The Fat Pact
Here’s a bit of wishful thinking…
Yesterday, Chris and I were walking to dinner and discussing how couples tend to gain weight once they get married. Determined to go in the opposite direction, Chris proclaimed, “we should make a pact. If either of us gains fifty pounds, the other can sleep with someone else. Pregnancy not included, of course. Unless you’re carrying that extra weight around two years after the baby is born. Deal?”
I thought about it for a moment and then revised. “Twenty. I think it should be twenty pounds.”
And so it is. While I’m not a fan of open relationships, I’m also not really interested in packing on the extra pounds. This just might be the ticket to wedded bliss- or at least a series of awesome hookups…
P.S. Chris, wanna piece of chocolate cake? How about two?

Gosh, 20lbs over the rest of your life doesn’t sound like much. What if Chris devolops a medical condition and packs on a few? Next thing you know, Jaime is sleeping around and Chris’ self-esteem is crushed!
Agreed Deirdre- we were totally being facitious. Sorry to everyone who took the post seriously.
Wow, I’m relieved Jon and I don’t have that kind of pact!
