Haha, yes! This describes my stepmom perfectly. She once told me (chubby kid) "Don't eat olives, they're full of fat." She also runs marathons. She runs so much, one of their dogs had to have surgery on BOTH her hips. Yeah.

And ten to one that breakfast the affluent families eat is something like Cheerios with skim milk, or toast and OJ, or black coffee and a Nutrigrain bar.

I wish we had a Crossfit facility here. Then at least I'd know where to go to find a workout buddy.
