LOL!

Thanks for brightening up my day!

My suggestion is the tried and true stress diet.

First buy a house that needs major renovation and then commit to doing all of the work by yourself. Oh yeah, try to fit this in during hunting and fishing seasons and get the major items done within three months.

Next, make sure that you work for a company that likes to lay people off, thousands at a time. Sure, you mortgaged your house to the hilt so you can pay for all of the remodel. Now all you have to do is survive the cutbacks in a slow economy and get that mortgage paid off. Don't worry if you get laid off, cause I'm sure you'll get a job in 6 or 8 months.

Finally, stupidly agree to take on a few furniture building/refinishing projects cause the wife want them done, yesterday. Just to make life interesting, have the wife spill some chemical stripper onto a piece that took you 20 hours to get that PERFECT finish on.

This diet has resulted in me losing 30 pounds in the last 15 months, and I am proud to say I have the butt of an 18 year old boy! (hold your comments, please.)
