I went out to lunch and a movie wiht my friend yesterday. She’s a delightful lady. I love her dearly. I’m glad we’re friends.
Now I must warn you, I”m about to go on a rant. I tried holding it back, but I just can’t. Pam’s driving me nuts.
Why? Because she’s on a diet.
Do you know what that means?
It means that everyone in a 20 mile radius has to hear about her diet in every single %&$&^( conversation. I do mean EVERY.
Smelling something she really wants to eat that she shouldn’t eat on her DIET…
How those nasty chemical laiden “low points” snacks are really pretty good for her DIET…
DIET versions of things she wants to eat that taste good on her DIET…
What she wants to eat VS what she SHOULD eat on her DIET…
What she shouldn’t have eaten yesterday because of her DIET…
What she better not eat tomorrow becaue of her DIET…
How much she exercised – or didn’t for her DIET…
Where she wishes she could eat lunch but shouldn’ because of her DIETt…
How salad really REALLY sounds better than fries and a burger (yeah right…I’ll believe that one when pigs fly)…
How much she’ll have to exercise to work off whatever she ate…
Going off her DIET…
fighting to stay on her DIET…
How weight watcher’s isn’t really a DIET…
CALORIES…CALORIES…CALORIES…
Oh for God’s sake, shut up and eat the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or don’t – but SHUT UP about your %&$(* DIET!
Can you have one single conversation wihtout using the words “calories,” “diet” or “weight watchers”?
The rest of us around you are sick to death of hearing about it!
With all the negativity, guilt and struggle you’re doing – all the DRAMA you’re doing, you’re creating a biochemical mailstrum inside you.
How about eating with appreciation and joy?
How about following something that won’t turn you inside out?
How about keeping your diet to yourself?
OK, rant over.
