Dan Nied's Fortress of Weight Loss: Day 57

I never agree with everything PT has to say about me and the Fortress. But she always manages to make at least one very good point, which I gladly consider.

Yes, the positive commenters have become full-fledged parts of the Fortress, but so has PT and her spread out clan of Dan-bashers.

So I’d very much like to share with you her last comment, which even includes a few backhanded compliments:

So you DO weigh-in more than once a week, but you only have one official weekly weigh-in?

So basically, you see the wisdom of having more than a weekly weigh-in as is the common wisdom in the weight loss world, but the others don't count for you because they aren't official? I feel as if all that stuff about doing it your way is a lot of blathering on. And yet, you make this honest revelation.

This is beginning to remind me of those confessional dramas and make me think that perhaps you need a mental check up.

I weigh in every day. Every morning. Every day is an official weigh in. I make sure I'm not overweight or underweight.

In general American society is much harsher with women who are overweight. So I wonder how you treat overweight women and if you'd consider dating one. When you're talking about seeing a boob for free (not hard in this country IMHO) and getting some ass, it doesn't sound like you're ready for a fruitful, meaningful relationship.

It sounds like a crass 15-year-old talking.

In response, I’d just like to say this: Yes I realize the wisdom of weighing in twice a week, I almost certainly do need a mental checkup, I am glad that weighing in every day works for you, I have dated overweight girls in the past and would consider doing so again, and maybe I do sound like a 15-year old, but I am actually 28 and I really, really, really like boobs.

Oh, and thanks.

No reason to waste my time posting negative comments or outlining a bunch of suggestions on what you're doing wrong. I know you are lazy. In fact you are the laziest person I have ever met in my life. But you're still working toward something and that's what counts. I will be glad to check you if you stray too far off course. OK that's all I've got- it's probably time for you to go make a salt sandwich on wheat anyway.

I'm sending Jillian to "help" you work out.
