Iola's Idiocy

Hmmm I have no idea how to point today's lunch so I think I'll go for "everything in the bank" and hope it does the trick. (ie today's points +10) Went to a pub lunch with a friend who has had more positive periods in her life... She was wonderfully complementary about the weight-loss etc but it then became clear that she didn't quite grasp the concept of a diet where there isn't anything that's "not allowed" since every meal choice enquiry was preceded by an "are you allowed" so every response was "yes" some were then enhanced with a "but actually I don't want..." (you know the people who don't really get the idea that what they like is not necessarily what everyone likes... Gravy and Coffee with milk in it are both on my strong dislikes list and have been for the 20 years I've know her).

Anyway lunch soon became a rant-fest of all that is evil in her world and how it's all interlinked. As usual it was presented in an "it's all your fault way" which is somewhat infuriating as I am assigned views, values and opinions that are not mine in the discourse. However it's probably very good for me to not be the primary talker in at least one social situation a month.

I'm now having the same experience as last sunday - 3 hours after a pub meal a lead weight appears inside and I feel like I'll never eat again. Must learn that the reason chips taste a bit pants is because my tummy isn't very keen on trying to digest them. In another 3 hours I suspect there will be soup and in the morning the world will be digested. I am very glad i decided it would be OK to be late and go to the gym first!
