Loving a Mexican's honesty!

So, it has been too long since I have received a back-handed compliment. So... today was the day! :o) I had a doctors appt. today, it was just a check up for my Shingles. I have been taking Lyrica for the past 3 months and I have gained a little more than 10 pounds. So, I just stopped taking it and was set on telling this man I was NOT going to take it anymore. I went in and told him the only problem I still had was the itching. He tells me I need to continue on with this medication for 3 more months. Hmmmm.....that would be 20 pounds in 6 months. No thank you! I told him I had gained weight and he said, "Well, stop eating so much." Okay, that wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear. I told him I had started Weight Watchers and was trying to lose the weight. He then says, " Well, lets weigh you." Also not what I needed to hear. I wanted to say, "Look bud, the only thing wrong with me is I itch! Plus the fact that YOU put me on a medicine that made me gain weight." Instead, I smiled looked at the scale as if it would eat me and stepped on it ever so lightly as if that would make me weigh less! Sure enough it said what I already knew. He smiled really big and using his STUPID English says, " FAT LADY!"  Me: "Ugggg.... keep smiling, don't knee him," then he grinned again and said, " FAT PRETTY LADY." Knee goes up, and Greg starts talking about my medication. Oh how lucky that man is! Anyway, so now I know, I am a fat, pretty, lady. Somehow, that doesn't make me feel good. Doesn't that man know anything? His wife is probably anorexic or maybe she left him for a fat man. :o) I must say, sometimes this culture just about does me in! Anyway, I am not taking the medicine even though he thinks it is a good idea. Hope this has given you a few laughs! I am laughing now as I sit here and think about the doughnuts in the kitchen. Love you! The Fat Gringa
