From Hippo to Hermit

With a daily dose of "Exercise in a Bottle," you gradually whittle your waistline down to size. Within a month, you have reduced to a healthy weight (healthy for a hippo, that is). You are still intensely embarrassed by your appearance, though, and you almost never come out of your apartment. In short, you become a shut-in.

Thank God for the Internet. With a lot of fast talking (and a few out-and-out lies), you convince your boss to let you telecommute. Everything you need, even food, can be purchased online. You eventually get a handle on every aspect of your life--every aspect, that is, but your girlfriend Wendy.

Wendy doesn't know of your transformation yet, and you don't know how to break it to her. You've been avoiding her for weeks, feeding her one lame excuse after another. Finally, Wendy hands you an ultimatum: either you see each other immediately or she will dump you.

What do you tell her?
