The Fat Bridesmaid, Part 1: You Are What You Eat My sister is getting married in October, and her bridal shower was yesterday. There's 5 of us in the bridal party; 4 of us are all tall and thin, and 1 is short and fat (think 5'2" and at least 250lbs). This was the same fatass that ordered her bridesmaid dress 2 sizes too small because she thought it would motivate her to lose weight. Not only has she NOT lost any weight, she looks like she might have even GAINED some. After watching her eating habits during the lunch, it's no wonder. We hosted the shower/lunch at a really nice Italian restaurant. My sister (the bride) and the rest of bridal party were all at one table. As the matron of honour, I sat beside my sister, and the fat bridesmaid decided to sit beside me. Lunch consisted of 4 courses, plus a HUGE fruit tray at the end. The first course was a traditional Italian antipasto platter, with pickled eggplant, hot peppers, melon, prosciutto, and bocconcini cheese. The only things fatty ate off that plate were the cheese and the prosciutto - not even the melon that it was wrapped around. Course 2 was an amazing seafood salad (the best I've ever had!) that I think was imitation crab, lobster meat, and baby shrimp, coated in lemon juice. It was delicious. Fatty didn't have any. Course 3 was a warm pasta salad, with rotini pasta, zucchini, and bell peppers. This course was served family style, so of COURSE fatty loaded up her plate with carbs. Since the dish was covered in veggies, fatty pushed them all to the side and ate only the pasta. Half way through this course, she decided that she didn't want the peppers on her plate anymore, so she turns to my sister and says, "{Bride} I don't like peppers, do you want them?" and starts spearing them with her fork, one at a time, and passing them right in front of my face, to my sister who is seated on the other side of me. The main course was a generous portion of pan-fried veal with carrots, potatoes, and roasted squash. Of course, fatty devoured the veal and the potatoes, but didn't touch the carrots or the squash. For dessert, there was a HUGE fruit tray with melons, pineapple, and strawberries, as well as the shower cake, and several mini cupcakes & mini cheesecakes. To no one's surprise, fatty loads up on cakes without even entertaining the idea of having some fresh fruit. There was also mimosas being served that had fresh strawberries in them. Fatty downed her mimosa, then turns to me and goes, "do you want my strawberries {theepilepticferret}?" I declined, and opted for some fresh ones that weren't covered in ham germs. TL;DR: It's complete bullshit when fatties say they eat the same thing as skinny people. Even if they are served the exact same meal, they will find a way to skip the healthy stuff and pick out only the crap/processed parts and devour those like it's their job.
