Observation #56 Women and Weight-loss

“Hey, Ventnor. You are a real asshole.”

Wow. I quickly ran many scenarios in my head. What stupid comment did I make to make her mad? “Sorry.”

She quickly explained that I was an asshole because of the weight I lost. Again I apologized. She said that she hated how easy it is for men to lose weight. Granted, if it was really easy I would have done it a long time ago. Relatively speaking, I imagine it is easier for men to lose weight. It sucks for the ladies.

I think the boobs are the first problem. Getting in the way. Plus, the more muscle you have, the easier it is lose weight. The round mounds will never be fat burners. The second problem with women and weight loss is the time. My wife has given me a tonne of time to workout. I think the day to day demands of a woman’s life certainly make the scheduling for working out and eating healthy that much more difficult. The third issue is hormones. I will never understand the female body. I mean I understand what I need to understand but the hormonal roller coaster will remain a mystery to me. When a woman busts her ass on the Biggest Loser and only loses a little bit, Bob’s face gets all scrunched up. I wish the contestant would just tell the crowd what’s going on. “Bob, I was a bit bloated this week.” That would unscrew his face. Let’s not forget that women were made to carry babies. Those genetics put you up against it.

I live in a house full of ladies. So its Ladies First in my life. I am a lame duck so I have no choice but be sympathetic. It may be take longer for women to lose weight but as long as they get there in the end, we all benefit. You feel better and hopefully I get to feel more often.
