2 Fat Ladies
This is something that happens to me often, but I saw an extreme example of it the other day…
I was standing in the line at the supermarket checkout, in my own world as usual, when I happened to notice that the two women in front of me were rather large! Tony Robbins likes to say ‘success leaves clues’, and wondering if the opposite was also true, I checked out the stuff on the belt in front of me. Amongst many other things were:
- 6 loaves of white bread
- Chocolate puddings
- An assortment of biscuits
- 4 pizzas (2 for 1!)
- 6 bottles of wine
- Some sort of treacle coated cakes
- And the coup de gras… over 10 bags of assorted sweets!
Oh, they were also buying some clothes, which I managed to see the size on the hanger of…size 22! To me, it doesn’t seem to take a genius on the level of Sherlock Holmes to work out how this has happened – in fact, it’s a very simple formula (women + crap food = size 22 clothes)! I also noticed there were a few things in my basket that were entirely absent in theirs, namely:
- Any unprocessed vegetables
- Any unprocessed fruit
- Any unprocessed meat
I see this worryingly regularly at the supermarket. I am not sure even I am dumb enough to accept the explanation that these people do not know that what they are buying is unhealthy, so what is the explanation?
I am not sure I know the answer to that, but I do have a tip for anyone reading this – next time you are at the supermarket checkout, have a think…is the stuff in your trolley more like what would be in a fit, healthy person’s trolley or more like the fat women’s trolley? The closer you get to a fit person’s trolley, the more chance you will have of being a fit person!
