Diabetes
The cookie count for this holiday is at an all-time high. My rich boss has such a caring banking team that they send him 3 dozen fresh-baked cookies every year. A half-dozen of those have already made it to my insides, and there’s no sign of abatement on that front. It’s probably quite Bridget Jones of me to complain about my holiday dessert consumption but I want the world to know that this happens to everyone, not just to zany British singletons whose weight is exaggerated for American female viewers. Do you know she weighed 119 pounds in the print version of Bridget Jones’ Diary and 140 pounds in the film version? Clearly someone freaking out about weighing 119 pounds would constitute an entirely different movie. 140 pounds is the mean weight of the average American woman, so they had to to balloon Renee Zelwegger’s body to be commensurate with at least MOST ladies. You know, because no one wants to watch a movie where some skinny bitch smokes all day and talks about how fat she is. How French is that?
