SafeTinspector’s Bullet Points of Fact and Braggarty*
The reality is that I’ve got no secret. Many years ago Opus, a cyborg penguin sent to the year 1984 to kill a boy named Milo, attempted to lose weight through various complicated gimmicks and fads before finally exclaiming in exasperation, “there’s got to be some other way!” I lost my sixty pounds by eating less and exercising. I went from a 38” (96cm) waistline to a 32” (81cm) waistline, XL shirts to M shirts, L underpants to S underpants. Yes, I tricked myself; which turns out to be the closest thing I have to a secret. Instead of trusting in my flaccid willpower to succeed, I treated my future self as the faithless jerk he’ll inevitably turn out to be and worked hard to reduce his temptations while making it as inconvenient as possible for him to cheat. I’ll give you some examples, details, and eventually we’ll get to physical exercise in the posts you’ll find here in the near future, I’m almost certain. |

My wife’s elderly grandmother often tells the same stories. Fortunately, most of the stories are fascinating glimpses into the past and, as I’ve not known her for as long as the rest of her family, the stories are often new to me.
