You took the words right out of my mouth. When I saw the title, I
thought that it was about losing some weight, instead it was about
adapting to obesity. I didn't respond because I didn't care to hear
the denial and other excuses. I find it sad when people refer to
themselves as "Fatty" ot "fat-boy". Living as a fat person cannot be a
good experience and with a little will power it can be changed.

A nice suggestion, and something I had committed myself to doing until I
sustained a knee injury about a year ago (one of the reasons I stopped going
to the gym, and one of the reasons I stopped playing golf regularly). Just
recently have I felt like it's no longer an issue.

But whatever I do in that regard isn't going to have an immediate affect on
my body shape, and hence, my golf swing right away. It will pay dividends
in the long run, but it will take months before any meaningful change will
become apparent (and then I'll have to learn a whole new golf swing).

But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

"People on earth" take your advice? Do you have an infomercial? How
can we learn more? Can I buy a DVD?

I'm waiting for your wisdom to float into every corner of the globe.

I'm imperfect in countless ways, and know enough about the world to
know that anyone who thinks their advice is going to help someone
else, has serious delusions.

I guess then that attorneys, doctors, teachers and especially
preachers, should all seek psychological help.

Wait!

They would be seeking advice from someone delusional.
