Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for January 15, 2010

Wow, sportswear that actually made Cathy exercise!

I know someone who says that the only time you’ll see him running is when something is chasing him.

Reminds me of a joke I read once.

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program. The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old woman dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.” Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me”.

Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and it takes him a while before he can continue, so for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape

much to his delight on the fifth day he weighs himself only to discover that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.

“Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.” “Absolutely, “he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.”

The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,

“If I catch you, you’re mine!”

He lost 63 pounds that week.

Fear is an excellent weight loss tool. :)

Hmm; sports wear you exercise in to lose weight and then look good in it…what’ll they think of next??

LOL Librarian, that was hysterical!

At least it was good for something!

It’s the same thing every day. Jeez are you milking this tiny sport clothes thing for way more than it’s worth. It was only slightly amusing the first day, and not at all a week later. We get it. It doesn’t fit her.

If you are all seeing what I’m seeing everyday of the week, this story line could go on forever. It seems most folks don’t understand that those clothes don’t even look good on my anorexic girlfriends – let alone anyone who eats.
