I've never been overweight, ever, but after visiting my doctor that day and seeing this <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/bk_store/images/photo_object/photos/5/3/5361934/0804091000-feed.jpg" rel="nofollow">"chronic problem,"</a> it pretty much did it for me. Tuesday evening was the start of a weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri) bike ride around Prospect Park. I’ve never been overweight, ever, but after visiting my doctor that day and seeing this “chronic problem,” it pretty much did it for me.

It's just not useful. \o/). Coming from the standpoint of someone that grew up "skinny" until somewhere in High School, the ability to gain weight is a blessing, because it takes weight to push weight. You can work out all you want if you're not gaining, and you get "cut", but you don't really look any different. What I found out when I was really heavy into lifting is that it's never enough. Not for me. The best I can really hope for is to have the energy and aggression to feel like hitting the gym and attacking the weights. It's not so much about calories as it's about my physical condition driving my mental state. This time, I really get it, though... Not emotionally, but mentally. I get it. I'm not doing myself any favors by being heavier. If I naturally become heavier from lifting, fine. Other than that, I'm resigned to my current condition... which the ladies love anyway, so who really cares what *I* think? ;) Yes, I’m hateable, for sure! :D

Comparing my ability to shed 3 pounds after a week of liquid dieting and regaining 6lbs at the mere scent of a beer and pizza slice to your "struggle" to put on 4lbs over a weeks time and lose that in mere hours... I think i found how to perfectly convey my feelings... Dude, i f*cking hate you!!!!!! Yeah that did it!
