Can a curmudgeon lose their grumpiness when they shed pounds as they diet?

Question

Or do they just lose faith and go with their gut?

Answer 1

Monitor's right. A grump on a diet is a statistical immpossibility.
1: Grumps reason (correctly, I might add) that we're all gonna die anyway, so what's the friggin' point.
2: Losing weight might make them more attractive to the opposite sex, thereby forcing them to interact with even more nitwits.
3: Like a grump cares what you think of him or his body anyway.

Answer 2

A curmudgeon on a diet? Isn't that a wonder of the world or an oxymoron of some type? I think they just go with their gut, skip the diet and head for the nearest Waffle House.

Answer 3

(stumbles in) Is this curmudgeons anonamous ? That's a nice buffet are those crab legs ? Nevermind me I'm just here stalking Jenny McCarthy. Has anyone seen her ? I answer all her questions no matter how many puns she uses. What's the topic Curmudgeons ? Imagine that on a diet ? Are you gonna eat that mushroom ? I'll just listen thanks. What I don't get about this if curmudgeons are so grumpy how do you tolerate eachother in the same answer ?

Answer 4

Only if it is a good diet. No pain, no gain is about exercise not diet. A good diet should make you feel happier and healthier. Your body rewards you with endorphines for eating properly. If you feel sick and grumpy, you probably aren't on a healthy diet.

Proof: I lost 40 lbs this year, and felt less grumpy (and downright happy) from the 2nd day on, just ask my husband. You didn't ask how to find a good diet, so I won't lecture on that.

Answer 5

HELL NO! (A) Grumpiness is free and weighs nothing on my diet and (B) just because someone is grumpy doesn't mean they lose faith - hell, they might be grumpy BECAUSE of their faith - and then go with their gut.

Me? I'm grumpy about all that damn high fructose corn syrup that doesn't need to be in our food! That's why I'm on this diet - those rat bastard American food scientists have conspired with the food industry to make me fat and crave their cheap-*** processed carbohydrates! I'll show you bastards! I'll eat organic!! I'm going to be lean AND mean!!

Answer 6

It's hard to say, as they may have become a curmudgeon, then gained weight, or vice versa. I have also known people who acted in a curmudgeonly fashion that were thin, so it depends on what is going on in their heads. If it is purely a self-image issue, and they have decided to loose weight, then it is likely their mood will improve. If it is something else, then they are not likely to make the effort anyway.

Answer 7

As a fully-fledged grumpy sod, I can give you a categorical assurance that the more pounds you lose, the less space there is to contain all your grumpiness, so it in fact becomes more compacted and dense within your system - result? A more intense grumpiness per square pound.

Answer 8

A true curmudgeon might lose some of their grumpiness, but it's
just gonna be something else that makes them grumpy.

Answer 9

No, just being on a diet would make anyone (even your standard curmudgeon) grumpy...

Answer 10

They never lose their grumpiness that would be like you and I losing our smile.
And they never had faith to lose.
Why would a grump diet? It's never going to work.

Answer 11

It has been my experience that when I diet, I get MORE curmudgeonly, rather than less. Prefer not to have either faith or gut, but if I have to have one or the other...I prefer gut.
