My pet peeve, though, are the people who, dripping with
self-righteousness,
have to comment on the shopping cart contents of anyone who's a little
fatter than skeletal. "You don't really *need* that, do you dear?"
they'll
say, pointing to any high-calorie item. Seriously, there ARE people who
are that rude!

I am not slim. I am overweight. I am fat. The other week was the cycling
club
annual dinner & award ceremony, which I had to be at as I'm racing
secretary
and had organised the trophies, engravings, medals and the production of
the
programme for the event (my printer had been working overtime, as had I).

Whilst at the dinner, in the middle of the main course, a person told me
about
how, if I wanted to stay slim & healthy like him, I should not eat a meal
such
as the one on the plate... the fact is, he had exactly the same on his
plate as
me, which he was eating... a couple of other people, during the evening,
made
comment about how if I want to be healthy, I should be eating A, not
eating B,
doing C, not doing D. Did I ask these people for their advice? No, they
simply
felt it was perfectly acceptable to tell me how so much better they are
than me
with the "If you want to be slim like me..." I resisted the retort of
"There
*is* one thing fatter than my arse in this room, and it's your mouth.",
but god
knows how. Is my eating anything eating causing them to get cancer due to
"passive eating"??? No. I may not be slim, and I can cycle 100 miles on a
bike,
but hey, aren't we fat people supposed to be lazy, good-for-nothing couch
potatoes who do nothing but lie on a sofa all day feeding our faces with
chocolates as we have no sense of self-control or self-worth?? How dare we
inflict ourselves on the outside world!!

Now, the trick would be to load them up with lead so they weigh as much as
you, and see if they can still do the physical excercise that you do. Betcha
they couldn't.

I can haul my 120kg frame down to the train station (about a mile away) in
under 20 minutes and not be out of breath. Like to see a "slim" person do
the same thing.
