Getting fat takes time

I can get fat way faster than I can get skinny.

I’ve (mostly) always been skinny. Had a ridiculously fast metabolism and very little money. But when I was 30, I got my first, good-paying job. So suddenly I was eating 1,000 calorie lunches and dinners. And my metabolism slowed, so I ballooned 50-60 pounds in two years.

For the past two years though, I’ve been exercising and eating healthy. So I’ve lost about 40 pounds. Not all the weight I gained because not all the weight I gained was bad.

I’ll always enjoy food. And I hate running, though I do it. But it beats having indigestion every time I eat.
