunt me with skin of cottage cheese.
How can I feel feminine
with buttocks such as these.

O, my ever growing backside
my pants no longer fit.
I see myself in the mirror
and I really feel like shit.

O, my ever growing backside
this really isn’t fair.
To give a woman like myself
a gigantic derri?re.

O, my ever growing backside
of you I am not a fan.
but, I guess I am quite lucky
that my husband is an ass man.

    Seriously, when did I put on that 8 pounds. I had to buy a size up in shorts today. I was like these look good, then I thought…FUCK a size WHAT!

    I thought kids were suppose to make us thin?

    I feel your pain Elle. Why is it that even when we adopt, we still put on “mommy weight?” I’ve been told I have a “ghetto butt.” Real nice.
