You Shall Not Lie (About Your Weight)

My Featured Blogger this week is “Ladybug” of The Happy Quitter. Like a modern day Erma Bombeck (despite the fact that she’s European-born and English is her second language), Ladybug perfectly captures the little LOL-inducing absurdies of everyday life. But don’t take my word for it — reading is believing!

The happy Quitter!

“What’s your weight now?” the nurse on the phone wanted to know, and I sighed. I was wondering what I had told them way back then when I still wanted to lose weight. I started chuckling a bit. It was early in the morning, way too early for any kind of lie -not even a very white one.

    Weight can be quite sensitive, it doesn’t correlate with how friendly or interesting a person is though

    I don’t lie to docs/dentists and they clearly don’t know how to handle that.

    But I DO point out how all their scales are “100lbs off”… always showing me as fat a** i stead of a healthy weight!
