Cody Versus Weight: Part 1


I honestly don't know if that's a picture of a bathroom scale or a speedometer, but there it is. When I was beginning college I weighed about 175 pounds. When I weighed myself yesterday, the scale read 210. Since I'm 6'5" that obviously isn't morbidly obese, but 35 more pounds isn't really something to be excited about. A quick scan of my body tells the story. Skinny arms, completey normal sized legs, a normal non-man titted chest, and a disgusting, massive beer gut.

The culprit was obvious and it was time to take action. Yesterday and today I decided not to drink six beers in the afternoon before I start the night shift at work, and exercised a whopping half hour. The result? In a span of one day I dropped 5 pounds to a robust 205. And although I committed myself to a brutal health regimen of moving my body for thirty minutes and not getting drunk before noon, it's not like I lived a completely healthy day. Here's a list of what I ate and drank between the first time I weighed myself and now:

-3 cans of Wild Cherry Pepsi
-A bottle of Vitamin Water
-Half of a Tombstone Pizza
-A box of Tyson chicken nuggets
-T.G.I. Friday's potato skins
-Some jelly beans
-Some peanut M & M's
-Some chips and salsa at work
-Two blueberry Pop-Tarts
-6 Nighttime beers

On that diet I still lost 5 pounds in one day. If you needed another reason to hate me, and according to what people write about me on Juicycampus.com that are already a lot, now you have it.
