Say what?

To paraphrase Russ’s great comeback, ”Yes, Diet and self-control is another way. Is that what you’re planning to do?”

Thanks guys. I really had to bite my tongue and not say what I wanted to.  Bless her heart, she loses 10 lbs. and gains back 15, diets again and loses 15, then gains back 20, etc., etc., etc. Sound familiar? - can't afford to get fired. This was said as she was holding a plate OVER-FILLED with cookies, candy, red velvet cake, chips & dip and she's eating a fudge brownie!  This gal is obese herself and is constantly on a diet of some kind. She is currently doing Weigh****chers again (this is about her 20th time). Bless her heart, she loses 10 lbs. and gains back 15,diest again and  loses 15, then gains back 20, etc., etc., etc. (Sound familiar?) But she thinks I should "just go on a diet and use some self control."   Ummmm . . . sure thing.  Piece of cake!

Reminds me of the story about Sir Winston Churchill and the lady at the party. One time when Sir Winston Churchill was drunk at a party a woman approached him and made note that he was drunk.  Sir Winston Churchill replied " Yes I am drunk.  However in the morning I will be sober.  You on the other hand will still be ugly."  I just love that story.

Hate to see ya go through crap like that Bama.  Everyone where I work is behind me 100% it appears.  I've not had a single negative thing said.  Most people are coming up to me and are excited as hell.  You'd think I was having a baby.... Wait.... maybe that's what I should tell them. It's not fat... I'm just PREGNANT!!  OK, but fear that pregnancy that lasts 20 years.  Can I get an AMEN?

Awhile back, someone (I don't remember who) posted the perfect reply for those idiots.  Just say: "It's because I just can't stand being morbidly obese any longer.  Frankly, I don't see how YOU do it."
