It's been said I have "an appetite".

Yes, if you can call putting away 9"x13" pans of stuffing and mac and cheese plus veggies and bread in one sitting, you might conclude I have an appetite. 😉

“The holidays treated you well!

Or

“Wow your lunch looks GOOD!” Emphasis on good meaning it’s huge.


I've never heard that one before. As someone who throws down in the kitchen, I'm used to hearing people say that meaning they wish they had my lunch.

I had this happen just last night. It's never happened to me before. I guess I'm getting pretty fat.

They do. And it's bizarre, because usually, you're just minding your business. When someone brings it up. They will ask if you have tried fasting. No boo. I'm 500 lb. Does it look like I miss a meal?

Not to discount how you feel when people say these things, but as someone who has been fit and "skinny" their whole life, people are always excited to say whatever weirdo fad diet/exercise they're doing to anyone polite enough to listen. Like I am so, so, so tired of hearing people talk about keto and "intermittent fasting" oh my god.


Ugh, yes. Did I ask about your diet? No? Then why do you think I want to hear about it as I fill my plate with appetizers?
