post the hundred-sixty-seventh, 2013

somehow the discussion came around to bacon and one of them said towards me - "i know you don't eat bacon cause you're so healthy." ummm... no? i eat bacon -- and just about anything else i please. people think if you're healthy-ish that that means you don't eat fun things. makes sense i guess. what doesn't make sense is why they think they can comment in it. happens all the time -- "you're so healthy, you must never eat cake." or they'll apologize -- "sorry. i know you're healthy, but i am going to have some cake." or they'll make an excuse about exercising later or skipping supper or something. just all sorts of things. but can you imagine turning it around? "you're so unhealthy, you must never eat carrots." "sorry. i know you're unhealthy, but imma have a salad."  you can't call out someone for being fat or unhealthy but you can call out someone for being healthy. it's a form of bullying - - using my healthy habits to ostracize me from the group. 

yeah. go ahead and roll your eyes. i know the truth.
