Charlene: You don't look like you've gained weight, Cathy. Cathy: I haven't yet, Charlene. It's pending. Charlene: Pending? Cathy: Pending fat. It's the worst kind. The calories were all eaten last Friday, but they haven't turned into anything yet...leaving me in that dangerous, delusional state where I look way thinner than I'm about to be. Charlene: What are yo talking about?? Cathy: Fat doesn't show up on me until 72 hours after I've eaten something. If I eat dessert now, the pending fat from Friday will show up tomorrow...and then I'll have a whole new batch from today scheduled to arrive Wednesday afternoon! Things were already tight from the January fat...I have no place to put last week's fat...and if I have to also accommodate new fat from today, I'll go crazy!! Charlene: Check, please! Cathy: I'm not overweight, I'm overbooked.
