Something's Not Right Here
I spent time with good friends Ken and Andrew this past weekend. I was surprised to see that Andrew had shed some 30 lbs. since the last time we saw each other. He attributed his weight loss to the Atkins Diet, and the amazing thing is that Andrew was never overweight to begin with, so the lack of meat on his bones was immediately noticeable.
Ken, on the other hand, wears size 28 waist jeans. I haven't worn size 28 jeans since ... since ... shit, I'm having a senior moment and can't remember. Ken has always been thin, he'll continue to be thin, and that's that. Andrew, for as long as I've known him, always had more meat on his bones than I did. To say I felt like a fat slob while walking between the two of them is an understatement. It was a sandwich of crackers with a heaping pile of pastrami in the middle.
When your male friends are suddenly smaller than you are, it's time to do something about it. Starve yourself. Sew your mouth shut. Walk the entire island of Manhattan every day. Empty the refrigerator! Padlock the fridge! Empty the cupboards! Diet and exercise, diet and exercise, diet and exercise.
After reading this to Ken yesterday, he said I inflated things quite a bit. Uh huh. Yeah, okay. Everyone looks inflated next to you, dear :-)

If you do that, do it because *you* want to. You'd be surprised by how many guys aren't enthralled with the anorexic waif look.

Yeah, my brother is 130 lbs. And he's 6' tall. I am the shorter, fatter brother at 5'7 and 190.
