Well, gotbeer, I'm glad to hear it. Sorry if I've been a bit tough on you. Nor are women to the only ones with touchy subjects IMHO.

I like my husband's approach: Once, while looking at our wedding photographs, but before embarking on this WOE, I mentioned, "I think I've lost weight since the wedding."
He said, "I'm taking the fifth."
I laughed and said, "I guess you're right. There is no good answer to that remark."
He said, "Either I agree, in which case you were fat at the wedding. Or I disagree, in which case you are still fat, to your way of thinking, so I'm taking the Fifth."
