I am an unabashed omnivore. That is to say, I’ll eat almost anything that won’t eat me. If it’s properly prepared I may even eat things that will eat me.

Funny start of your post.lol I’m not a vegetarian, but I do eat vegetables a lot along with meat or some other staff. As a matter of fact, my friend is a vegetarian. Just a few years ago her body weight was about 250 pounds, than all of the sudden she stopped eating any meat. Within one year she lost 130 pounds and she still keeps it the same now. She is happy of course. I do admire her. Even tough I have never been overweight, I do understand how easy it is to gain weight and how hard it is to loose it. As of your life story, in my childhood I was exactly the same. Didn’t pay attention to my diet, ate everything that was put on my plate. Actually one time my dad made this horrible sup, no one could eat it.lol Anyway, I could tell, even though you say you ate no more that 10 cheeseburgers per week, it’s still a lot. I, myself ate probably 10 in my entire life. Believe it or not. On the other hand, you did great with your excersise running 30 miles per week is a lot. When the weather allows me, I run once a week 4 miles. I have to admit, your weight swings kind of scared me. Since my 20th birthday my biggest weight swing was 10 pounds. I’m glad you have your vegan friend looking out for you. However, I wouldn’t believe you would turn into vegetarian for a second. I’m a meat lover, you have to eat meat. We humans are build to eat meat.
Great and at some point funny post!
