Now I have something I want to rant about. What is it about women and food? We have a cake in our office left over from a celebration last week. One of my coworkers comes in and says, Oh! I want some cake. I don't need it, though.

And I said, well, if you don't need it, then don't eat it.

And she said, oh, but if I tell myself that, I won't get as big a piece.

And I said, if you really want some, just have a little bit. If you really think you don't need it, don't have any. (And SHUT UP! I thought to myself.)

This happens all the time. People will bring in treats of various shapes and sizes, and some of the women will fuss and fuss about "who brought those in? they shouldn't have done that! winkwinknudgenudge" and "Oh, I don't need those extra calories," and on and on and on, ad nauseam.

We got a little jelly-bean dispenser free with an office supply order. I said, hey, let's get sugar-free jelly beans, since everyone here's always complaining about sweets. So we got sugar-free jelly beans. And what did the complainers do? Turned up their noses.

What the hell is up with that?

If you want to eat cake, great. If you don't want to eat cake, great. I don't need to hear about it. And for Heaven's sake, don't eat the cake and then come back with "I shouldn't have eaten that cake."

Why is it women who always do this? I don't believe I've EVER seen a man do it. And women want to talk about their food... "oh I can't eat that, it's too fattening," or "I can't eat that, it has too many carbs..." Why do I need to know about it? I don't. Eat what you want, leave the rest, and HUSH already!

Okay, I think I'm done now.
