Hello you lovely flab fighters. I have a little story for you, of which I will have many, due to the fact that there are literally so many obese fucks out there :)!
I caught this particular ham bitching about me and my size recently, so I guess it makes me feel better to put her on here.
I work with this mayonnaise magnet, we shall call Mayogirl. She's in her mid twenties but gets mistaken for mid thirties all the time. She puts zero effort into her appearance, like she doesn't shower and is easily 250+lbs. She tries to make herself look smaller by constantly breathing in, which makes zero difference when your gut is protruding from the rest of your body by a metre. She also always wears black because its 'slimming'! And those skinny waist belts, designed to look chic, if you are slim and know how to dress yourself.
We were talking about plans for Christmas, who normally hosts and what they cook etc. Conversation went a little like this...
Mayogirl: So who normally hosts the Christmas meal in your family? I never host as it's too much work!
(she also still lives at home, with her 5 cats and enabling parents so she couldn't possibly host, but she doesn't know that I know that)
Me: I normally host, for around 15 family members and myself, it's not too much work if you plan ahead...
Mayogirl: I just can't be bothered with it all. Why make all that food if you won't even get to eat it all.
Me: Well I do sit down to eat with them, too...I don't sit in the corner and starve.
Mayogirl: Yeah but I bet you still count your calories, you don't eat enough! What's your favourite part of the Christmas meal?? Mine has to be Yorkshire puddings with bacon and honey!!
At this point she is practically salivating.
Me: Yorkshire puddings with bacon and honey? I've never had that...
Mayogirl: Yeah, you cook it all together, like the Yorkshire pudding is a pot and the bacon and honey go inside it. So yummy. I have to stop myself from eating the whole lot (teehee)
Me: Ah, well I like roasted parsnips and peas. I don't think the holidays are a reason to blindly gorge.
Mayogirl: Omg!! You actually like vegetables?? I knew there was something wrong with you, lol!!
Me: They are hands down the best part of the meal. I don't eat meat and I always look closely at what I am putting in my body, as everyone should.
Conversation ended there. Where she realised she made herself look like a total butterhuffer.
Am I the only one who can control myself around food at christmas, as I do every other day of the year?

Roasted Brussels sprouts are actually pretty good. I always hated them, too, until I tried them that way.
And I agree Mayogirl probably couldn't make Yorkies if she tried, which is ridiculous because they're one of the easiest things in the world to make. I've never had them with bacon or honey, but I have filled them with leftover beef barley soup (just the meat, veg, and barley, obviously, not the liquidy part) when money was tight and I needed to make the soup last.
I'm not a big fan of vegetarianism/veganism in general, either, but I'm kind of surprised to see you getting so sharp about it. I didn't take @Thinneriswinner's post as telling us all what to eat. And I think you're probably getting downvoats because of the tone rather than your opinion. I mean, it doesn't matter, really, I don't suddenly think you're a big jerk or anything (and I doubt my opinion matters so much to you either way, of course), I'm just surprised to see you kind of coming out swinging like that, is all (are you okay?). But hey, if you just really hate vegetarianism/veganism, that's okay, too.
