Update Season X - "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Vol. I."

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Well, let's start the thread off right... what is your starting weight for this Season (or rather, what was it this morning)?  And how is Blondie?  When did you last walk her?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Do you like to put fish sticks in your mouth?

They weren't the best, but when you're a little short on time, you'll take whatever is closest and most convenient.

You sit around and watch TV for hours at a time.  Hobos have a more rigorous daily schedule than you do...  That excuse is so frakking lame, dude... no wonder you're morbidly obese... you can't even put enough effort into making up good excuses, let alone cooking or getting off your fat butt and exercising.

I'm not worried. You'd actually need to find a job, first.

I have a question... if Bushie designed a building and then worked in that building, but someone stole his stapler, would his desire to burn down the building force him to destroy the building he designed, or would his extreme urge to burn down the building override his love for the piece of architecture that he designed?

You know, I'm guessing that as a child, Bushie saw a leprechaun that told him to burn things on a rock, but his parents probably didn't let him go into the deep end of the sandbox.

So, while I watch TV, I've got to call Grandma every now and then as well as feed JJ, keep her water fresh, and clean up her stools.

1) How much TV do you plan to watch this weekend?
2) Have you considered cutting back on the TV watching at all?

1) 5 hours on Thursday + 12 hours on Friday + 16 hours on Saturday + 15 hours on Sunday + 4 hours Monday for a grand total of 52 hours.  All football related, both college and pro.
2) The obvious answer, as you can see, is no.  I do not feel bad about it, either.

You're going to spend 67% of a day watching TV!?!?!?  54% of your time in the span of 4 days?!?!?!  Goodness... I wish I had that much free time.  Why don't you, I don't know... GO GET A JOB!  Clearly a part-time job wouldn't interfere with your schooling if you have that much frakking free time.  I mean... you could even walk in place while watching all that TV, and at least you'd be getting some exercise.

How does somebody watch 15 hours worth of TV in a single day? Scary. Please cease using your bogus "I was in a pinch/I was in a rush" excuses from now on. Thanks.

I use that because there are nights that I have things to do that cut down the TV time to an hour or 90 minutes which was the case the past two nights.  Believe it or not, I am a busy man.  My Saturdays are generally clear, but the rest of the week, I am quite busy at times.  Other times, I am free and clear.

Sorry, but that's a load of bull.  If you have 60-90 minutes to watch TV, you have enough time to make dinner.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

BUSHIE, GET A TREADMILL. And make lunch/dinner during the commercials.

I was going to say that, but a treadmill in a trailer probably would be a bit cramped.  Hence my suggestion to simply walk in place.

I will probably walk in place this weekend.  I need to, because I went way overboard with my calories today.  Today was not a good day in the calorie department.  I will undoubtedly gain a bit in the morning unless I can have some REALLY productive dumps which I don't foresee happening.  I've got to get back on track tomorrow...  I probably had two days worth of calories just today.

You SHOULD do that this weekend, but I fully expect you to come up with some lame, lazy excuse.  I doubt that you'll walk in place this weekend.  What was your calorie count today

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Occasionally I feel that urge, but then I squash it.

Why?

The man's back on his way to 300 pounds! Other than maybe metal, there isn't much that he wouldn't squash.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Oh no! That grilled hamburger must have turned into grilled hamburger(s) + twinkies!

No twinkies, but my lunch is what did me in.  I succumbed to the Burger King temptation.

I did have plural grilled hamburgers - 3 in total plus grilled corn on the cob.

3 burgers + corn for dinner, and what at burger king?

Double Whopper with Cheese, Large Fries, and *GULP* Large Regular Dr Pepper (with a full refill)...

Oh, Bushie. Your lack of self control strikes again!

My exact thought at dinner was "I've already blown this day out of the water, might as well live it up today and get back to it tomorrow."

That's the spirit!  Just think if you did that with everything in your life.  "Meh, I already blew one stop sign, might as well just run 'em all."  "Already skipped one day of CAD this week, might as well skip them all."  That latter one is probably not far from the truth.

Bad day at the office?

No, actually I had a really great day.  I had a great day because I've been working hard, and things are really coming together.  You could have a decently successful life too if you actually put in an ounce of effort (and no, CAD is not effort... I'm guessing the high schoolers are doing just as good, if not better than you; what you're doing is probably pretty easy).

Occasionally I feel that urge, but then I squash it.

Why?

