keryxI kinda wimped out on the Operation Love Handle thing. Or maybe I didn't wimp out. What I didn't do is send the organizers a strongly-worded note, cite the dreaded anorexia or anything else counter-alarmist to go with the obesity crisis.
What I did do is start telling everyone I feel comfortable saying "ass" to at the office about various things we'll do as part of Operation Fat Ass. Number one - eat almonds! They're full of fat and DANGEROUS. Number two - drink beers! Or, in my case, vodka tonics and cough drops. Number three - go out for Thai at lunch! Eat carbs! And fatty, sugary coconut soup. Cause hey, mental health first.
It's less obviously political, but it also touches more people. It's personal, and maybe a little obnoxious (but funny as hell, you have to grant me that). I don't know - it just feels right with the way I want to live my life.
