Needs To Give Them The Skinny On Healthy Bodies

(There has been a lot of changes at my office lately. I’m helping coworkers: we’re putting files into cardboard boxes, and then we move these boxes into a room. I’m a skinny 36-year-old female. Coworker #1 is a male in his early fifties. We’re tired and Coworker #2 arrives with croissants for everyone.)

Coworker #2: “Let’s have a break!”

(I’m very hungry so I grab a chocolate croissant and I start eating. Coworker #1 frowns.)

Coworker #1: “[My Name], you’re going to put on weight if you eat this!”

Me: “Uh… I’m skinny!”

Coworker #1: “No, you’re not skinny!”

Me: “Well, what’s wrong with eating?”

(I’m hoping that Coworker #3 is not going to enter the room now, as she’s a gorgeous plus-size 20-year-old girl who’s very nice with me and doesn’t do diets. I don’t want her to hear such stupid fat-shaming stuff!)

Coworker #1: “It’s easy to put on weight, you know! Be careful!”

Me: “I’m old enough to know what I’m eating, thank you very much!”

(Coworker #3 and I had another croissant together one hour later. It was delicious!)
