the crazy things people do

Today when I was at work I had to keep myself from calling my coworker an idiot. She told me she was a diet and watching her carbs so she ate a whole tub of cool whip with a packet of peanuts mixed in. Thats like at least 800 cals. If only she knew how bad that is for her espcially since cool whip is all hydrogonated oils. Anyone have someone they know do something stupid like this?

Well, good luck, betty.  I hope she is indeed able to follow your good example.

I hope so.  The funny/ tragic aspects are that she is still very overweight.  I have caught her eating 4 chocolate bars one time and that same day she told me that fiber makes you thin, meat makes you fat, and she is eating over 35 grams of fiber per day (supplements and chocolate bars).  What a terrible diet! 

Seen at a McDonald's in Northern Europe; my friend was working there one summer and served these two severely obese ladies.

obese lady 1: Could I have a -enter name of meal here- with a diet coke, please?

obese lady 2: Wait, a diet coke?

My friend behind the counter assumed the friend was as amused at the thought of trying to cut back on calories whilst gorging on fast food, but..

obese lady 1: Yeah, the diet kind has far less calories.

obese lady 2: But the artificial sweetener will give you cellulite!

Ahm.. that train already left the station, mam.
