Holy doodle!
Jesus, Joseph and Mary in Tinseltown. I think I've entered some sort of alternate dimension: I lost 2lbs overnight. Poof. I'm at 131.5lbs, three and a half pounds away from my June Challenge goal. Crikey. This only makes my story all the more relevant...
Christine, a middle-aged co-worker with whom I'm friendly, just finished her "good morning" rounds, and ended up sitting in my cubicle, talking about her latest diet. Considering the circumstances, I'm the last person to give advice, yet she solicited me for my opinion on the G.I. (glycemic index) regime. She asked me about which foods I considered "safe". Har dee har. Try none, lady.
But the crux of the encounter, the moment which prompts me to record this mundane conversation, came when she got up to leave. She said, in all seriousness, "You're so lucky that you don't have to worry about things like this! You're so skinny!"
Oh. My. God. I have never, ever in my entire life been called thin, much less skinny. At least not by someone with a straight face.
I can feel the insane cackling bubbling inside me, welling up inside my empty stomach. I think this calls for a walk during lunch, so I can let it out without sounding like a braying loon. Hee hee hee... :D
