a rare utterance

My Brazillian Jiu Jitsu "dojo" actually consists of a bunch of mats set up on the floor of the basketball court of a local gym. As we exit, we pass the gym's scales, and it isn't uncommon for people from my class to weigh themselves on the way in or the way out to make sure they are on target for their weight category for upcoming competitions. Today one of our female wrestlers (who is very athletic and stands about 5'8" while probably weighing only a little less than I do) was weighing herself when she said to her boyfriend, without irony, "I'm losing too much weight." That's not something you often hear a woman say.