The man's back on his way to 300 pounds! Other than maybe metal, there isn't much that he wouldn't squash.

I had ONE bad day and I'm already back on my way to 300?  I've done well the past few days, am I not allowed a bad day?  I lost count of my calories today.  Still, one bad day doesn't mean I'm back on my way to 300.

What was your weight today?  You may not be back on your way to 300 now, but come on, man... you're getting older and your metabolism will keep slowing down.  It's pretty clear you're not going to ever change your diet.  You're fat and you don't care that you're going to die by the age of 60 (probably before).  That's fine, but don't pretend that you're actually trying to get healthy.

You didn't lose count of your calories; you knew damn well when you had BK that you had blown your day, yet you continued to eat more.  You purposefully stopped counting.  Don't play it off as simply a mistake of losing count; you deliberately decided not to count.

And let's take a look at what you actually ate IN ONE MEAL (percentages for daily value are based on a 2,000 diet; I was going to convert them to 2,500, but I couldn't remember if that was your goal or if it was somewhere in the middle):

Calories 1745 87%
Protein 49g 98%
Carbohydrates 231g 77%
Sugar 114g
Fat 76g 117%
Saturated Fat 23g 115%
Trans Fat 1g
Cholesterol 130mg 43%
Sodium 2060mg 86%

EDIT: This assumes 1 piece of cheese; if you had 2, it would be more, but I don't care that much to recalculate it all.

Guys, I had ONE bad day. ONE. Why are people thinking its now a habit?  Isn't everybody allowed to have a bad day?  Nobody is mentioning that I've been keeping my calories under 2,000 for a week or 10 days before.  They all want to rail on me for having one bad day and say that i'm hopeless.  I am not hopeless and am nowhere near hopeless.  I am nowhere near a diabetic and I am doing what I need to keep it that way.  One bad day does not diagnose with diabetes.  Mom and Dad are changing the way they eat.  I have said that countless times and yet everybody is still insulting them.  I don't know what gives.

You're morbidly obese; of course it's a habbit.  People don't just get morbidly obese from occasional bad days.  You have a habbit of overeating.  How else do you think you got to this point?  When is your next dietician appointment?

As far as the last three weeks go, it is not a habit.  It used to be a habit, yes, but its not anymore.  I have been losing weight over the past two to three weeks and have already lost nearly all of the two pounds I gained yesterday morning.  I'm down to 260.4.  I was at 261.8 yesterday morning.  I'm fine, Inks.  Nobody believes that and keeps yelling at me for that, but I'm fine.  I know what I need to do and I'm doing it.  I'm not perfect at it, and I do mess up, but I am doing a lot better now than I have been doing.

You're not fine.  You're morbidly obese.  You are seeing negative health effects as a result of your weight.  That is not fine.  You've plateaued at 260.  Sure, you may go a pound or two above or below it, but you're not losing weight anymore.  260 is still morbidly obese at your height.

Why ate you measuring your weight loss in decimals, or even pounds? Weights that specific can easily shift within hours & are probably not indicative if anything important.

The scale reads in two-tenths increments.  I've already told everyone when I weigh, so I don't need to share that again.  I weigh at the most accurate time of the day.

All times are accurate.  It's not less accurate to weigh yourself at night.  The scale is still the scale.  Now if you're talking about factoring in an empty stomach, that's what's different, but I'd hardly say that Bushie on an empty stomach is the "norm" to be your standard.

I'm not purposefully ignoring it, I'm just preoccupied right now watching the Oregon vs. Virginia game.

Translation: "I'm too busy to Internet because I'm watching TV."

Okay, but is there a purpose in hounding EVERY SINGLE NIGHT about it?

The point is, I weigh at the same time and in the same condition every morning.  Empty stomach, just after a BM, in same pajamas.  I've already told everyone when I weigh, so I don't know why you were questioning that again.  Oh well.

1. When you eat garbage every single night, yeah, there is a point to discussing it.  When you eat healthy, I'll commend you.
2. I'm not questioning anything.
3. It's just funny that you're so lazy that you can't even focus on the Internet because you're too focused on TV.

Is "BM" a Bushieisim? Or do other Americans call poops "BMs"?

BM = Bowel Movement.

I know that.  Re-read my question:

My question was NOT what BM stands for.

Americans who do not care to use dirty language use BM.

So you can steal money from your parents to buy porn, but saying 'sh**t' crosses your moral line?

bushie what did you eat at the potluck?  and why dont you enjoy potlucks?

