Default You two skinny people

My girl friend and I went out to eat this morning. We asked for the low-carb menu and the waitress said "You two skinny people don't need it." We laughed and the GF said "That's what keeps us thin." We then had a pleasant chat with the waitress about why Atkins is just not about losing weight. It's nice to be called skinny.

I know what you mean. When I buy my Atkins pancakes, which I love, I always get comments about not needing that.

I just say they didn't see me before.

Congrats! Feels awesome huh. I went to GNC and I was looking at the Atkins and other low carb stuff and she was like you don't need to lose any weight. I cheesed and said it's not only for people who need to lose weight.

I get this when I pick up an Atkins friendly breakfast of bacon & eggs at the cafeteria..."Oh, I guess you can eat that way..."

I reply that this is how I got this way!

I guess I can see how you could enjoy a comment like that, but honestly those comments are only going to become more frequent.

Soon you'll be sick general american fat asses telling you you need to eat!!!!!

Ok that was mean, but really, that's like you telling them they need to stop eating. Gets annoying in my opinion but if it floats your boat then more power to you! :^D
