And here I thought when people stared at me in my speedo it was because I was soooooo sexy! LOL

On the serious side, I think there is a bit more to the “obesity epidemic” than lazy gluttony. A lot of the products we use and food we eat contains hormones and hormone analogues that are doing seriously weird stuff to our systems. And good healthy food is not cheap … it should be, perhaps even if we have to tax “junk” food to subsidize “good eats.”

But on the whole, yeah. No one made me fat. Unfortunately I like bad food, I have an “efficient” metabolism, and I like sedentary pursuits like reading. I really would have to think seriously before I took a desk job because I know that if I didn’t have fairly physical jobs over the last 17 years instead of 250lbs I would be one of those guys on TV being taken out of their house on a forklift.

Its one of the reasons why I look at a pedestrian, non car based lifestyle. I will NEVER be a jogger, and exercise simply for the sake of exercise I find painfully boring. But I am quite willing to walk if I am going someplace.

Oh well, in a couple of weeks I will arrive to confound Kelly more with steaks and junk food in one hand, and dragging him out from behind the computer desk in the other.

My main consolation is that now he’s 190 we will look less like a broomstick and a weather ballon 😉
