  1. fluffy says:

    *facepalm*

    • McFail says:

      The calories don’t count if you don’t pay for them.

      • fluffy says:

        Also – if you eat them standing over the kitchen sink.

        • Lurk ♀ says:

          Not to mention on days that end with “y.”

          • Avis says:

            Or if you break them into little pieces. The calories fall out if you do that.

            • Lurk ♀ says:

              Were they Dark Side cupcakes? Maybe stealing them was the evil deed she needed to burn off the calories from eating them.

              • Jules ♂ ♪ says:

                *eats cupcakes*
                :vomit:
                see it doesn’t count!

                • Leila ♀-waiting in WN's studio to be painted says:

                  Jules! :shock:

                  • Admiral Apparent says:

                    I knew someone whose sister suffered from Bulimia nervosa. I happened to visit one day right after a binge. Scary. There was nothing left in the kitchen. She would compulsively pick at her face, too. Her family and friends felt helpless.

                    • jam says:

                      Even after all the diets I’ve tried, that’s something I’ll never be. I enjoy food too much and I’d not be able to cope with the upchuck.

                      • Dragonwriter says:

                        I had a friend who was bulimic. She was a psychological mess in quite a few ways as well…it’s really an illness, not a choice.

                        *squeeze!*

                        • fluffy says:

                          Awwww… *squeezes* It’s a horrible disease.

                        • Marius says:

                          I had a young girl on the travel soccer team who was struggling with bulimia. She would be okay for a while and suddenly just waste away. Not a good thing.

                        • jam says:

                          I was under the impression that certain model types think it’s a good way of keeping the weight down. Though they’d have to be a psychological mess to go through with it.
                          I appreciate that it’s more of a mental illness with physical symptoms. :)
                          *squeeze*

                        • Leila ♀- shoplifter / body paint by Jimbob's Paint Monster says:

                          Anorexia – another horrible eating disorder. :( I don’t know anyone personally but have seen documentaries and it’s heartbreaking.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          It amazes me still that these particular eating disorders, which kill people through malnutrition, starvation, heart problems and other related organ failures, garner all the sympathy and media while those that result in obesity are still considered “moral failings” on the part of the victim. Someone who starves herself to death deserves our pity…someone who eats herself death deserves our scorn. It makes me so sad.

                        • Lurk ♀ says:

                          *agrees*

                        • Leila ♀- shoplifter / body paint by Jimbob's Paint Monster says:

                          Is obesity a medical condition? I come from a third world country and what I see is that people eat way too much here in the US. So, it confuses me. I know some suffer from thyroid disorders but the majority I view as gluttons.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          DW, I don’t think I’ve ever pondered the difference in popular opinion of those opposites. Good point. I tend to feel sympathy for anyone who is unhappy with the way they are.

                          The bulimic I knew was not thin…I thought she was a healthy size for her frame.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Most bulimics are, actually. Very few of them are over or under a healthy weight for their height. That’s why bulimics can hide their disorders for so long…there are few outward signs. Until, of course, they go to a dentist, or are diagnosed with esophageal cancer.

                          Leila’s use of the word “glutton” is at the heart of this difference. “Gluttony” is still considered a deadly “sin”…a moral failing, not a physical one. Not all overweight people have eating disorders–just like not a skinny people are anorexic. But there are those on both sides who have a real medical problem, and the ones who die skinny garner sympathy while the ones who die obese are despised…in the popular !magination, at any rate.

                          It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from the show House:

                          “Do you know why they have ribbons for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and not for lung cancer?…People blame lung cancer patients. They smoke. They screwed up. They deserve to die.”

                          (Stoopit i-word, stoopit moderation, apologies for the eventual double post.)

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          I don’t watch House anymore (well, maybe sporadically to see if it has recovered), but loved the first few seasons. I remember that quote and also thinking how insightful it was.

                        • Avis says:

                          I always thought referring to bulimia and anorexia as eating disorders was something of a misnomer. They are very much like depression. The inability to see oneself as any thing other than loathsome. But, I could be waaaaay off base with that.
                          I feel I should point out that I view neither eating disorder nor depression as the fault of the one suffering. But find similarities between them.

                        • Jimbo got his inner redneck under control says:

                          I think a big part of the issue is not understanding what “gluttony” really is. A sex addict is as much a glutton as someone who eats entirely too much. Alcoholism is also a form of gluttony. The opposite form of gluttony is temperance, which means keeping all things you do in their proper place, and in the proper amount. You also must remember that a disease is not a moral issue, and moral issues are not diseases. The reason a christian is forbidden to judge someone is because we can rarely tell the difference.

