C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for July 17, 2009

It’s the battle of will power vs. temptation. When the bell rings come out fighting.

RING!

Can’t wait to see Donna’s next move!

This is going to be good! –Or, Donna will surrender faster than the French [sorry for the jab–just a cheap joke–, but the premise of this strip was begging for it]!

…waist not/want not….

Donna’s plan is to take Mona bikini shopping.

Thanks doctortoon. I will take over now.

Typical female. Thinks that since SHE’S on a diet, everyone AROUND HER should be on a diet as well…

I almost was stupid enough to buy my wife a diet book today

I actually BOUGHT my girlfriend a copy of “Your Big Fat Boyfriend: How to Stay Thin When Dating a Diet Disaster.” It actually went over well, since the “joke” is mostly on myself.

But I told her at the outset that I DO eat badly, I LIKE eating badly, and I’m NOT going to stop eating as I please just because SHE wants to lose weight. Unlike Mona, though, I don’t taunt her with foods she’s trying to avoid. I just eat ‘em when she’s not around.

If Donna really wanted to watch her waistline, she should hit the weight room. Then she could eat anything she wanted.
