I Am Not a Fat Joke

I am not a fat joke.

Yes, when I went to school, I sat next to everybody, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, when I hauled ass, I had to make multiple trips, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, when I sat around the house, I sat around the house, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, I had more chins than a Hong Kong telephone directory, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, I had more pounds than the Bank of England, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, my blood type was O-reo, but I am not a fat joke.

Yes, I was in the Fitness Protection Program, but I am not a fat joke.

One day, I quit feeling sorry for myself and started taking responsibility for my own life.

One day, I got serious about my health and my future.

One day, I decided I was worth more than I was giving myself.

One day, I changed my ways.

One day I was a fat joke.

One day I wasn’t.

    I love your posts. :) I've just gotten started my weight loss journey (and blogging about it), and it's really fun to read your funny/inspirational quirk.

    Jack, I know you're joking around, and that's what you do, 'cause it's good to make people in this godforsakenworld laugh, and you are cool and unique and have a big heart...but. You were never a fat joke. No one is, or was, a fat joke. Or a thin joke. Or a joke. Of any kind. Carry on, dude. Still love 'ya!
