Ew. Seriously? So Gross....

I love this commercial! I want those three young Skinny Betches to follow me around too! We could be besties!!!

I read an article not too long ago that said that Skinny Betches don't have Fat Chick friends. Something about being around such lax attitudes about what, when, and how they eat will eventually result in them being fat. I don't have any statistics about that, but I know that I don't really have many Skinny Betch friends. Mostly because they annoy me.

What's more annoying that having a grown person who could use one leg of your pants as a baggie mini-dress, look you dead in the eyes and say, "I'm so freaking fat!" Seriously?

The thing is, it's not just annoying. It's a knife to the heart. If Miss Thang here thinks SHE'S fat, what does she think I am? I don't even want to know the answer to that, frankly.

Also, the fat really only flows one way. The influence of the Fat Chicks might rub off on the Skinny Betch, but rarely if ever is the Fat Chick influenced by the Skinny Betches. A group of Fat Chicks will literally bully a Skinny Betch into eating every bite of a banana split, but a group of Skinny Betches don't have it in them to do the opposite for/to a Fat Chick:

"I'll have a Chef Salad with turkey instead of ham, no cheese, and baby spinach instead of lettuce."

"I'll have the baked salmon with a baked potato. And bring me a to-go box because I already know I'm only going to eat half."

"I'd just like a side salad, with a slice of lemon on the side, please."

The Skinny Betches all look at the Fat Chick expectantly. She looks back with confusion, then scorn on her face. "Screw y'all, I'm having a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings.... What? I didn't eat breakfast...."

"Ew."

"Seriously?"

"That is so gross."

"And I'd also like a chocolate shake with double whipped cream."

Do you know what that means, fellow Fat Chicks? We are above the influence! We could rule the world! If we could get up off our asses! Seriously!

So, since the beginning of the Skinny Betch diet three weeks ago, I've lost 7 pounds! Yay me! I've noticed that my pants are a bit baggier and I have a skosh more energy. I'm the grateful recipient of a new (to me) elliptical machine, so I'm going to try to start using that real soon. I'd have started using it already, but it's not where I want it to be yet, and I'm OCD about stupid stuff like that.

The point is, I'm stepping in the right direction. Baby steps, maybe, but I'm OK with that.
