Unfortunately Pier One recently dropped her for one of the Queer Eye guys.

She is still very pretty. She'll always have great eyes and hair. :)
I'm glad I am not fodder for gossip or the cameras. Yikes.

Loser and Quitter

TA: Hi, I'm Thirstie Alley and I'm new to the newsgroups in general and
this newsgroup in particular. I hear there's a wealth of support and
information available from the participants in this newsgroup. My story is
that I struggle to maintain a "normal" weight. I can do it by constantly
dieting, but I'm unhappy doing so. I tend to overeat when hubby is away.
I'm more happy when I can eat the things I enjoy. But when I do that, I
seem to gain weight. I'm hoping by developing some new eating habits, I can
be satiated and keep a reasonably healthy figure at the same time.

JC: If I'm projecting Jesus Christ, what does T&A project?

QCJ: Why would you want to make yourself fat over a man? He'll probably end
up running off with some skinny chick.

TA: I'm not worried about that. We love each other a lot and hate to be
apart.

JC: Excuses, excuses. WFFID.

Preesi: He really wants me. You're just jealous of me.

DT: Oh for the love of God, give it a break already.

TA: What's WFFID? Some kind of new CB Radio call letters?

Luna: Winy Fat f.ck in Denial. It refers to the inner Fat f.ck in most
overweight people that has bad habits that maintains the Fat f.ck.

TA: Excuse me?

Jenny: There's lots of information at my web site about your type of
eating. Many people suffer from comfort eating.

TA: Thanks. It will take me awhile to read through your web site, but it
looks like great information. I couldn't understand some of it.

Carmen: Google for your answer.

TA: What?

JC: Idiot.

TA: Excuse me? Do I know you? I doubt it. I doubt I want to.

Smith: Oh, he's not so bad, once you get to know him.

TA: I've been reading over the various LC books. I'd miss a lot of the
foods that are high in carbohydrates. What do you all do about that?

JC: We get fat. Just like you. Idiot.

TA: Well, this place seems a little less supportive then I expected.

QCJ: Oh your delicate sensibilities can't take someone giving you the
unvarnished truth?

JC: Just keep stuffing your fat face until your lovestick runs off with a
decent woman. You're too weak to lose weight and keep it off.

Luna: It only took me 5 minutes to learn how to kill file someone.

JC: Yes, but she's an idiot.

TA: Well, it's been nice meeting everyone. Thanks again Jenny. I think I'll
just go get some Phen/Fen.

JC: Idiot.
