Thin People Don't
|By Barbara Florio GrahamFrom
McCall's, June, 1983I read every diet I can get my hands on. I even follow their suggestions. But
eventually, inevitably, I always get fat again. Now, at last, I've found The Answer. After living for
almost 14 years with a man who never gains an ounce no matter what I serve him, I've found out what it is

people:avoid eating popcorn in the movies because it gets their hands greasy;split a large combination pizza
with three friends;think Oreo cookies are for kids;nibble cashews one at a time;think that doughnuts are
indigestible;read books they have to hold with both hands;become so absorbed in a weekend project they
forget to have lunch;fill the candy dish on their desks with paper clips;counteract the midafternoon slump
with a nap instead of a cinnamon Danish;exchange the deep-fryer they received for Christmas for a
clock-radio;lose their appetites when they're depressed;think chocolate Easter bunnies are for kids;save
leftovers that are too skimpy to use for another meal in order to make interesting soups;throw out stale
potato chips;will eat only Swiss or Dutch chocolate, which cannot be found except in a special store;think
it's too much trouble to stop at a special store just to buy chocolate;don't celebrate with a hot-fudge
sundae every time they lose a pound;warm up after skiing with black coffee instead of hot chocolate and
whipped cream;try all the salads at the buffet, leaving room for only one dessert;find iced tea more
refreshing than an ice-cream soda;get into such interesting conversations at cocktail parties that they
never quite work their way over to the hors-d'oeuvre table;have no compulsion to keep the candy dish
symmetrical by reducing the jelly beans to an equal number of each color;think that topping brownies with
ice cream makes too rich a dessert;bring four cookies into the TV room instead of a box;think banana splits
are for kids.
