OK…this made me giggle….I was making some “nutritious” food for myself on game day – Weight Watcher’s Smart Ones Mini Pepperoni Pizzas while I watch football and pack for my Christmas trip to Tahoe. 1 serving is 280 calories and satisfies my junk food craving.
I’m not big. I’m actually pretty little. But guess what? It takes work to stay little. Quite frankly, I have run into bitterness from heavy people who think that thin people just eat whatever the hell they want. This was generally true was I was a teen or in my 20s. But no – I don’t eat what I want. Considering I always want TONS of carbs – I cannot. Pasta, rice, potatoes, bread – you name it – YUM! Wish I could eat them all day. I’m not a big sweets person. I like chocolate stuff and cheesecake but would take an order of salty french fries over a dessert any day of the week.
So when I read celebs or models who say “Oh, I eat whatever I want. I’m just lucky to be a naturally thin size 00.” I want to punch them in the face. You might eat whatever you want, but then you throw it up. Or all that coke and/or Adderall you do might help. Be honest. Meh. Are there people who are thin – yes. But sorry – they do not all reside in Hollywood. They work at it. Whether by unhealthy means or healthy ones. They all do something.
I do watch what I eat. Pretty much all of the time. And exercise every day. Every day. And have for a very long time. But I also don’t take any diet drugs, narcotics, pharmaceuticals, throw up, eat cotton (a nice ballerina and model trick) or any other weird solution. Caloric intake less than calories burned. The way it has to be. My blood pressure and heart rate is low (so low I had a nurse ask me if I was sure I was alive…I told him that was his job to determine) so I am not too worried about my health. And I do pretty much agree (kinda twisted I guess) with Kate Moss: “There is nothing that tastes as good as being thin feels.” But do disagree with the Duchess on the 2nd half of her statement (There is no such thing as too rich.) “No woman can be too rich or too thin.”
Anyways – back to the pizzas…directions to make me giggle…actually laughed out loud:
1. Preheat oven.
2. REMOVE 1 tray (4 pizza minis) from carton. Return second tray to freezer.
Ok…when I read this I had to wonder how badly they wanted to say:
2. REMOVE 1 tray (4 pizza minis) from carton. Return second tray to freezer fattie. Do it now. And step away from the freezer.
Right? That’s what the box said to me anyway. So I put the 2nd tray in the freezer. Oh well…no pain, no gain! And I know there will be plenty of bad eating over Christmas…