                        • Emperor, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          I think that one major reason for the hard feelings against those that are obese is the strain that they put on the medical system. (Note trying to be objective about this, as I have not decided what side I choose) They say that 1.3 billion dollars is spent on the obese. From new obese clinics, (none for most bulimics), the heart surgeries, bypasses and such, (which my grandfather has just undergone not one week ago) and the other medical bills for the breathing issues and extra stresses on their bodies. People view obesity as more readily curable than anorexia or bulimia. Gastric bypasses, lypo-suctions (sp?), diet (choose one), exercise or a balanced lifestyle. When they view the diseases on the other side of the spectrum, rather than the disease they see the mental stress and question cause. It is naturally, or should I say commonly, assumed that obesity is caused by eating more than you expend. (Definitely not naturally). The set off for the others is not assumed to be as easy as calories in > (less than if it doesn’t show) calories out. So sympathy is directed most often to the mind rather than the disease itself. Ie you poor girl/guy what must of drove you to this? (Common thought) Obesity, Why did you eat? (direct to the issue rather than the cause). Sorry about the essay.

                        • Fungus says:

                          Bulimia = Anorexia fail. :lol:

                        • Avis says:

                          Emperor, I don’t think people much think about obesity quite that way. I don’t think people about the medical aspect of it. Or the financial end of it. That requires more than a visceral reaction. I don’t think people think all that much. Most of ‘em anyway. Some think. The folks here do. And that is what draws others like them/us here. People are stupid, individuals are intelligent.
                          *again acknowledges that this may make no sense*

                        • Emperor, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Well I wouldn’t say people don’t think. They think, their thinking compares as much as walking out of a room compares to exercise. They don’t stretch their minds to actually learn about a topic. They are just Simpson watchers. Watch the headlines and react. I have to admit I only learned the financial aspect from my brother who is taking Kinesiology. Though with common sense I could figure the strain on the health care.

                          I agree with you though in the end, the feelings against obese people come from the media and all it transmits. Not often is it genuine informed opinions.

                          *Notes that Avis always draws him in*
                          Never time to shade though.

                        • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

                          I just had a similar conversation with my Mom… I estimate that I eat 7times as much as I actually need to survive / thrive. Why? Who the hell knows. I don’t cook that well :)

                        • Avis says:

                          I’ll take that as a compliment. But I mean what I said. If I broached this subject with members of my family they would fail to see that sometimes, some things are not a matter of willpower or self control. They would only see that the individual is being stubborn. My aunt and her husband took in a relative, an alcoholic. They ended up kicking him out because he cheated a bit and had a drink. He had no where else to go. The man now lives on the streets, and is getting even less help than he was getting with them! And they feel JUSTIFIED. I think they have things a bit backwards.

                        • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

                          The thing with food is it has to be managed, and that can be hard when it has become an addictive / compulsive behavior.
                          Who would ask an alcoholic to go to the liquor store and buy enough to last all week for that person and their family, and then expect them to not get into trouble?

                          It sounds like a bad joke but here it is:
                          You can’t quit food cold turkey.

                        • Avis says:

                          I’m just disappointed in my family in their behavior. They claim to be such christians, and act like such creeps. It bothers me. To say the least.

                        • Emperor, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

                          Hippocrisy seems to be popular among us Christians.

                        • Brewski says:

                          In an interesting coincidence, I have noticed how thin everybody is in China. I have seen almost zero obesity. Those rare people that are overweight would be considered average-weight in the USA. So I wonder how much is genetics vs. lifestyle vs. culture vs. diet vs. … etc etc. There are so many variables. It’s always a shock to go back to the USA after travelling abroad. We are the fattest nation on earth. Why do you suppose that is? I think a big part is lack of exercise. We drive everywhere. Except maybe NYC residents.

              • Leila ♀-waiting in WN's studio to be painted says:

                Forget the cupcake. I baked us another birthday chocolate cake.

                *passes plates & forks & napkins*

                …and yes, it’s :twisted: !!!!

      • LOL … you are 100% correct.

  2. Dr.Nick says:

    Low fat cupcakes I hope.

  3. Judy says:

    *snork!*

  4. technicolor says:

    Give up the goods and nobody gets hurt see.

  5. Avis says:

    Forbidden fruit is sooooo tempting!

  6. applien says:

    hahaha

  7. Sloth says:

    She was stealing them so the fat people wouldn’t be tempted, obviously.

  8. nightshayde says:

    She was going to bring them to a meeting to say, “See these? You shouldn’t eat these!”

  9. Lurk ♀ says:

    Aw, give the fat woman a break. How could she resist a temptation like that?

  10. Leila ♀-waiting in WN's studio to be painted says:

    It’s for my birthday dammit!!!!

  11. Sloth says:

    It is saying something about me when I first thought equated ‘demonstrator’ with ‘protester’. Of course, the story might make more sense in that case.

  12. chez says:

    What she said: “And remember, fresh fruits and veggies are the key to taking the edge off that between-meal hunger.”

    What she was thinking: “All your cupcakes are belong to me!!!”

  13. Judson says:

    do these cupcakes make my ass look fat?

  14. CanadianDot says:

    But we get so hungry… SO hungry!!

  15. Leila ♀ says:

    I was hoping I will be all painted up for my birthday but WN postponed. *sigh* Oh well…

    …did anyone remember to bring the cuddle puddle from the previous fail?

  16. Grosjean says:

    The Weight Watchers did not watch her close enough…

  17. Alex says:

    It’s 0 points if you didn’t pay for it!!!

