Have it your way.

I just got a nasty look in the lunch room. I was heating up a Lean Cuisine meal in the microwave of the staff lounge when I looked over to see a morbidly obese woman glaring at me. I could not figure out for the life of me what I had done. I didn't recognize her from any recent encounters. I said 'hello' when I walked in, I was polite and quiet, and I was quick.

As I stood there feeling her fat eyes drill a Kool-Aid man sized hole in the back of my head, I realized that it must have something to do with my lunch. It didn't smell obscene, so I figured that it was because I was heating a Lean Cuisine? I felt the need to confess that I bought the Lean Cuisine because it was on sale and that the day prior I fed my hangover with a 770 calorie Whopper with cheese in the Orlando airport. Then I began to realize that over the last few months I have made changes to what I eat and how often I work out. It has started to show and I look healthy. Fit, even.

I also thought that her look had nothing to do with me at all. For all I know, it had nothing to do with my lunch. Maybe I ran over her cat on my way to work, maybe she sat on her left labia, or nothing. Maybe that was just how she looked at people.

As I left the lounge, she said, "Enjoy your lunch." The word 'lunch' was accentuated with disdain, as if it were not really a meal. I smiled lightly and followed, "Thanks, you too." I was cordial, but I was not going to apologize for for eating a healthy lunch.
