We don't use the word 'fat', we use the word 'cuddly'.

Thanks for repeating a joke that had already been posted using an image created by a third party. Is it possible for you to be any less original?

Parsifal,

I choose to think that markjo posted the image as a cheering response to my self-deprecating humour. It made me smile. This is a light-hearted thread - don't spoil it.

Its probably 20lbs more than you need though. Its butter.


You even pop into the overweight band on a modern day graph where your max should be 175 lbs.

Of course you are about average height. We only have to go back as far as 1960 before the real splurge in steroids and fast food to see that an average man of your height in 1960 was just 166lb.

Quote from: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/healthcare/a/tallbutfat.htm
Meanwhile, the average weight for men aged 20-74 years rose dramatically from 166.3 pounds in 1960 to 191 pounds in 2002, while the average weight for women the same age increased from 140.2 pounds in 1960 to 164.3 pounds in 2002.

You are also getting a warped view of what is normal.
Quote from: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/is-fat-the-new-normal
The New Normal

The average American is 23 pounds heavier than his or her ideal body weight. If we equate "normal" with average, it's not much of a stretch to say it's normal to be fat.

"For children and for many adults who are overweight, they are starting to perceive themselves as the new normal," says obesity expert Robert F. Kushner, MD, MS. Overweight people may dismiss their weight, he tells WebMD, because they feel "everyone else looks exactly the same."

"It's quite clear that people are changing their idea of what an acceptable body size is," says Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School. As the average body weight goes up, there's more acceptance of heavier body types.
I guess it has become a safety in numbers thing for tubby Americans.

There is a cure though. Ditch all your fat friends.
Quote from: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/is-fat-the-new-normal
His findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2009, show that your odds of becoming obese rise by 57% if you have a friend who becomes obese and by 40% if your sibling becomes obese."We're social animals," Christakis says. "We're influenced by the choices and actions and appearance and behaviors of those around us."

Yup, my bb is ~190lbs. Does that look like a product of obesity to you?

You have a very skewed perception of what weight looks like. There are a lot of overweight people, but they're mostly women and they're mostly below the poverty line. Or they're fat kids who have been overfed and kept inside by dumb parents.

If sevenhills is 20 more lbs than your skeletal frame, then he's probably looking pretty good.

All of this is counterbalanced by the fact that you told me not to go on a diet. Should I instead look like my fat friend or should I keep to ~120 lbs?

Does this mean that you retired or did you get a new MOS?

I believe that means that he can be called up at any time, but is currently civilian, but not reserve.  I was only an E5, but I had heard about this.

Yeah technically neither.   You don't fully retire from the military until 30 years.   So I guess you could say I'm on retainer for the next 10.  If dubya dubya 3 breaks out I guess they could call n me back.  I don't know for what job though considering they are fully eliminating what I used to do in the next few years.
