Food + Wine thinks I’m fat

.

There’s nothing like getting an email in your inbox from Food + Wine calling you fat. First they say:

.

Thank you for supporting the second annual Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure, benefiting the hunger-relief programs of Share Our Strength® and the Food Bank For New York City.

.

That’s not so bad. Then:

.

I invite you to join the first Weight Watchers ‘Chefs Lose For Good’ Campaign.  If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I will be the first to sign up and it’s much more fun to lose weight with friends!

.

Wh-wh-what?!? I have to lose weight? What do you mean? What do you want from me?

.

A commitment to losing between 5-10 lbs. through Weight Watchers by October 8th, 2009.

.

You think I’m 5 – 10 pounds overweight? And then the kicker:

.

Your attendance is also requested for a group photo shoot during the Festival weekend – exact details pending.

.

So I’m fat, and you want to take my picture? Is this going to be one of those PE pictures where I have to wear spandex and hold a sign with my BMI on it?
