I guess skinny bakers/cooks can't be trusted!
As long as ya'll keep putting smiley's behind these comments I won't get offended.
Come on now. Those sayings are getting a little old. How many buttons would I push if I said, "She must be a great baker because she so fat"
(does it make it better with the smiley?). We all know a dress size doesn't constitute how good of baker you are.
If you feel like you're gaining weight due to sampling, cut back. I don't sample everything I make because I make it based on a recipe and I know if I made it and tasted it the first 5 times, chances are it still tastes the same. If you really need to taste test, make your DH do it, so he can gain the weight (that's the other route I go).
I went up to a size 16 when I was pregnant with my twins (from a size 6) and the whole time I still thought I looked fabulous. When I started dropping the weight, I kept saying, "Still fabulous". You make or break how good you look. If you're on the pudgy side, WORK IT! You're as fabulous as you want to be.
I've been looking for a waist cincher/corset type thing to rein in my gut when necessary.
Sorry!
