Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

All that travel = 2 fast food meals today out of 3.  So which ones were they?

Between Ragu and the Brown family idea of good pizza, I wonder if Keystone Phil's heart can take it.

This may will be a day mixed with job searching and naps.  For some reason, I am feeling quite nauseous this morning.  While walking into the dentist office yesterday, I had to walk through the medical wing where I see my regular doctor.  Of course, since the flu is widespread and particularly nasty this year there were people violently giving up their lungs and even though I walked as fast as I could, I'm wondering if I caught a flying bug.  This could be an interesting day.

Bushie, are you still choosing to let the scale do the talking?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

You left out the best part, King:

I'll get back on the challenge tomorrow.  I did nothing wrong at dinner.  I don't feel bad at all.  Plus, King, it's Friday.  It's no fun to eat healthy on weekends.  I wanted to enjoy my Friday supper with what I wanted to eat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  If you don't like it, then shut up and let me live my life.  I am still following the challenges you set forth.  Yes, I had a slip up tonight, but I have not completely blown it.  Just do not mock me.  I have done NOTHING worthy of mocking.  If you mock me, you're the idiot, not me.

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.

Atkins?

With a few exceptions his Facebook friends are fucked up.

Not to sound like an apologist but is it really possible to eat just one hot dog?

No. I'm good for at least 4. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I don't get why anybody would eat hotdogs. Brats are the same idea but way better.

Renounce your citizenship.

Renounce your citizenship.

I'm a Cheesehead by birth, so of course I agree that brats are better.  Should the entire state of Wisconsin renounce its citizenship?

No one would notice or care.  You guys would be great Canads.

Bushie, if you still had your contract job, how many days this week would you have missed?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Taking a sip of water right before bed is too strenuous.

The sad fact is that I likely drank more water before and after brushing my teeth this morning than Our Dear Friend will have in three days.

What I really could use is a Brita water pitcher.  Water straight from the tap here is not very good and has a strange after taste.  I think a water pitcher would filter out all the chemicals or minerals in the water and make the water more drinkable and more enjoyable.  I did knock back 16 oz. though.

As far as the Sprite, De-carbonated Sprite is an odd home-remedy for nausea, but it works.  Ginger ale and 7-Up are also good.  All three are much better than dark pop.

A one gallon jug of spring water is about a $1. at Walmart.  Buy some.

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.  

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Getting a call immediately is not a good sign. It means your "job" is actually a scam.

Wow. Bushie never learns.

Yep.  Another people mill.  RIP.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Now, guys, you can't automatically dismiss it as a scam because they called me within an hour.

Saving for later.  Thanks.

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.

Well the other Andrew is melting away. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

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.

Allison seems very active on social media today. Jeff, what did you do now?

After 2 crushing, heartbreaking times being unceremoniously dumped by Our Dear Friend, I'm just glad she's alive and well.  That heartless bastard probably did do something to her again. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Holy sh**t, Bushie, have you seen Allison's fb page?  What did you do?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

What's the news on Allison's facial?

Post after post about being broken hearted, men are scum (translation of what she posted), etc.......her wounds from Our Dear Friend's knife to the heart haven't healed.

(Oh and her fb is public, Bushie, so no bullsh**t from you about bringing stuff here)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Holy sh**t, Bushie, have you seen Allison's fb page?  What did you do?

I just looked at her page.  The only thing I've done is I haven't talked to her in a while except for a Happy New Year text.  I've moved on from her, though.  I know it may not be as easy for her to move on, but I've got my eyes on Kenya in a few years and it's better to get there if I'm single.

You cant adopt your kids as a single man

All things considered with as little as I've eaten this week, this may be what I need to start getting serious about my weight.  I don't feel like junking my system up day after day, meal after meal.  I anticipate being down around 283-284 by morning.  I could probably get down into the 270's by my doctor's appointment in late March.  It's supposed to be beautiful this weekend, so I am going to get out and walk for 15-20 minutes each day this weekend.  I'm not going to pig out this weekend as I'll still be careful with what and how much I put into my stomach.  I'll take it day by day, but I don't need to pig out.

Reported for trolling.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

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 much 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.

You'd lose 90% of  your ailments, never miss work, and reduce your chances of getting diabetes by half or more.  Yes, you're an IDIOT if you don't believe that.  Enjoy being fat and sick and in pain all the time in your legs and back.

Everybody should have a cheat meal every now and then.

Now and then is Friday (unless you're off Friday, then it's Thursday, Friday) Saturday, Sunday according to Bushie Family Doctrine.

I am a man on a mission to healthier living.

Don't sing it, bring it.

You have some big shoes to follow of previous forum fats, who truly changed their lives - Patrick, Torie, Mr. Moderate, and Big Daddy TX and others I'm sure.   (If I missed anyone sorry, I did that off the top of my head and you all deserve to be congratulated.)

I look forward to joining the ranks of the previous heavyweights.

Go back and read what each wrote........it's very telling, and strikingly similar.
