Well, no wonder. If she could just wait til the bell rang and remove her meal instead of just shoving the whole oven down her throat, she would have lived to a macro age. - petaj, 2007-06-20: 23:22:00

Oddballimia
Created by: karenanne
Pronunciation: od bal EE mee ah
Sentence: Candy can't understand why she can't lose weight. She scrupulously avoids starches after 5:00 pm ("it turns right to fat"). She always carefully counts her daily calories. She eats lots of celery ("it takes more calories to digest it than it has in it, so that's negative calories"). She also eats a lot of spicy foods too ("that revs your metabolism and burns more calories"). Of course, drinks don't really count because they are mostly water; the same goes for soup. And everyone knows that the bites you take while you're cooking, to "taste test" the food, don't count. She does eat whatever is left on her kids' plates, but those calories don't count either because she eats standing up.
Etymology: oddball + bulimia
