My boss and my cube neighbor are both doing Weight Watchers. They were trying to figure out the points for a bagel that my cube neighbor had had, and it just so happens that it was a rosemary & olive oil bagel which was my absolute favorite back before I knew the glycemic load of bagels.
"Oh!" I said. "Those are the best! ... Not that I'm allowed to eat them anymore, but still... they're the best." (I used to buy a dozen bagels a week from the shop in question. And I haven't had one since August 1st.)
Cube neighbor: "I know, aren't they? And what diet are you doing, you look great! And don't you ever have cheat days?"
I had to take a call then, and after the call, I was much more chatty than normal and shared how sometimes I dream about eating bagels (and other starch-heavy things).
Cube neighbor: "Oh, I totally understand that."
"And I even had a dream about a cupcake last week. It was very moving."
Cube neighbor and boss: "Ahahahahahahahaha! That is the quote of the day!"
"I can't help it. I haven't had cake in forever..." T_T
Cube neighbor: "We're only laughing because we share your pain."
