[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your mom was using it as code for uptight and controlling.  Which may be a little accurate as a lot of type A people exercise a lot and monitor their food intake.  It’s maybe not what I would look for in a friend but not a bad quality jn a Speaker.  
Also, fwiw, the show Frankie and Grace, there are a lot of jokes about how thin Jane Fonda’s character is and how little she eats, mostly by Lily Tomlin’s kooky aging hippie character who eats (and smokes pot) constantly.  It comes off as a pretty good-natured send-up of the two opposing stereotypes of boomer white women.  (There’s one where Jane fonda’s character gets really drunk and starts eating cake which is pretty funny—she’s lke “Is this what cake tastes like??? Why haven’t I been eating it ALL THE TIME?” Or something like that.)[/quote]
I have often heard staffers and journos describe Pelosi as officious. I definitely think of someone with that personality as very effective yet a pain in the butt. They’re also the type of people most prone to highly monitor food intake. Grace from Grace and Frankie is definitely an example of that. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just a high maintenance and universal high standards energy. That’s the discipline of people who “watch their weight” but it is also what people think of when they think of uptight, high strung people. There’s definitely a correlation. [/quote]
