What happened?

According to the scale, I have gained 23 pounds since November. My feeble attempts to lose the weight have been difficult, especially since I work in an industry that requires me to sit for hours in front of a computer screen.

The problem is compounded with the fact that my co-workers always want to eat out for lunch. Speaking of restaurants, how come whenever you roll with a big party, everyone wants to pay with a freakin' credit card? No one ever has cash! Paying the bill with a big party is like the Lakers franchise without Kobe -- It sucks.

That's why I always ask to be put on a separate check. It makes things soooo much easier. But everytime I ask to be on a separate check, the waiter looks at me like I asked him to pat his head and rub his belly at the same time. HEY WAITER!! Is it really that hard to do?? Wipe that annoyed look off your face and JUST DO IT! Ok, sunshine? But I digress.

Back to losing weight - I'm trying the best I can. But I don't think stuffing my face with twinkies and Western Bacon Cheeseburgers constitutes "trying."

It doesn't get much more pathetic than that. Well, except maybe me during a wedding’s father/daughter dance. Seriously, after a couple verses of “Dance with My Father Again” by Luther Vandross, I’m reaching for the Kleenex box.
