Your Favourite Whitney Memories: 'Singing At The Back Of The Bus'
Jamie Lee Curtis: Blame It On The Fame Game?
Today's Whoa comes from Cara, whose boyfriend Alex who had a uniquely horrifying way of determining whether to take their relationship further."My boyfriend and I had been dating for five years and had discussed marriage. On a trip to L.A. for my birthday, he said that if the scale said he had finally made it down to 200 lbs., he'd propose. (This was a long-standing 'joke,' since he'd been actively trying to lose weight .)
"So right there on the beach boardwalk, he jumps up on the scale. (Of course, I provide the 50 cents for the stupid thing.) When he saw the scale read 200 lbs., he AUDIBLY SIGHED WITH RELIEF! I could have happily shoved him right off the pier!
"Keep in mind we were vacationing with his FAMILY, to whom he proudly announced, 'We ALMOST just got engaged, but I was saved by the scale.' I could only stand there and smile in shock and embarrassment. One of the most, if not THE most, humiliating moments of my life."
Cara, it sounds like you were saved by the scale.

if fate had wanted them to be together, the scale would have tipped in under 200.
obviously it was not meant to be.

If the scale read 200, he'd propose, but then this writer said it was 200, but was glad he didn't have to propose. What am I missing?

you wasted your time with someone who determined whether or not you got married on how much he weighs! Most men dump us for being overweight and after having kids with those sorry losers! Especially if we start out thin, perfectly proportioned and have one kid and don't get all the baby weight gained while pregnant lost the second the baby is born! Men are so mean when they do this and are nothing more than pigs! Most men want Barbie and just to get laid settle for fat and nasty and vice versa for the ladies looking for Mr. Good Looking!
