Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Ever since I got on my new diet, all my health problems have vanished. The occasional headaches and stomach pains are gone. Take me as a testament to what you need to do to change your life.

OMG me too! It's been better since I went Atkins/south beach. I feel amazing and losin a lot of weight

I almost didn't recognize you on your last FB pick.  Damn man, you're living the life.  

I don't know what diet I'm on, but I haven't had bread, rice, pizza, pasta, dessert or anything since New Years. I eat tons of meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds. I've lost 10 pounds and I feel great, but I didn't really need to lose tons of weight anyway, so I don't know how long I'll stick with this. I do feel better than I ever have in years though.

Sounds like Keto.

Maybe, but I still eat dairy, drink milk and use olive oil, because what Greek doesn't. I think on keto you literally use bacon fat for everything, but I could be wrong.

And Grumps, if I lost a ton more weight I'd probably be underweight, and I don't want that.

I hear ya.  I'm on the same diet.......amazing, though like Big Andrew, I've got plenty to lose. 

I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel so good on a diet. I do miss pizza a lot, but I'll be able to eat it again someday. And bunless sandwiches aren't that bad either.

It's awesome how cold hearted Bushie is!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I think Bushie was never really into her and only wanted to have someone to call his future wife like a good Christian man that he is. Deep down though, he wasn't attracted to her because she was as big as he was, and he probably thinks he's entitled to a girl who's a size 2 or smaller.

She knew this and confronted him about it. I doubt Bushie ever was affectionate towards her and probably had to be forced to kiss her. He probably was really cold and distant towards her and then they broke it off.

As we all know, he was proclaiming publicly that she was his future wife minutes before the breakup.

You feel like garbage because you keep eating crap, Bushie. Don't you understand? I can't imagine treating a stomach bug with a McDonald's burger full of all kinds of preservatives.

If you want to feel better, look better, and get over your ailments, you know what you have to do. You just don't want to do it.

I refuse to believe my weight had anything to do with the stomach bug.  It's been going around.  It was just my turn to catch it.  My weight doesn't affect EVERYTHING.  You all act like if I lost 150 lbs, I would never be ill or have any more problems.  I know I need to lose weight and I am not refusing to do it.  I just don't believe it's the cure to end all ailments.

I'm not saying you would avoid all illnesses, but you have a lot of stomach issues, and I did too prior to cleaning up my diet.

All I am saying is, I'd love nothing more than to see you get serious about cleaning up your diet, and I think you'd be shocked at how much better you'd feel. But you don't seem to want to do that, you just keep getting sick.

And yes, MOST of your problems stem from the fact that youre morbidly obese. You can call me an enemy if you want, but I am always honest with my friends and want what's best for them, even if it isn't easy for them to do or admit.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Yeah, you can't blame us all for not believing you. We've heard this little song and dance now for years and you're up 25 pounds in that time period to the heaviest you've ever been.

I'm willing to help you on this journey because I have really enjoyed my new diet and feel great even though I am far from overweight, and I believe it can help you too, but you have to have self control and be motivated, both of which you seem to lack.

So I won't be a believer until I see results, and by results I mean concrete ones, not you trying to drive slowly to cheat a walking app or having cheat meals every few days because weekends aren't for dieting.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Cheerios aren't heart healthy. They're full of carbs and processed sugars. No cereal is healthy honestly.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

No more potatoes after today if you can manage it. They're just empty calories and nothing but starch.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

None of this stuff should be part of his diet plan, but then again, we know this diet will go nowhere so...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

You can get a FitBit or just carry your phone. The iPhones all have one built in and you can see how many steps you take each day with your phone on you. It's under the health app.

Update has quite a few elements of groundhog day mixed in.

Except, Bushie, you are not good at sales, you never have been, and it is bewildering to me how you feel falling back into this trap over and over again.

I get it, you need cash, and sales jobs hire you because they're turn and burn operations. But we all know you are weak at that kind of job. You don't have the personality to do it and you have failed at each and every sales job you'd had. That's OK. I wouldn't succeed either, but I also haven't tried to go into sales.

When those of us are telling you not to do it, it's not because we want to see you fail. It's because we want to see you succeed more than you want to see yourself succeed. You and I both know how this will end. But you're too prideful to admit it to yourself. Pride will always be one of your downfalls.
