Not any more - I'm 44, I was 250 lbs, 5' 10", huffing and puffing to get up stairs and get out of the car. More chins than a Chinese phone book. Huge T-shirts and pants- so big, I thought my tailor was Omar the Tentmaker. Not happy.
So....I joined Weight Watchers in April and have since lost 47 pounds.
Now I exercise more, feel better and life's a lot better in general. I eat better, too, and don't need all the junk I was eating before. Oof! Will be down to 170 lbs by early next year- best weight for 5' 10", for health, etc.
People I haven't seen in a while don't even recognise me any more (Is that you??) and women are suddenly VERY friendly.... >:^D
Bottom line (no pun intended): if you're a lardass, it's your own damn fault. Nothing more laughable that a middle-aged, doughy white guy with a huge gut.
Unfortunately that is the media's image of MOST gun owners in this country.....
