The Parable of the Fat Kid.
Once upon a time... there was a kid.
A kid who loved to eat.
Not unlike many kids, really.
But this kid was different.
He didn't just enjoy the occasional cookie or bowl of ice-cream.
Or burger and fries.
No, he lived for food.
And when he wasn't eating... he was thinking about eating.
The Fat Blogger.
Ladies and gentleman of the jury, it is my contention that the blogoshpere is in fact a dangerous place to live.
Bad for one's physical health.
Nice place to visit... but not to inhabit.
My daily energy expenditure is now somewhere behind that of the dugong and the hibernating bear.
The Mythical 'Slim Zone'
Over the years I have taken thousands of 'before' photos of people (front, side and rear) before they start their weight-loss/fitness endeavour.
Invariably they are stunned when they see the pictures.
Why are they so shocked?
Because when it comes to their body, they live in some alternative reality;
The Slim Zone.
The one where they look forty pounds lighter.
Pringles for Breakfast.
Why does someone who weighs one forty kgs (300lbs) and is just over five foot tall choose a can of Pringles and a coke for breakfast?
Ho, Ho, Ho into those Christmas Calories.
How dare I suggest that we include some healthier options on our Christmas menu and that maybe we don't continue eating until we explode. What am I thinking? Apparently, the point of Christmas is food. You know that whole 'three wise men, the manger, Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus' thing? Well, turns out that the real meaning of Christmas is to see how much pleasure we can give ourselves via an inordinate amount of calories. Who'da thought?
