That's what got them so fat in the first place.

Now that’s funny;)

This topic could probably be merged with the *Food Stamp Cuts* thread.

You have to wonder how many folks who don’t work, but just shop & eat; have morbid obesity as a result of the generous food stamp program.

My boss stands about 5 foot 8 and last year tipped the scales at 325 lb. In the past ten months he managed to diet himself down to 275. Not bad, that’s fifty pounds gone.

But then this month he had the stomach stapling job; done orthoscopically, everything went OK except that he has lost a pound a day since (260 now) and is physically unable to take in enough to maintain weight. He is all but saying “What have I done!?”

Some of my unfeeling coworkers have dubbed our boss “The Incredible Shrinking Man” and are waiting for his voice to change.

Me, I’ll deploy my `suicide diet’ whenever there’s a PT test or weigh-in or required Army school looming. Lose a pound a day, no cutting necessary.
