160 GRAMS of weight? What kind of a trip home was that? Change the unit of measure to pounds or something substantial, then we will talk.

A productive one. You have any idea how much I had to eat to put on even that much?

I hate you. These days I only have to look at food for it to think I'm giving it permanent shelter.

??! said...

And I envy you. I sometimes feel like a bottomless abyss, what with all the food having no impact at all. And then having to listen to tut-tutting relative and friends. And then deal with disappointed doctors. As if I frikkin' ordered this metabolism!

well, you ordered it, you eat it.

(160 grams of weight is what i put on if i skip lunch.)

I repeat - gah, go away. 160 GRAMS. GRAMS!!!

Oi! It's not my fault I have a hyperactive metabolism.

It's not all fun you know. Especially during winter. All of you, be happy for any padding you may possess.

TR:
Do you really want to know how much weight I lose if I skip breakfast three days in a row?

@??! yeah, you should.

Actually, you should do the opposite of diet blogging. Write in great detail about the deliciously calorie-laden food you ate. Be sure to mention how you went out of your way not to do any physical activity and how tiny and feather-like you remain.

It is what I would do in your place.

What was that first"you should" about?

Listen, people are as it is pissed off because I'm doing the whole "oh I'm so mysterious" schlep. If I throw in the "Oh I ate a 3-egg mushroom and cheese omelette, two waffles with honey, and a mug of hot chocolate for breakfast and I'm still only 56 kilos" bit as well, somebody's going to find a hack to trace my IP down, then come round and beat me up.

Demmit! I knew I shouldn't have said that.

Also - shoes, and clothes, and kachoris, and kaju katri, hindi pickchur DVDs (only 39 rupees - wah!), a cycle gear chain.

i said watyoubotfome? fo ME!!

Ahh, like that-a? Well, I did get some Indian Fruit-n-Nut Dairy Milk (Indian Cadbury is the bestest), but since you're about 3000 miles away, I ate it up. But the thought counts no?

Pri said...

fruitandnut i can get at my local indian store. sometimes i can even find one that was manufactured after 1983. but yeah thanks for thinking about giving me the chocolate and then deciding to eat it anyway.
