Food CRAZY
I am calling this post this for a few reasons;
1. I am super hungry.
2. I am currently in the midst of the third week of a restricted diet, due to stomach problems.
3. Today there was a pizza party at my office.
4. "I gave up candy for lent."
So today there was this little party to welcome the new members of our staff, which basically translates to people taking extra time for lunch and eating mass quantities of pizza.
I would like to clarify that I think pizza smells and tastes pretty delicious, however being fat is not something I'm interested in.
In addition to that, it makes my stomach hurt for like a whole day, and it's just not worth it.
So back to the party.
If I send out an email telling people that there is food in the kitchen, I don't even actually have to send it I just have to think about it and people just start congregating around my desk drooling, and asking me where the food is...
Well, it's not AT MY DESK.
So today brought up the usual rounds of,
"Oh you aren't having any pizza?!?!"to which I reply, no thanks, or no I don't like it, or no I can't eat it.
The best response today (from the fatest chick in my office)
"That sucks!"Well, not really.
This is the same woman who was just yesterday complaining about how she is so fat, and needs to go on a diet, and in fact just started one.
A PIZZA diet?
I'm not anti-fat (except for myself), really, not at all.
I'm anti-complaining.
And although I do have my fair share of whines, I don't do it to strangers or co-workers.
Because they don't care, and I know this because I don't care about their fat asses either.
There should be an unspoken rule set in the work place; if you are not actively pursuing a weight-loss goal then you are not permitted to complain about the size of your ass.
#4 No not me: This is in reference to the number of women in my office who have actually said this to me today.
One of which, after seeing jellybeans in a bowl on my desk, came over and said,
"Oh I can't eat these, I gave them up for lent."(Internal dialogue: Aren't you supposed to give up something serious for lent?)
"Really, jellybeans, that's specific.""No, candy... I'll just smell them."At which point she picks up the bowl and brings it to her nose, takes a giant whiff and heaves a heavy sigh all over the beans.
"Oh those smell so good."(Internal dialogue: Yeah well you ought to at least have the courtesy to throw them out now that you have contaminated them... ugh.)
Smile.Then she wandered off, thankfully.
