While I think that some people truly do have a medical issue where they have trouble with weight (like thyroid issues), others will use any excuse like Cathy and her friend. It looks like her friend is drinking a Starbucks coffee, and some of those drinks have so much sugar and fat, they are worse than a reasonable dessert.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Thursday! I hope you all have a great day!
I have a good reason for being a little heavier than I should be – I sit at a desk too many hours of the day, I am lazy so don’t exercise enough, and I like to eat – especially chocolate. Oops, that means it is my fault. I have to find some other excuses where I am not to blame. Still, I have managed to lose a few pounds and not gain them back by eating less for supper.
A really warm day here today – sitting at 7C (45F) and the snow is turning to slush. Freezing rain predicted for tonight. Think I will just stay home and wish everyone else in the clan a good day.
I think I should clarify what I said earlier. I have no problem with anyone who wants to have or do what makes them happy, in moderation. I certainly enjoy a glass of wine, some dark chocolate, some sweets, warm bread, etc, and I don’t feel bad about it. I 100% support people enjoying life responsibly. I’ll also agree with the fact that stress makes me eat more sometimes (it makes me eat less other times), so maybe that’s what they mean in the second panel. And I certainly don’t have a perfect body or optimal health, but I try to balance taking care of my health with enjoying life. I think it’s possible to do both.
i guess what I was trying to say earlier is that I have a problem with what these two are doing in this comic, spending more time finding excuses than trying to take care of themselves. (Oh, and I also don’t like the idea of a “diet”)
I’m having a little trouble getting down to go weigh in because I haven’t been able to walk outside with the horrendous weather. Last week it was 12 below zero, today it went up to 55 and I got my first outdoor walk of the new year. Very happy…maybe lose a few ounces tonight….maybe…..

Well, at least they’re getting along. For now, anyway.
