Up until I graduated college, I was a normal-sized person. Then I started a desk job and became a little overweight. The reason (not excuse) that I started overeating was that I felt lost at work...it really made no since to me why the world is the way it is. Managers were actually playing the 'who could screw the most secretaries' game. I would have tried other things, but I felt trapped by my debt (another stupid thing to do). Part of my research to understand the "real world" was listening to talk radio on my lunch break. If you know talk radio, you know that they try to pull people's emotional strings, and thus I learned to eat emotionally...that was when I packed on the pounds.
Once I hit the obesity mark (lower than you expect), the fat itself started to dramatically but quietly influencing me...my fat became a beast unto itself. I still worked and played hard...doing over 50% of the projects on a team of six and running road races (even a half marathon)...all at obese levels. So I have discipline, but when it came to controlling what I ate, my brain played all sorts of manipulative tricks to make sure I fed the beast.
I've been stuck like that for nearly two decades. And despite constantly being the top performer on whatever team I'm on and having better education credentials (MBA), I get past over for promotions...possibly because my morality prevents me from really fitting in but also, to a large extent, because of discrimination for my obesity.
And now that I'm getting older, I'm running into age discrimination. So I've had it.
Instead of being a masocist, eating the sins of the world. I've decided to become just another skinny sadist and fuck people over. I've lost over 40 pounds so far since I've become an asshole that screws people over. Congratulate me.
Holy X-ray vision! Jim saw through the smoke and mirrors and got right to the heart of the issue. Good job Jim.
