If you have a husband who weighs less than he did in high school.
Who has never needed to diet a day in his life, except for the experimental ones he does “for fun.”
Who has something called a metabolism.
And self-control i.e. he has a jar of his favorite treat (Jelly Bellies) on his office desk and only eats a few of them a day.
A man who consumed the exact same food you did on your honeymoon and managed to lose three pounds while you gained two. OK, four.
That same man who “offered” to do a 3-day Torturous Starvation Fruit Flush Diet with you last week. You reluctantly agreed, knowing he would kick your weight-loss butt.
The man who, for the first time in his life, quit 32 hours into it but still lost 3 lbs.
The woman who, for the first time in her life, suffered through the 72 hours of misery and WAS THE WEIGHT-LOSS WINNER… OR RATHER LOSER WITH 6.5 lbs.
