Some furnaces burn hotter than others. I quit smoking in October and gained 25 lbs w/o increasing my caloric intake at all. I really have to watch what I eat now because my metabolism went through the floor w/o nicotine. If I were to eat as much now as I was then, and say that I now have the disease called Post-Smoking Syndrome which is causing me to gain weight. Or I could cut back on the calories and not have to buy new pants. I chose the latter, still gained a lot of weight, and had to buy new pants. But at least I tried.
I’m not Dr. Slim, I just know that calories must be either burned or stored.
B. I’m not making excuses. I said that when I gained weight because I quit smoking, I had to be more careful about what I eat. That supports my point, I should think. If I were making excuses I would have said that I gained fifty pounds because I refused to adjust my caloric intake just because I was gaining weight.
No, it isn’t unclear, but, well…if you weren’t making excuses then why do you have to keep pointing out the fact that you quit smoking? What does that have to do with it? Maybe you just got fat right around the time you quit smoking? i used to smoke too, and successfully quit…didn’t gain one pound for it.
Pickens: Great idea. I must might try that AFTER I follow my doctors advice and still have a problem. I guess I’m just insensitive to people who think they can take a shortcut to change their apprearance after four decades, then attacking the people who tried to help him. Have a nice weekend.
Uhhh… I’m no surgeon, but I’m pretty sure that gastric bypass surgery isn’t supposed to make you bleed internally for 30 hours. OR leave you close to death. Just sayin’.

What kind of response was that…sounds like your a fatty making excuses for yourself….so who are you to judge weis and his weight?
A. I’m not fat.

Sorry, I guess I’m just stupid.
Singing off.

Well said. Likewise to you.

WHat a sweet ruling.
Loving it Pickens. Too funny and too dead on right.
