Better now than November

Are you just a few or a few too many pounds overweight?

I am.

According to recent FATSTATS, two out of three Americans are obese or overweight.  That figure is rapidly expanding.  Not good.

Well, I think I'm on to something that doesn't require counting calories, attending weekly meetings, purchasing fake food, recording each bite or summoning every ounce of whatever will power you may or may not have/apparently, I have none.

Here's my plan:

You know that horribly uncomfortable, far-too-full, feeling we've all experienced after a big Thanksgiving meal? And you've no doubt heard about or know someone who has had Laparoscopic Gastric Band (lap-band) surgery, right? Well, why not capitalize on these two bits of information not by undergoing surgery but by creating your own DIY EXTERNAL LAP BAND instead.  

Simply tighten your belt one notch before each meal.  Next week tighten it one more notch until you're where we want to be.  Easy.  This might serve as a reminder about where you want to be.  And where you are now.

I'm in.  Are you?  Let me know how it goes.
