A surgeon in New Zealand has received a dressing down for swearing at a severely obese patient.

The New Zealand Herald newspaper reports the doctor said "f..." at least three times after the 44-year-old obese woman told him she did not like the word "diet" and preferred the term "lifestyle".

The doctor told his patient she was "going on a f...ing diet".

The woman was on a waiting list for gastric bypass surgery.

After she complained about his swearing, she received a letter from the surgeon saying they no longer had a "therapeutic relationship" and her name had been removed from his waiting list.

7. For a moment, I thought there was actually a "Fucking Diet"...

... and I cried a little over the realization that I've been fasting for WAY too long.

21. FYI.

One hour of vigorous sex burns 300 calories...so if you spent most of Saturday in bed with someone special, you could eat an entire med. cheese pizza on Friday and still break even.

This is the secret magic of the "fucking diet". I think humanity would be better off if it caught on.
