Introspection Is For Fatties
- College Roommate: She's gained 15 pounds since they started dating.
- Me: Of course - you gain weight when you're happy! I got up to 142 when I dated Alex. I'm 122 now.
- College Roommate: Wow. You were twenty pounds heavier!?!
- Me: Yeah. That's the price you pay for joy.
- Fascinating that you and your BFF spend your time discussing about other women's weight. You would almost think that someone who professes to have suffered from bullimia wouldn't be so quick to judge another woman's weight gain, but then again, she isn't you. She hasn't suffered or endured the way you have. You have a legitimate reason for weight loss - you were publicly revealed to have no sense of decorum when it came to the personal matters of someone who dated for attention.
- You might find it surprising that some people don't gain weight when they are happy, as introspection is usually calorie-free. Nevertheless, playing victim and claiming weight-loss as a result looks good on you, and certainly avoids that whole uncomfortable business about you revealing private confidences about someone you loved to garner public sympathy. And seriously, who needs that kind of self-awareness when you can post pictures of yourself looking thin? No one, I say. No one at all.
