Apparently I am a fat hog.
It was a bright and beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. All was beauteous and good.
And then I allowed a member of the male sex to attempt to guess my weight. At which point, I experienced a sensation not unlike TOTAL DESPERATION AND DESPAIR. And the rest was kind of a muddy haze after that. Somehow it is 6 hours later and I find myself slumped over in front of my computer, scraping out the last remnants of a half-gallon of oreo cookie ice cream.
Apparently, I look as though I weigh a whopping ELEVEN POUNDS more than I do. Which by my estimations is AN F---ING LOT. As a matter of fact, I spend 6 days week at the F---ING gym attempting NOT to look like I weigh ELEVEN POUNDS more than my current weight. Fat lot of good THAT has been doing me (pun intended).
The upshot is that I raced home from hearing the horrible news and leaped onto my scale to discover that I actually weigh TWO POUNDS LESS than I THOUGHT I weighed. Which helps a little, I suppose. However, the BAD news is that now I have a complete complex about it. I was not aware that I was husky. Curvaceous, sure. (BTW, when I looked this word up in the dictionary to make sure I spelled it correctly, it indicated a "well-proportioned" female. Hmph. It seems I'm a little bit more than THAT.)
Good thing there is another half-gallon of ice cream awaiting me. As long as I LOOK like I weigh ELEVEN POUNDS MORE THAN I DO, I MIGHT AS WELL FILL THE BILL.
Sigh.
Later fellow taters,
Fatty McGee.

haha usually when guys try to guess my weight they drastically underestimate. they usually get a response from me something along the lines of, "yeah! right, i wish!". i would like to think it's because i hide my fat so well, but perhaps it is more likely their extremely poor estimating skills.
AAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Your first mistake was ever letting him attempt to guess your weight in the first place--a situation which be avoided AT ALL COSTS.
But, since it did happen, you had only one course of action, in my opinion. Grossly misestimate his weight right back. If he is a pretty small guy, underestimate by about 25 pounds (scrawny guys are seriously insecure about this), and if he is a medium to big guy, overestimate. They are usually just as sensitive about this as we are (sometimes worse, I think).
