Dieting

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Well, I'm 6'2", and weigh in at 260 - which is 10 more pounds than what I weighed when I graduated college. Unfortunately, a lot of the rules don't apply to me - I could eat 5 strips of bacon and 3 eggs fried in the leftover bacon grease every morning and not gain weight. (Come to think of it, that is what I tend to do, but I digress...)

If you really want to look great before you start college - delay your entry into college for a year. Enlist in the National Guard, and go off to basic training.

I guarantee you that at the end of that 10 week period (U.S. Army) you'll be in better physical shape than you've ever been in your life. I WAS a bit tubby and out of shape when I went to basic training - 5'11", 38" chest, 38" waist, and weighed in at 200 lbs. (Side note - I was 19 at that point.)

Came back home from basic, I was 6'2", had a 44" chest, 34" waist, and weighed 160 pounds. Oh, and I could walk 30 miles a day with a 50 pound pack on my back, carrying an 8 pound M-16A1 in my arms. And oh, yeah, that was in the days before Kevlar, so we humped with steel pots.

Yeah, military basic training will put hair on your chest, and make your balls drop is they haven't done so already...

(Side note - today was my third 13 hour day in a row, so I'm relaxing at home with a 14 ounce plastic cup that HAD 3 ounces of Seagrams Honey, 3 ounces of Long Island Iced tea, and the rest Coke. So I may be a little bit toasted by now, since the cup is half empty. It's sure not half full anymore .... )

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
