How the obese ruined our fun night out Group of guys would get together once a week to hang out and do stuff; ping pong, pool, darts, foosball, etc.  It was BYO drink.  Once in a while someone would bring some snack food.  At one point we decided to make pretzel rods the “official” snack food of the group because it didn’t leave crap on your hands, and by extension on the equipment.  Then it would be girl scout cookie time, or someone’s birthday and we’d have cake but we collectively we hold off on the sweets till the end of the night when we were winding down.  Then it got to be “a must;” we always had to have a bag of rods and some kind of sweet for the end of the night.  Slowly we started introducing new snack items and started eating sweets at any time, not just when winding down.  Big fat surprise, we now have 2 obese in the group.  We’ve stopped doing any physical activity and only play sit down games.  They start snacking right at the beginning of the night.  They distribute paper plates to everyone for sharing and there will be multiple things to choose from, in addition to a few select items the obese brought just for their own consumption, like a candy bar or a brownie.  It’s 3.5 hours a grazing on candy, baked goods and snack foods.  The last guy to join the group (without my approval) is morbidly obese, brought on board by the other obese of course.  One of his first visits he brings among other things this giant store-bought brownie that looked to be about 4 servings.  When the another obese saw him pull out the brownie he said something about getting out the plates, with the unspoken intention the morbidly obese would share.  I knew damn well there was no way Morbid was sharing and it also cracked me up that Obese would immediately want / expect a share.  Nope.  Morbid sat there and ate that half pound brownie while Obese just looked on longingly.  I used to attend this group 50 weeks a year and loved it.  Now I go maybe once every other month because the obese have ruined it.  I call it the “Sit and Snack Club” now.  They have no comeback for that.
