The Confessions of Mrs. Sprat


It all started with my friend's observation a few months ago.

"Wow, Greg has lost a lot of weight. He looks really hot...Are you worried?"

Am I worried!?

Well I wasn't until right then. Up until then, I was busy being proud of my man and enjoying his new hunky physique. Until then, I relished the second looks he was getting from other women. Perhaps it was naivete or an overly healthy self image but it had never occurred to me to be worried.

So now I'm worried. I'm worried that we might be a Jack Sprat couple. I'm worried that when people look at us they wonder what he is doing with me. I'm worried that my new found insecurities will make me even less attractive.

Most of all, I'm worried that her very question implies that I should be worried.
