Me Fat

Don't let the title confuse anybody. This is not a Chinese name I am writing about, it is a condition.

As I keep mentioning it I am self sustained. I have nobody coming to to my place to keep things going. Well, I am an adult and should be able to take care of myself. I clean, sometimes make my own dinner (not too frequently, very thankfully) and do my own laundry.

And that is where the puzzle is. I do know what detergents and how much to use and that's why I was puzzled for a while.

Lately I noticed that some of my thing that I wash in the washing machine are a little too tight. And that made me wonder what makes my "stuff" shrink.

Eureka! I found the answer to this overwhelming mystery.

My underclothing are not shrinking, I am gaining weight!

I basically eat like a small horse. My friend's cooking is so great that I just love every bite of it. Plus we eat out at least once a week. Plus I occasionally treat myself to some junk-food lunch and once in a while I buy something in the supermarket that I shouldn't but it is soooo good.

Take this weekend for instance.

Friday night I had dinner (and a great one!) at my friend's house. Saturday we went out, six of us, to a very lovely Czech restaurant where unfortunately the food is great and the beer is even better. Let me tell you, I didn't go home hungry. Can't wait to go back again because there are still things on the menu I would love to try.

Today, Sunday, we went to a Czech/Hungarian restaurant for brunch where again the food was good and also the beer. Honestly, yesterday's food was better by far!

But tonight I will have to eat something because the brunch just wasn't enough. Probably will make sandwich with some cold cuts and cheese which I have plenty in the fridge.

There is nothing planned for tomorrow, Monday. Probably will go to the gym to ease my conscience.

But we are planning a trip to a nearby casino that has a very nice buffet. Now, when one is in a buffet it is very difficult to resist any kind of temptations. And I have been there before. It is a very nice buffet!

So here is the problem. It is so easy to put on the pounds and it takes forever to get them off.

Friends that I meet feed me and I love them for that. I also love what they feed me with. But I will have to be very strong when I am alone not to stuff me unnecessary and calorie rich foods.

If nothing works, I will ask my doctor to prescribe that liquid people drink before a colonoscopy. The last time I drank it it cleaned me out so well I lost five pounds.

Drastic situations require drastic measures.