I usually don't find dishes I like.  This one was a different story.  I was very impressed to say the least.

Here is what I had this afternoon: (Portions approximate)

3 oz of Pot Roast and Potatoes
1/2 c of Taco Salad
1/4 c of Corn
1 generous scoop of a doritos/chicken/rotelle combination.  I don't know what it was called, but it was delish.  Rotelle in case you don't know is a cheese sauce similar to Chile Con Queso.
2 servings of banana pudding cake.
1/2 of a hot roll.

I like how he gave real portions for the first half and then transitioned into measurements of "1 generous scoop" and "2 servings".

And isn't rotelle wagon wheel pasta?

Wow an entire potluck full of free food and Bushie couldn't manage to put a single vegetable on his plate.

Of course not.

Oh goody - I was right about the rotelle.  Why are you smiling at the fact that you ate no vegetables?  Do you enjoy your health problems?

Oh what a wonderful business meeting!  That sounds strange to say, but it's true!  We have a tentative offer on the church and are moving forward with the appraisal and repair estimates.  We hope to have this sold by late October or early November.  Best of all, it is another church wanting to buy it.  I am meeting up at the church at 2100 tonight to go through the church documents and get them out of view of the repair estimate party which should start either tomorrow or Tuesday.  Since I am the church clerk, when I am told, I will take the documents to the Baptist Building in NW Oklahoma City for the Capital Baptist Association to store our documents.

Do you have voting rights at these business meetings?

Something about a morbidly obese man who continues to kill himself with food and who steals money from his parents to pay for his porn addiction at the same time that he can't hold down a job or have any sort of self-responsibility having voting rights in a business meeting just seems ... what's the word ... STUPID!

Anymore insults you want to throw out while you're at it?
[/quote]

I'm being serious... the fact that you have a vote in any organization's business meeting is absolutely astounding to me.  Part of it is probably because your church doesn't know who the real Bushie is.  You're way more open with the forum than you are with everyone else.  To everyone else, you probably just appear to be a morbidly obese man who continues to kill himself with food (and maybe not even the latter part if people don't know how truly messed up your diet is).  But given your history, do you really think it's wise that you should have a say in the business and financial matters of a church?  Jeff, you can't pay a single one of your own bills... not a penny, and not because of some financial disaster or unforeseen hardship, but because you are irresponsible.  Yes, God forgives and being in church is ultimately good for you, but given your history, how do you think you can bring anything beneficial to the table (and that's a best case scenario... the worst case is that you're bringing your bad ideas to the table).

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Jeff, you said, "The fact is, we all deal with issues in our personal life that if we take your advice, nobody would be able to vote."  If that's true, then it's no wonder your church had to merge with another one.  If all of your church's voting members have the financial knowledge and theories that you do, it's no wonder it didn't survive.  I'm not saying that anybody with problems shouldn't vote; I'm saying that your problems are so severe (and in the realm of finance) that it's a bad idea.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As an aside, I am down to 258.4 as of this morning, the lowest I've been in quite a while.  It's not much, but if I can just keep from these bad days, I'll be headed south.

Bull. Inks.

We criticize you for being flatlined at 260 and suddenly you drop to 258 after a 4 day binge of sitting on your butt watching football and potlucking?

Yeah, but it'll catch up to him eventually if he is fudging the numbers.  Either he knows he has to stop at some point (and he'll plateau at 255 or 250), or he'll post more pictures and we'll all notice that he looks the same or heavier, and he'll admit his lies.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

And how long were you a life insurance agent for?  What company?  Why did you leave that job?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Bushie how many heart attacks have you had?

Officially none.  What I think may have been heart attacks, two.

Can we just stop to appreciate the fact that someone in his early 30s thinks he's had two heart attacks and says that nonchalantly.

Yeah, but considering his past medical scares, I think he overthinks stuff.  Granted, his heart's not great, but I doubt he had two heart attacks.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I was good at selling policies, but I only could sell 3.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Can I ask what you're paying for the life insurance?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Can I ask what you're paying for the life insurance?

$51 per month.

And who is the beneficiary?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Wow, Bushie has a $200,000 life insurance policy?? Suddenly all his parents' actions make so much more sense. The poor bastard.

This simply means that not only is Bushie a terrible seller of insurance policies, but he's a terrible buyer of them as well.

Yeah, >$600/year for a $200,000 policy is not that great.  Jeff, what's the term on this policy?
