THE SLIMMEST SPOUSE

Last night my husband grabbed his gut in both hands, jiggled it merrily and announced, "I need to lose 10 pounds!" I don't disagree. In fact, I'd like to lose 10 more myself. So, dear readers, I present to you.... drum roll.... THE SLIMMEST SPOUSE COMPETITION!

Just imagine:

Woman vs. Man
Wife vs. Husband
Life-long Dieter vs. Life-long Beer Drinker

He who brings home the bacon will go toe-to-toe with she who fries it up. Who will win? It's anybody's game.

In this corner:
29 year-old female, 5'1"
Education: Student of The Zone, The Atkins Diet, Weight Watchers, the Glycemic index, South Beach Diet, and vaguely remembers high school level health class.


And over here:
30 year-old male, 5'10"
Education: Boiling water.

Place your bets. The first weigh-in is tomorrow morning. I promise to bring you all the statistics, the highlights, the low blows and the sabotage.
