You’ll Thank Me Later

I'm just not sure that I do enough to help you on this arduous weight-loss journey of yours. Oh sure... I blog quite a bit, and I try to pass on as much good (and bad) advice as I possibly can. But I think I can have more of an impact on belping you achieve your goals, and starting today, I'm going to do it! My plan?
  • I take a hammer to every snack product in your pantry
  • I stand behind you and scream “Fatass!” every time you pick up a piece of candy
  • I squirt pepper spray in your face when every time you eat a chimichanga
  • I spraypaint your car windows black so you can’t see any fast-food joints while you’re driving around town
  • I leave a six-minute voicemail on your cell phone that’s just me repeating “Go to the gym!” over and over
  • I give you a wedgie every time you start to eat cheese
  • I hide your salt shaker
  • I carry around my “lucky funnel” for when you forget to drink your water
  • I padlock your fridge every night at 8 p.m.
  • I host a “Oreo intervention” for you and invite all your friends and co-workers
  • I sit in the back seat and sing “I’m Henry the Eighth, I am… Henry the Eighth, I am, I am…” whenever you eat in the car
  • I slam my grocery cart into your grocery cart every time you try to buy cookies
  • I call the pizza place where you just ordered delivery and ask them to add “toenail clippings” all over the top
  • I weld the change slot shut on the vending machine in your office
  • I spit in your can of Pepsi
  • I replace your ranch dressing with Elmer’s Glue
  • Whenever you go three days without blogging, I call you up and blow a whistle into the phone

  1. Man, should I go through this and dissect it point by point?

    um...

    No. Not today. I'll just laugh and move on.

  6. have you got my number? I could use the whistle blowing thing. I have a fetish for whistles. That's why I'm on the train all the time... but, uh, that's a different blog post...

  7. OMG! I love it. Let me give you my number because some of those things would help. LOL! I do little things like that to myself. I decided to try running and when I wanted to stop (short of my goal), I thought to myself "Do you want to be fat or do you want to be hot?". BTW- I kept running after that. :)

  8. The last thing I need is someone else screaming "Fatass" at me. Oh wait...that would probably work.

    ReplyDelete
  12. That'd be awesome! But I'm not sure I'd enjoy the Elmer's glue thing. Even if it was out of love.

    ReplyDelete
  13. New marketing idea...a Jack Sh*t Doll to carry around when on diets. Pull the string, and words of wisdom (and songs) flow.

    (am I hired yet? that is two good ideas in two days...LOL)

  17. I just got an email that had the subject, "Put down that donut" - apparently our Employee Council is encouraging people to sign up for bootcamp. I hate donuts. I like your list better.

    ReplyDelete

    And the laugh!

  21. Thanks! I loved this.

    Would it be possible to hire you to stand behind me and scream “Fatass!” every time I pick up a piece of candy? If only..... Where were you while I was packing on these 200+ pounds?

    Thanks for the laugh!!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Can I subscribe to this offer? How does this work? I have hammers, you wouldn't need to bring one!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hilarious!!!! Would hire you as my personal ass kicker in a heartbeat!

  32. How many times do I have to invite you to come visit me for a month? This is exactly what I need!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh my could you host my oreo intervention? Oreos + wine = big no no

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sounds good. Could you just kick me in the ass anytime I start feeling sorry for myself?

    (although, watch out....I'm working these guns)

    ReplyDelete
  35. YIKES - now you have me scared. Sitting here being quiet has worked for so long- although this might be just the kick in the butt I need.

    ReplyDelete

  38. wow. I am not sure I can ever eat a pizza again. I think you win!!

  39. BA HA HA HA!

    I haven't laughed this hard in a while.... I'm sure my co-workers think I'm slightly mental.

    Thanks for the laugh (nevermind the many pictures that are now floating through my head). I'll keep the "fatass" one in mind next time I don't want to go for a run :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'd like to sign up for the 8 p.m. fridge padlocking service, please. I'll pay extra if you will also padlock a cupboard containing my snacks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The worst part is that it's true: all those things would be better than going back.

    Yeesh.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jack, there's a little award for you over at my blog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hahahahahhahahaaa...funny! I particularly like the idea of calling after three non-blogging days and blowing your whistle!

  45. You are so incredibly helpful! I especially need that 6 minute voicemail today and perhaps a bunch of kicks in the ass. ;)
