Did you ever have one of those friends, who means well, but somehow he just winds up doing all the wrong things no matter what? You know, the kind that after you say something about him, you follow it with “Bless his heart.” I have a friend like that. Bless his heart.
This poor guy just cannot catch a break. He has a dating record that just can’t be beat. And of course, he always falls in love at first sight. His first girlfriend had “long flowing black hair and a smile that could move mountains.” He finally left her after discovering she was on crack and had moved her drug dealer boyfriend in with her. After that, there were a string of first dates; he came to our house, we got him ready, and upon arrival to pick up his date, she says, “I’ll be just a minute. Oh, don’t worry about that guy; that’s just my husband.”
About 5 girlfriends later, and they’ve all allegedly cheated on him. He decided to join the military, and they kicked him out (thankfully) because of his knees. When he got home, his family had given away ALL of his clothes. Even his underwear. And yet he remains one of the kindest and well-meaning people ever.
I have been kicking ass for the most part on the eating better train. I threw out my birthday cake, replaced the cookies with 100 Calorie Packs, chips with carrots, Coca Cola for Coke Zero, and have been eating the hell out of some salads. With lemon juice for dressing. I just went to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet with my girl friend, and what did I eat? Water, hot and sour soup, and vegetarian sushi. And I like the changes, I really do. I have less days where I feel crummy. And even with the hopeless friend parked on our couch for weeks, I haven’t veered too much into the dark side. And he’s not a freeloader, so he wants to make up for our company.
Insert cheesecake.
And now for Thanksgiving Day I’m going to have to pretend salad is fried turkey and carrots are pumpkin pie. Bless my heart.

Hey!. I am going to check it, since I saw a comment in another site regarding \”n He Brought Me a Chocolate-Lover’s Cheesecake | (the) Jebbica\”. Someone related to chocolate soup. Thanks anyway.

Yeah you know Coke Zero is worse than Coke-
Aspartame- it causes cancer! The 100 calorie packs probably contain corn syrup for sugar.
Shit or get off the pot.

@ Jane: What these days doesn’t cause cancer? Personally, I like Coke Zero better than Coke. The only thing different about 100 Calorie packs vs. regular snacks is they already come pre-portioned, which is good for someone with no willpower like myself. There’s nothing wrong with trying to eat better. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. But last time I checked, this was my blog.
As for shitting, not sure what that has to do with anything, unless you have some sort of freaky fetish.

@ Jebbica: Exactly, what DOESN’T cause cancer! I can’t stand people that try to be different. Recently at work we had the offer for free flu shots. I asked a couple of employees if they wanted to go down and get one. One said yes. The other said, “Flu shot? You kidding me? Why am I going to inject myself with the flu to try and prevent it?”. Needless to say, I felt like smackin’ him. I also have a friend that doesn’t wear his seat belt because he doesn’t want to be trapped in case of an accident. I said, “so you would rather be 200 feet out in front of my car mangled and tangled in your own arms and legs?” Was that wrong?

@ The Photoshopjunkie: Well, you’ll be happy to know that I got my free flu shot, and I always wear my seat belt! I have had encounters like yours regarding both, though. I wasn’t about to pass on a free flu shot, even though it was a drive-thru shot…I even got a free thermometer out of it! But I had people who weren’t about to go get one with me. As for the seat belt…that gets me every time! I guess it’s your decisions though, do what you want to do, but buckle up if you’re riding with me! Thanks for your comment.
