I realised just before I decided to post this that those of you who don’t know me are going to think I’m constantly grumpy or something. And those of you who do know me will get some confirmation that I am. :)
Ok, here’s what grinds my gears today. My wife Crarie and I joined Weight Watchers to drop some weight. So far, she’s lost more than 10% of her body weight, and I’m almost there (I started mid-June at 327.9 lb, I’m now at 301.2). What really bothers me is when you’re making plans with people and they say something like “It’s ok, just forget your plan tonight, it’s only one day.” Uh, hello? I’m doing my best to fight temptation here, I don’t need you trying to talk me into eating something I really shouldn’t. You wouldn’t say to a diabetic “just have this donut, it’s only a little one” or invite a vegetarian to “eat the hot dog, just this once.” Why is it that people think it’s ok to encourage someone who’s struggling with their weight to break their diet?
Ok, end of bitching for today.
