OP “…We must BAND TOGETHER”
A rather unfortunate choice of language when there’s a whole thread on the stomach gastric band…
Anyways, let me tell you a story. A friend of mine AND HIS WIFE decided they both needed to diet. They were very good for a while, being careful whatever they ate, so on the next Rosh Chodesh his wife said why dont we go to a grocery store and get ourselves a small something as a treat. So off they went and the wife picked out something new. The husband said “oh no, thats not very tasty. Try something else”. So she chose a different nosh and the husband said “oh I dont think thats good either”. “Wait a minute” said his wife suddenely, “how do you know these are not good???”
Yes you guessed it – the husband on his way to and from kollel had been sneaking in and buying things…
SO YOU CANT BLAME THE WOMEN FOR EVERYTHING!!!