  18. Bearly Awake says:

    *Sneaks into fail*
    *Gives stealth squeezes to all her failfriends*
    *Sneaks back out and does what she’s supposed to be doing at work*
    *Misses failfriends*

  19. Ed says:

    There is no doubt who the culprit is:

    Marjorie from FAT FIGHTERS

    http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00685/lucasembed_685229a.jpg

  20. The Sarge says:

    LAST

  21. first says:

    Maybe she wants to watch her weight go up? Nothing wrong with that.

  22. 5 Eagles says:

    Hello Muffins!!!!!!!!

  23. J Hopeless says:

    I live in PSL and i’m not surprised it happened here. Itz probably front page news down here.

  24. failure at failing says:

    they were weight watchers cupcakes i mean c’mon AND she got some teeth whitening strips! at least u gotta give her credit for that :P

    • Leila ♀- shoplifter / body paint by Jimbob's Paint Monster says:

      We don’t give credit anymore.
      Economy is bad.

      *teeth whitening strips??*

      • technicolor says:

        Guess we didn’t get the whole story.
        Bet her mug shot was spectacular.

      • Judy says:

        If I don’t see you again, Leila, have a happy birthday tomorrow!
        *squeezies & smooch*

        • Leila ♀- shoplifter / body paint by Jimbob's Paint Monster says:

          Judy, thank you!!
          *squeeze & smooches back*
          I still want your croissant. :D

          • Dragonwriter says:

            *brings a whole basketful of croissants*

            HOPPY BURFDAY!

            • Judy says:

              Outta here, folks! Going to get my honey and we’re headed down to the Italian Festival in Wheeling! And I’m gittin’ me a funnel cake! Have a nice evening, all! *smooch*

              • Admiral Apparent says:

                Remember, don’t take a deep breath right before you bite in…the powdered sugar will get sucked in and make you cough. :-)

                Have a wonderful time!

                *SQUEEZE*

            • Skratdaddy says:

              Leila…ready for your spanking? Let’s see one for each year…so you get what???
              *drops 22 croissants into FryDaddy*
              One deep fried croissant for every year along with one swat.
              Ok, drop your drawers and let’s go!
              Who gets to deliver the first one?

  25. John says:

    Self righteous bastards. It doesn’t matter if you count it in your points total for the week. DUH. :P

  26. Meowth says:

    She was just doing her job by keeping the cupcakes out of the hands of her clients. If she stole them all, no one else could eat them.

  27. CUPCAKES says:

    Pssst.
    Psssst.
    Hey you.
    Fatso, over here.
    Steal me. Steal me.
    Steeeeeeal meee.
    You won’t get caught.
    Do it. No one will see.
    Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeal meeeeeeee. :evil:

  28. ZombieApocalypse says:

    No worries, we won’t judge you here. :)

    • Qwaz says:

      I will. Have you ever SEEN a pichu?

      • nightshayde says:

        I’ve seen a picture of a pichu. His name is Machu. He’s big and old and falling apart.

        Oh. Wait. That was Picchu. :???:

        • Qwaz says:

          Llamas like Machu.
          .
          He’s a nice guy, people walk all over him.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            Yay! I’m a llama again!

            Wait…

            True Story:
            My sister once wrote “I am a geek” on my arm. I looked down and based on the way she wrote it, and the fact that I was looking at it upside-down, I thought it said “llama geek”. So I wrote “Camel geek” on her arm. We still call eachother llama and camel geek to this day. Ahhh, memories.

  29. Brewski says:

    Hey Leila! Where I am, it’s your birthday right now!
    So, happy birthday!
    *hugs and a kiss for the birthday girl*

  30. nightshayde says:

    *has seen neither a cigarette nor a pile of sticks*

  31. Halifax180 says:

    Cupcake! 2 points for me!

    Wait, weight watchers is like golf. :(

  32. nightshayde says:

    I’ve decided that it’s physically impossible for me to listen to “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & the Waves without moving some part of my body (perhaps many parts). It’s such a happy little song!

  33. Emperor, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

    So the pool has been fully dug out. It is now a hole in the backyard with spray paint markers for the transition of shallow to deep end.

  34. Qwaz says:

    I hope this imbedding thing works. If not I’ll put it on a clicky.
    .
    But the people at blamesocietyfilms don’t like us too much.

  35. californiumblog says:

    hope it wasnt the same person who called 911 cuz the McD’s was outta nuggets.

  36. sauer kraut says:

    She at least did not steal the pound cake… imagine all the points she’d accumulate then.

  37. EGV says:

    Desperate Housewi…uh….weight watcher!

  38. Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

    • odinsmom says:

      Just wanted to come out of my shell to tell you I thought that was a great post :)

      • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

        Thanks. Welcom to the Fail. Your avatar reminds me of Dragon from the Rats of NIHM Movie.
        I am glad you came out of your shell – not a bad crack at a first yolk.

  39. Rayna says:

    For the record these WERE weight watchers cupcakes

  40. Brewski says:

    Hello! Is there anybody out there?

    Is there anybody home?

  41. Brewski says:
