WOULD YOU BE WHO YOU ARE NOW?

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IF YOU HAD NEVER BECOME OVER WEIGHT. WOULD YOU BE THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE NOW. WOULD YOU BE SO UNDERSTANDING TO OTHERS LIKE YOU ARE NOW? OR WOULD YOU BE COLD TO A VERY OVER WEIGHT PERSON LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE TO US? WOULD YOU BE GREATFUL FOR THE LITTLE THINGS? OR WOULD YOU ONLY SETTLE FOR THE BEST OF EVERYTHING?

WOULD YOU BE WITH THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE WITH NOW? THE PERSON THAT LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT? OR DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH THE GUY THAT ONLY WANTS THE BRAGGING RIGHTS OF HAVING A SKINNY WIFE?

YOU NEVER KNOW IF THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT SO I THANK GOD THAT I AM THE PERSON WHO I AM NOW. I WOULDNT CHANGE THE ROAD I HAVE BEEN ON BECAUSE OF THAT AND WHAT I HAVE NOW.

THIS IS AN EMAIL I GOT FROM A FRIEND I HAD TO SHARE WITH MY BUDDIES

Weight Loss Plan

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.”

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.

The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me.”

Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot.

This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.

“Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.”

“Absolutely,” he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.”

The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,”If I catch you, you are mine!!!”

He lost 63 pounds that week.

FAT THEOLOGY

Fat Theology

And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetable of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

And Satan created McDonald’s. And McDonald’s brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, “You want fries with that?”

And Man said, “Super size them.” And Man gained pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth chocolate. And woman gained pounds.

And God said, “Try my crispy fresh salad.”

And Satan brought forth ice cream. And woman gained pounds.

And God said, “I have sent your heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them.”

And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter.

And Man gained pounds and his bad cholesterol went through the roof.

And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds.

And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2.

And Man gained pounds.

And God said, “You’re running up the score, Devil.”

And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he created sour cream dip also.

And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol.

And Satan saw and said, “It is good.”

And Man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And Satan created HMOs.

HOW I SEE MYSELF IN 15 YRS AT THE WEIGHT I AM NOW

IN 15 YEARS AT THE WEIGHT I AM NOW I WILL PROBABLE HAVE BACK PROBLEMS. MY LEGS WILL HURT MORE WILL START HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WALKING AND STANDING FOR CERTAIN LENGTHS OF TIME. I WILL NEED MORE MEDICINE FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. I CAN ALSO SEE MYSELF BEING TESTED FOR DIABETIES.
