Reasons NOT to Lose Weight

  • Shame to waste all my “fat” pants
  • 25-lb. bags of potato chips at Costco make unhealthy lifestyle extremely affordable
  • Time spent weight loss blogging could easily be filled with TV watching
  • Less sweaty gym clothes = less laundry
  • Might miss out on playing Santa Claus at holiday parties
  • Easier to maintain casual friendships with all those fast food drive-thru workers
  • Don’t have to answer that embarrassing “Are you losing weight?” question
  • Good excuse to wear sweatpants in public
  • Don’t have to worry about a lot of leftovers cluttering up fridge
  • Get more for your money at “all-you-can-eat” buffet
  • Answer to all life’s problems? Gravy
  • Have kick-*ss health insurance to deal with any weight-related problems
  • Have gotten good at punching new holes in belt with screwdriver
  • Guy that owns the local Ben & Jerry’s franchise really wants me back

I dunno. I make a pretty compelling argument, but I think I’m gonna stick with the plan.

  1. I see your dilemma, esp. not getting our money's worth at the pig trough, I mean the "all you can eat" buffet. But I think you probably have made the best decision.

  2. That's so funny. Love the one about punching holes in the belt with a screwdriver. It works best with an ice pick. Just so you know. ;-)

    Stay on plan. The benefits of loss out"weigh" the benefits of being fat.
    *cooler clothes
    *can sit at a booth at a restaurant without belly pushing on table
    *only have to purchase 1 airline ticket instead of one for you and one for your ass
    *less health problems
    *less snoring
    *feel better

  3. Haha, I need that GIRTH pennant!

    These all seem like pretty good reasons...I mean, the economy is tough right now and that Ben & Jerry's guy has kids to support!

  4. God I hate doing laundry. I think I'm gonna go have some cheap potato chips, which are totally certain to make me feel all better.
