- mom: why are you smiling at the computer
“Well, um, you know that’s something that really bothers me. What’s wrong with being fat? That’s what I want to know. I don’t see anything wrong with fat. You know, I remember when I used to weigh 185 pounds, I was the same height that I am now. I was going to college and I had this food ticket for the cafeteria food, it was mainly all based on starch, cheap food right. So I’d get up at 6:30 every morning just to make breakfast, right. Eggs,sausages and toast and milk and I go do a few classes and make it in there for lunch, mashed potatoes. So about three months later I was 185 pounds.And you know what, I felt so great. I felt like a tank. A large mammal, a big beast. When I moved across the lawn, I felt like I could knock anyone out of my way. I was solid, man. Fat is beautiful.”
