We had a lovely afternoon tea - the weight must be creeping on us as we had lunch at the bus station before we left and then tea before we left Drogheda . We had planned to catch the 6 pm bus home but in our talking we missed that that was why we joined the other Sisters for tea . Then it looked as though we would miss the 7 pm bus if we did n't hurry . Yet Bernadette did n't seem to be bothered .

Give answer the following question using evidence from the above passage: Why must the weight be creeping up on us ?
Because we are eating a lot .
