If it makes you feel better, I've been putting weight on lately, too. It seems that every bad food that I can possibly eat, I've been eating. Quarter Pounders from McDonalds. Cheetos (disgusting amounts of Cheetos, actually). Pizza, pop, potato chips with dip ... and I'm estimating that I've already packed on at least ten pounds. My clothes are all tighter, and I can't seem to suck my stomach in far enough for my peace of mind. You're doing better than I am. You've eaten a vegetable in the last week. The only vegetable I've been in close contact with over the last few weeks has been variations on the potato. Fried, mashed, baked ... but mostly fried. Sigh. Let me know when you get those shoes, and we'll work out together. Motivate me!
