They are everywhere. It's half the penchant for plastic surgery and half the French je ne said quoi. <br /> <br />And it's disconcerting walking behind another lady and thinking to yourself (as we all do - admit it) "mm, nice legs/shoes/figure/toned butt etc" only to have the woman turn around and realise she is at least as old as your mother.<br /><br />And they all have better clothes, figures, wardrobes, hair, pedicures, budgets and handbags than me. <br /><br />And they're all 50+. <br /><br />Ouch.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705533472423216607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-68676517254277941552011-02-19T09:50:33.870-08:002011-02-19T09:50:33.870-08:00I was used to being in the lower end/middle size w...I was used to being in the lower end/middle size wise in the UK and hate the fact that I am at the FAT end in France. I'm not fat, I'm overweight (I wasn't until I quit smoking, got pregnant etc). I just don't know how French women do it, how they can be so stick thin. Once I give birth I am going to have to work real hard to slim down :(PigletinFrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649204517903205660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-39599727375717749032011-02-18T10:51:19.162-08:002011-02-18T10:51:19.162-08:00We have some fat people up here.

I'd like to say I see less here than I saw "in America," but seeing as my version of America is mostly just UCSB and Orange County, I really can't. I know that this isn't the case for the majority of the US and that we deserve the fat stereotype, but still. My "principal" last year was fat and this year I have a couple bigger students (but maybe these are just the excpetions that prove the French People Are Never Fat rule!).laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263960049152617876noreply@blogger.com
