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 you 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 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.
WW used to let folks know that the fat doesn’t show up on the scale for about 3 days after you indulge. Cathy isn’t nearly as fat as most of what I see at the local mall these days – in fact she looks downright puny in comparison.
