With a deep breath, Martha took a long, hard look at her reflection. She had known she'd been putting on a little weight in the last few weeks. Her pants were getting tighter--no, if she was honest, most of them she would be unable to even button if she tried them on now. Her favorite jacket would barely close, and felt uncomfortably snug around her arms.
