Week 4 Prompt 13: If these fat cells could talk

Wow!  They are everywhere!  I can't get away from them!  I go to the gym and I run, and run, and run!  I still can't get away!  They follow me, sleep with me, eat with me, hell, they are part of me!  If only they could talk.  I would ask them, what is it that you want from me?

Tell me your secrets, how do I get rid of you?  I exercise, I eat a very healthy diet.  Why do you haunt me?  Can't you find somewhere else to go?  Can't we just compromise?  I know your there, I know you don't just go away.  I understand that sometimes your full and sometimes, not so much.  I know you can duplicate yourself.  I, truthfully, can't take it anymore!  At times, you don't bother me, others you drive me nuts!  I know we have a symbiotic relationship.  As much as I wish you were gone, I know I need some of you for protection.  But come on, enough is enough!

"Can you tell me, how can we both reside in this body and be in agreeance?  How can we both get what we need and be happy?  Truthfully, I'm pretty tired of you hanging around all the time!  If just half of you would go on a permanent vacation, I would be ecstatic!"

In unison, they respond, "we like to hang around, you fulfill us.  You keep us well-rounded."  (That's an understatement!)

Okay, so yeah, they're happy and I'm still hanging around 29-30% of those little bastards!  Co-dependent shits!  If they could talk, they would carry on and on and on about how they need me, they have to go everywhere with me, how they adore me, and how they can't live without me!

Ugh!  I wish they would just see it my way and deflate or something!  For now, until I can convince them otherwise, I guess I will have to put up with them, and keep doing what I do.  I don't like it, but I guess that's just how it goes, sometimes.
