I am officially "fluffy".....if you look it up in my dictionary you will see it means i-have-been-eating-too-much-for-the-holidays-the-devil-made-me-do-it-and-i -need-a euphemism-RIGHT-NOW!!..I am hoping to convince myself that this is a cyclic thing which occurs mostly in the winter and therefore is proof positive that we have some bear genes in our DNA... isn't it the prudent thing to do to stock up on as much insulation as possible during these cold winter months?? I mean, if it is true we evolved from the monkey who am i to question a bear?
The only problem is that right now I'm feeling that if i have to get up from a chair to go from one part of the house to the other i need to call the Santini Brothers moving company.....as a matter of fact the way this holiday is going i may have to put them on retainer......but i am not without a conscience....so the pasta, chocolate, bread and (here just insert the inventory from your local grocery store) must always be followed by something dietetic or healthy....this actually doesnt feed my body in the way i would want to but it feeds or should i say pacifies my conscience...,,,and incidentally i am pondering the answer to this question.....how much does a conscience ACTUALLY weigh...?? if it comes in under a few pounds then i am totally guilt free..and have a little wiggle room....so pass the pasta
Interestingly enough, until a generation ago, in italy, it was a compliment to call a woman "bella grassa," nice and plump. It was a sign that one lived well. I have tried to use this term here only to be faced with silence and "if looks could kill" types of stares. My cultural defense and my feigning an "off the boat" ignorance never get me out of the hot water into which I voluntarily place myself in. I just love to do this. As for you, there's more to love. Adipose cells have a right to life also.
ReplyDeleteIn my case I'm almost neurotic about my weight. I get very upset if I lose any. I believe it to presage some dreadful disease. So I have turned a neurosis into a "mamgia mangia" state of bliss.
