Fatti-licious

Fatty Zee sat on a chair
Fatty Zee in deep despair
The Chair sunk down
It dug the ground
Fatty Zee got a dirty glare

The above is not a story. It's true. Today I was sitting outside at CCD and during the course of the half an hour there I could feel myself sinking lower and lower into the ground. First I blamed it my bad posture. Then I thought it was a broken chair. Then I realised my weight had pushed the chair so deep into the earth that there was a hole enough for a family of snakes to seep out at the same time!!! The idea of seeing snakes appear was not a pleasant one so I came back home.

Then my mom turned up with a picture of some "eligible muslim boy". She just doesn't give up!. And since I don't either, I turned him down saying he's fat. She gave me the look to say you aren't a toothpick either you know. Then returned 10 mins wearing her glasses and said "If I put on my specs, he doesn't look fat anymore". You have to give it to her. She doesn't give up without a fight!

Thankfully the niece is over and she's been distracting my mom so I didn't hear of it again. The niece goes
"Nani, I'm getting a dog. A Daschund"
"Really? What will you name him?"
"He already has a name. Daschund"

Anyway, the exercise cycle will be used tomorrow. It was taken out last week and after getting an asthma attack thanks to the dust that had settled on it, I did put it to use for fifteen mins. Unfortunately, I felt nothing in those 15 mins. I think I cycled at the speed of 10, read the paper, hummed a song and got a few droplets of sweat at the nape of my neck. The net take out was to place the cycle right under the fan the next time....which of course hasn't happened since.

My anthem on weekends has been to go on a diet starting Monday and since today is the weekend I vow so again. Bring on the boiled veggies I say

This cracked me up. :D I am still grinning end-to-end and if my friends see it, they're going to run to figure out what's on my screen. Did you tell her you don't want to wear glasses for next many years just to feel happy about the whole affair? :)

Nice post. We all have (diet) plans that are made and destroyed (by our own weight).

Behind Blue Eyes said...

Do you know what helps me diet? I read about all of the things eating a bad diet does to your body. Then if I eat these things I feel sorta disgusted. At least, I think it's helped me, or else it's just made me feel constantly guilty, I'm not sure which yet.

nutty said...

HAHAHAHAHA!!

How?! Just how do you come up with posts like these?!!!

@Sinking chair - you're an MBA!! Don't you see how this could adversely affect the sales of CCD? You should have gone up to the counter n demanded to speak to the management and told them if they keep having chairs which sink people are going to stop ordering their caramel frappacinos (or whatever other poison they sell) n they should pave their outside seating area! and then you should have demanded that they PAY YOU for the consultation! See?!

@muslim boy - Do what a lot of my other friends are doing... agree too meet him.. go on a free date and scare him away ... or at worst say you don't think it'll work ;) Keeps the moms silent n u get an evening out n material for your next post :D

@exercycle - forget it! been there done that... you're never going to be regular at it... I'm tellin you .. its a bane we're born with .. laziness you cannot let go!

Loved your post! Go Gurl!

cm chap said...

Nabeel said...

lol, fun poem .. fatty zee :)

As the chair sunk down,
Fatty Zee, realized and frowned,
His weight is just one too many pounds.

Anonymous said...

forget the veggies...have muesli...thats what good muslim girls are supposed to eat!!

Zee said...

adarsh...lage hue hain...abhi tak koi pearls of wisdom nahin hain

jollyroger....have realised that now that i've started....

scribbler....my logic is this...when i was younger i thought i was fat...then i grew older and look back and think i wasn't so fat after all....now i just believe 20 yrs from now, this will be thin for me!!!

rebel....i dont like the sound of pista rolls...but i'm craving for them nonethless

cm-chap....i hate u types!!! hmph!

nabeel..."her" weight....thanks for completing the poem anyway...very apt!!

anonymous...no muesli..no pasta allowed...fusili...muesili...hahahahah!

APOO said...

LOL!

I like your niece.
Kids are the best stress busters.

I have a friend who bought an exercise bike, never used it to work out, used it to dry his clothes on, and eventually ended up selling it and treating himself to a month of Big Macs.

The bike has many uses.

u r goin on the right track, even i lost just abt 5 lbs in the first five days.

wat the plan does is - it cleans up ur system in the first three days , and then it prepares u to loose ur weight. so its not tht u loose ur weight in equal proportions each day. the max weigh loss i think happens at the end.

so yayyyy , keep goin, just control urself i knw its a bit tough to stop cravings for things, but aat the end, u feel its all worth.

aRbit said...

"If I'm fat, there's just more of me to love" used to be my slogan, till this happened to me - now I'm looking for the easiest ways to get those extra inches off.

Princess Banter said...

Sigh, I am perennially on a diet... and I never get to finish it as I always cheat :P For some reason, ice cream looks and tastes so much better when you're not supposed to be anywhere near it. Screw diets and enjoy the glory of food :) You're beautiful... and remember that!
