206

I weight 206 lbs.

Even writing that is painful.

I've spent most of my life, at least the last 20+ years of it neurotically obsessed about my weight. I was always watching what I ate, worrying about what I ate, and thinking about what I ate and what I was going to eat.

Well I finally go over it...in a big way. Like 20 lbs in the last year way.

I used to always wonder how people got fat. I mean how the hell could someone get fat ? Now I know. The key to getting fat is no giving a shit.

I officially don't give a shit.

Up until this morning.

None of my clothes fit, I'm tired all the time, I gots me a nice ole belly, and mainly I just feel like shit. I HAD TO BUT A NEW FRIGGIN BELT.

Starting today I'm losing 10 lbs between now and Thanksgiving and 15 lbs by the end of the year.

Well maybe not starting today, maybe starting after coffee break because one of the secretaries brought in a cake...but then after that I'm on it...probably.

So strap yourselves in. No drinking usually is good for a couple of near-jail freakouts...I suppose not eating should be good for at least one nervous breakdown.

Oh yeah, and the dog is still alive.

Flick,

You make it sound as though you were counting calories and stuff like that. BULL SHIT. You're dieting strategies consisted of things like only eating half of your second footlong cheesesteak or saying to a friend, "Hey, if I eat any more of these pork rinds I want you to punch me in the face!"

Also, and I know it's bad form to point these things out, your typos are more prevalent than usual. I suspect that it's getting hard to type acurately with your sausage-sized fingers.

Bon appetite!

good point on the typos, but it still doesn't account for his incredible inability to spell even the most common words, none of which mr. 2sweet would tolerate in his workplace.

Right on, John...
like my spelling of "acurately" for example.
