I could stand to lose 20 lbs; I'm 6-3 and 205... last time I was at my "fighting weight" was a few years ago when I built my barn... I swore I'd never let those love handles come back but the bastards are sneaky, aren't they? They get you when you are sleeping <g>.
America is fat, that's just how it is. Anybody with kids in the schools can see that they aren't like we were (mostly). It's gross.
I watched a WWI documentary a couple years ago. They showed an old film of boot camp in 1917 or so. There was this one scene of about 1000 young American men running forwards to bayonet a punching bag. It was astounding how different they were from people nowadays! They were lean, wiry, quick young guys, every man Jack amongst them. Looked like they could run 5 miles, buck hay all day, climb the mast of a sailboat, etc. All in an afternoon, I mean.
These are decadent times we live in and only getting worse.
That said, I'm not throwing stones. I'm in decent shape but compared to how I used to be, I'm pathetic too.
Very well said.
