I wish I'd found this earlier. Anyway, that woman's thought process reminded me of my mother so much. She came home from the hospital once, very happy that she was finally below 200 lbs for the first time since high school. She was dying. Her kidneys had quit. She was blind. She was numb to the elbows and numb to the knees. (all diabetic complications) But nothing mattered so much as the fact that she was BELOW 200 LBS!! <br />She died 2 weeks later, and that's when I decided to give up dieting for the rest of my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-63690975936318259182008-04-27T21:29:00.000-04:002008-04-27T21:29:00.000-04:00OMFG...

Someone needs to run the woman's leg over with a car. That way she will be off work for the broken leg at least. Okay that's a bit harsh but for pete's sake. And on top of that.. to think that anything even like that is a good way to lose weight. Get a club by four people.<BR/><BR/>Picturing Jo at her desk in Zim hazmat suit.. yeah that's.. great...Breannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107266990473881257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-33024459158157944372008-04-27T09:23:00.000-04:002008-04-27T09:23:00.000-04:00If you do get gastroenteritis from that woman, lod...If you do get gastroenteritis from that woman, lodge a complaint against her to your employer.<BR/><BR/>I've had gastroenteritis before, and I forced myself into a quarantine for a few days... And frankly, losing any (water) weight over throwing up and/or diarrhea is not even something I'd think of. I remember the weakness I felt, the fact that I couldn't even hold down liquids, and it's definitely something I wouldn't wish on anyone.<BR/><BR/>*headdesk* indeed.Lady Jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843550886625957068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-55068327917330429042008-04-26T11:31:00.000-04:002008-04-26T11:31:00.000-04:00Someone needs to slap that careless lady in the fa...Someone needs to slap that careless lady in the face with a bucket of Lysol and get her a cheeseburger...STAT!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-72134355576397044772008-04-26T09:59:00.000-04:002008-04-26T09:59:00.000-04:00Having spent the last 8 or so years working in cal...Having spent the last 8 or so years working in call centers, i am very sensitive to the "keep your sick ass away from the workplace" thing.

Both to walking around the office with an infectious disease (how inconsiderate!) and the idea that being sick like this is worth the 8 pounds she has lost. What has she been doing? Climbing on the scale each time she's had to dash to the bathroom?

They didn't know she had leukemia. They thought she had breast cancer "because she had no boobs". (AAARGGGGH!!!) <BR/>I said "no, she has always been that small and that skinny". Apparently they put everything I said on mute and only heard when I said "skinny", and somehow related it to a consecuence to leukemia, so they said this: "Leukemia: the way to go!" as in "leukemia: the best diet!". (DOUBLE AAARGGGHHH!!!)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wonder why they're still my friends.Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253339797853428930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-62508808413115032342008-04-25T21:05:00.000-04:002008-04-25T21:05:00.000-04:00I don't know why I left an extra letter at the end...I don't know why I left an extra letter at the end there.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559850219424554239.post-79161176166063684502008-04-25T21:04:00.000-04:002008-04-25T21:04:00.000-04:00I'm sending along some (virtual) Lysol.
