Not An Unlikely Conversation Between Two Women!
Jane: I’m really upset!
Judy: Why?
Jane: Can’t you tell?
Judy: No. Is it the new Admin, Kandy Kane?
Jane: No. Although, did you see her legs? They’re so long. Sigh.
Judy: Yeah, how could you not? Anyway, our break’s almost over. What’s going on?
Jane: Are you kidding me? You really can’t tell? Look at me!
Judy: I’m looking. So?
Jane: I’ve gained two pounds!!! I knew I shouldn’t have had that piece of bread, with butter, no less.
Judy: Well, now that you mention it, I can sort of see it, right there, in your middle.
Jane: I knew it!
Judy: Sorry. You must be devastated.
Jane: Beyond words! I’m thinking Lipo.
Judy: Really?
Jane: Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Judy: I’ll go with you. I didn’t want to say anything, but I’m three pounds up from yesterday. Cheesecake Factory.
Jane: Well, now that you mention it, your tummy looks a little, well, you know, bloated?
Judy: I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide it for long. I’m so embarrassed. Let’s make an appointment with Dr. Get Ridophat. He does all the stars. But first, let’s go to the gym. There’s a spin class at 5:30 p.m. Then we can go for a jog afterward. Nothing major, 10 or so miles.
Jane: Great! Let’s keep this between us. No one else has to know, especially the new Admin, with her stupid, long legs.
Judy: Deal!

The Cheesecake Factory sounds lovely. But while enjoying their treat I would have most certainly reminded these ladies of the old adage, "Seconds on the lips, years on the hips!"

You got that right! As great as the Cheesecake Factory is, it's not worth the second on the lips, lifetime on the hips! : )

I've overheard similar conversations between men at the gym bemoaning their "lower abs that won't lean out", and, "rear shoulder muscles that lag in development".
Sanatana
Interesting! I mostly hear women talking like that. But I guess body image does really affect everyone, men and women alike.

Classic! But to anyone who relates, there's a quick way to lose those extra pastry pounds. Start by rearranging the furniture in your house, and if that doesn't take it all off, move on to washing the windows inside and out!
