Metrosexual colleague who could be cute if he wasn't so aggressively put together:
Hey, so how's the whole losing weight program going?
Me: Uhm...ok. I stopped for a while but....
Metrocolleaguecutebutagrrrolyputtogether: So you know the whole thing is - Math is Math.
Me: Uh?
Metro: PUtting in vs. Puttig out.
Me: Uh?
Metro: Calories in calories out. The whole point is Never tell yourself you deserve that cake, or that pigging out. Math is Math, me. No cosmic energy is going to make you thin if you keep 'deserving' treats.
Me: aaaah....I see....where you a fat kid? i don't take weight loss tips from anybody but fat kids who are now skinny.
Metro (laughs, while putting on his gorgeous Banana Republic coat that I think I might just buy for the boy): I was. I was 207 pounds and then I my dad died of heart disease AND i just reinvented the way I eat. And I have the worst metabolism so I struggle every day. If you have bad metabolism, just be prepared for a life of unfairness where others may lose weight faster than you. But if you want it, you do it.
Me: Uhm...this whole thing makes you feel so much more human.
Metro: Uh?
Me: Yeah, you are less of an agrro cyborg now to me.
The whole conversation was one of those 'slap-in-the-face, growing up' shout out from the world that it doesn't owe a thing. That really, you need to bloody work it to flaunt it.
Frack.

Frack indeed. Sucks.
I know math. I'm relatively good at it as well. But when it comes to losing weight-it never adds up for me :( :( :(
More exercise, less junk. :P
the world is evil, period.
I love the word frack. I say it so much my kids thinks it's the "f-word".
Also, LOVE the olive Banana Republic Pea Coat.
