ACCOUNTANT BY DAY

Yesterday at the end of my Weight Watchers meeting, my meeting leader passed out small Easter eggs with random little happy weight loss related messages inside them. Mine said, “The world gets brighter as we get lighter.” I really love Weight Watchers and my leader and I think it was a nice and thoughtful idea. And it’s not like I feel cynical about the program. It has changed my life for the better.

Everybody at the meeting seemed to be very touched by their messages. So there must be something wrong with me because my brain’s automatic response to mine is, “Because our fat bodies are no longer blotting out the sun!”

It’s like how even though I cried a lot at my uncle’s funeral, I also wanted to laugh because they buried him in a Harley Davidson doo-rag. Many people just don’t relate.
