Weighty Problems....of all sorts!

I've been back at the gym for a week, and as of now have lost 4lbs.

Before you all congratulate me, I've still got 21lbs to go till I hit
the first target. Symbolic as it would be the lightest I would've
been at my current employers.

I think that it gets to a point where all you are doing when you go
out for the evening is wishing that you didn't stand out in the
crowd. It is natural to think that, 16 and a half stone and 5ft 8",
that is always going to be the case.

Saying that, we do have the example of James Corden of Gavin and
Stacey fame being romantically linked with Lily Allen. How the fuck
has that come about? James, is slightly shorter and heavier than
yours truly, and yet he's been able to pull women, that I can
fantasise till the cows come home, but it'll never happen whilst I'm
like I am.

People say that they love you for who you are, but surely that doesn't
count for shit, if you don't love yourself. The press are constantly
harping on and on, about models always being skinny and size 0, in
fact one of the reality shows in La-La land deemed anyone over a size
8 as being of Plus-Size.

That is ridiculous and pretty vacuous. At a time where more and more
young people are taking drugs to get skinny, surely society has a
moral obligation to explain the difference of being healthy as well as
skinny and skeletal and ill.
