My ex girlfriend whom I have not seen in at least five years invited me out to dinner next Monday. There have evidently been some changes in her life since the last time I saw her. She says she has been diagnosed as morbidly obese with high blood pressure and diabetes. The really scary thing is that she has been a vegetarian her entire life. My understanding (since I'm also vegetarian) is that it's a healthier way of eating. Still I'm sure, based on her eating habits when we were dating, that she has consumed mass quantities of pastries and other fat laden albeit plant based foods. That, coupled with no exercise and a very stressful job with long hours, can lead one to pack on the pounds.
I don't know what she will look like when I see her but she did warn me to "be prepared."
I'm thinking more, "Be afraid. Be very afraid."
