 | As a self-confessed eavesdropper, I'm always fascinated when I listen in on conversations about weight loss. Here's one I overhead between two women on this very subject:
Woman 1: I swear I gained 10 pounds overnight.
Woman 2: Oh please, I would kill for your thighs. Seriously. I would really murder someone. And have you noticed how much weight I've gained lately? I should be arrested.
Woman 1: No! How can you even say you're overweight? You are so perfect, I just want to strangle you!
...And the conversation went on in the same vein for quite a while. The funny thing is overhearing men talking about the same thing. Here's a conversation I overheard at one of my husband's handball matches:
Man 1: (Grabbing a handful of fat around his belly)"Dude, I'm getting fat."
Man 2: (Studying the general size and shape of the fat) "You sure are. Are you trying to win the contest for gaining the most weight in one year?"
Man 1: (Shrugging) "Maybe. Let's go get a beer." The key in preventing this topic from ever coming up (as entertaining as it is for me to listen in on) is to avoid gaining weight in the first place and, when you think about it, preventing weight gain is easier than losing it - Something you might consider if you're having a hard time losing weight. | |
