What if MySpace is a mass hallucination?

About Me

I'm resolving a personal problem with world-wide ramifications... I am going on a diet!

You are going to lend basic support with a few kind words. In return, you'll not only get progress updates, but also the fantastic sense of pride and accomplishement by actively making the world a more beautiful place by helping a fat person lose weight.

Think about it, you don't have to hug a tree, save a baby seal, stop a terrorist, adopt a handicapped child, go to a third world country, or even get off the Internet!

*chuckle*

Now go read the rest of my profile and make me your friend.

Advice and Food Safety

Apparently, the magic solution to my weight woes is an 800 calorie per day lifestyle.  Yep, that will happen.  I'll draw inspiration from the 600 lb man who was just rescued from his trailer...
