It must be a scientific fact
Jun 15th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
News alert! I am taking a break from my regular blogging to present this vital piece of information. I have scientifically determined that 20 pounds is the amount of weight one must lose before others begin noticing. How did I discover this startling statistic, you ask? Through rigorous observational research. 1-19 pounds, not a soul mentioned it. 20 pounds, and people all over the place started asking if I have been slimming down, including three today alone. That’s all the motivation I need to stick with it to reach my goal. Um, yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about myself right now. I can’t help it, vanity rules!
Since I’m sure you all must be dying to know how I achieved this amazing and dramatic transformation, I’ll share my secret. I have been slowly but surely plodding along with my New Year’s resolution to eat less and move more. It’s simple math—burn more calories than I consume. And hey, I didn’t need a diet and exercise guru for that!
I do miss my beloved (but evil, evil, evil) Quarter Pounders, though. Or ketchup burgers, as they are known to those who have seen me eat one.
