Maybe I'll make that ricotta cheese dessert with stevia again one of these days.

"When Rebecca's boyfriend proposed, we downshifted to zero-carb meals from the South Beach Diet Cookbook so that she'd be acceptably skeletal for the wedding pictures that she'd pre-sold to a major fashion magazine. All those broiled tomatoes and extra lean beef patties paid off: in the published photos, she had a praying mantis jawline and her shoulder blades and clavicles looked like gorgeous flesh-wrapped razor blades.
Near the end of my first day back at Rebecca's after her two-week honeymoon in Bali, she walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, surveying the stacks of Pyrex boxes full of barley salad and roasted broccoli and lamb chops and Dijon vinaigrette. She closed the fridge and said, 'Everything looks amazing, as usual. Thank you so much, you're a superhero, but we have to have a difficult talk.'
My stomach lurched. She continued: 'Now that I'm an old married lady and ready to start a family, I've hired this incredibly sweet Thai housekeeper who will cook and clean and take care of my babies when I have them. But! I wanted to give you a parting gift.'
I wiped down my knives and wrapped them up for the last time, slightly crushed, but ready to graciously receive an envelope of severance cash and referrals to her rich friends.
"'I think you need to lose some weight,' said Rebecca."
