New Topic Required

seriously.

need to get out of this food/weight-focussed mentality. need to get a life!

I'd best work on that one - the worst thing about trying to cultivate a vaguely interesting blog about your life is that it brings to your immediate attention that you may need a life that's vaguely interesting.

Maybe I'll just start making stuff up. When Mark Twain decided that truth was stranger than fiction he mustnt've been writing a blog - or at least reading this one.

Anyways, the reason for re-visiting this weighty topic (unforgivable pun, yes) a well-meaning-workmate has this horrendous habit of repeating a little belief of his - actually, much to my annoyance he repeats many of his beliefs - people so opinionated and set in their ways disturb me, but that's another rant.

Why he feels the needs to repeatedly enlighten me with the gem of information that 'all these women who want to be size 0s have no idea that men prefer women with a bit of weight on them' I can only guess at. So I do guess. I guess he imagines this is a shocking revelation that will make me happy. So I can only infer that he doesn't mistake me for a size 0 and is ever so subtly trying to convince me that it's okay to carry extra weight. joy.

Note that I have never complained about my weight or the increasing tightness of my jeans to this boy. ever. not my style.

It's like once upon at time in an office years ago, when a co-worker (who I always imagined would be an exact replica of a human-pig hybrid should ever science create one) casually remarked that I was stocky. That I wouldn't want to take up swimming because a stocky build like mine would get muscly. No woman wants to be described as stocky. ever. there's a tip from you to me.

Oh, the joys of working within the IT industry and the ever-so-suave men it attracts!

The thing is, I'm either the most arrogant and delusional woman alive (possible) but I am (usually) fine with my weight. 5 foot 3 and a half... 60kg, aiming for 58... a standard size 10. I don't hate what I see in the mirror - but then I don't see stocky - or someone carrying extra weight (unless I'm silly enough to breathe out and turn sideways!)

Thanks boys.
