Sounds like a plan
Little Miss Attila has deemed herself insufficiently little, and is taking the appropriate actions:
1) Lecture everyone around me about their eating choices.
2) Make sure no one is looking when I consume empty calories.
3) Lobby for legislation that will force fast-food restaurants to state calorie counts for food right on the menus.
4) Check on those menus to ensure compliance.
5) Super-size everything I order while I’m there.
For some reason, this reminds me of David Letterman’s infamous cholesterol test, on which he scored somewhere in the Forbidden Zone above 250. He responded the next night with a Top Ten list, of which Number One was this: “Use my wealth and power to pressure the A.M.A. to dangerously lower their standards.”
Letterman needn’t have exerted himself, though: had he waited long enough, the government would start lowering as many standards as possible in the holy name of cost control.
Unfortunately for LMA, the government probably won’t regulate jean sizes, and I don’t feel comfortable urging her to wear more skirts instead.

#1 is also a good way to get rid of those pesky friends and family members who are always hanging around.
