Why it is impossible to work with women and be thin
Today I got up early and went for a run while it was still dark. Feeling very vertuous I had brioche and jam for breakfast and a cup of tea, which goes without saying! I had a woman with problems coming at 9.30am so I washed up the last 2 days of dishes (!) while drinking another cup of tea. She arrived with a bag of pastries and a baguette. I had baked her a cake. So we ate cake and pastries and drank 2 cups of tea. She left at 12.30 and I had to leave again at 1.30, so no time for cooking…I’ll eat another pastry! Off for a brisk walk to visit another lady from the church, trying hard to burn off as many pastry calories as possible. I arrive and hand over another cake I had baked for her. ‘Oh thank you, I’ve made a cake too!’ So we sit down to another 2 cups of tea and 2 types of cake. (By the way…we get on really well, she lives a 15min walk from me and she is very keen to get a women’s group off the ground. I think we will be good friends. Please pray.)
So it’s 4.30pm. I have already drunk 6 cups of tea, eaten 3 different kinds of French pattiseries and 2 different types of cake. In 3 hours it is the church Bible study… 
It is IMMPOSSIBLE to work in a French church and be thin. I’m convinced. Maybe that’s why French women are so thin, because they don’t go to church. I’m sure someone could do a phd on that…hmmm?!
