Its pretty sobering to think that what we are doing, eating, taking part in now will determine how many years we'll have on this earthly plain, much less the quality of the years we'll have on it.
Yes. I thought that I would be a lesson to all of you except for Gerrit and Loafergirl, but no. (FlyingCarp, if you're physically fit then I apologize but the odds of you finding this place and being so, well, let's just say the forum history is against you.)
You've all had me to use as an example of what to avoid, but do I see any of you making changes that will prolong your lives? No! I see the exact opposite. I went into the hospital, the uh
goddamn hospital for multiple procedures over three days and you all looked on with unamused detachment, posting photos of hot sauce, hot chicken and large pepperoni pies.
I'm the signal God sent all of you to improve your physical condition. You were waiting for a sign (that wasn't a heart attack)? THIS IS THAT SIGN.
THIS IS THAT SIGN.
Also, we went out for supper tonight. I had sushi (which I am allowed to eat) but I had some calamari (which I am not allowed to eat). It was the first fried food I've had in 3 weeks and now my stomach feels like it's taking part in a 7th "Saw" movie. So I won't have to worry about discipline, I simply need to eat well so I don't want to die. It's the rest of you I feel bad for.
