Being fat sucks.
So in an attempt to better myself in many ways at once, I started studying Tang Soo Do. For the first two months i was wearing a tshirt underneath my DoBok (uniform) because of my beer gut/man boobs and the last time i was there the sa bom nim (master) told me not to wear it anymore and now i feel like all blerg cause my blubber is flapping around. So help me feel better scrabbled, relate to me your “i’m fat and uncompfortable” stories.
Braised pork belly
I’m super pumped. I picked up some pork belly at the asian market last night with the intent of making these:
You're not fat because you don't exercise enough.
And exercising more will not help you lose weight. At least, not very well. You’re fat because you have too much insulin. Insulin controls whether or not our body burns or stores calories. The more insulin you have, the more fat you’re going to store. And while exercise burns calories, if your insulin levels are high, your body will demand those calories back and make you hungry.
So how do you lower your insulin levels? Eat fewer carbs.
I just ate something awesome, or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Jam.
I just made and ate what I consider to be the best grilled cheese sandwich in the history of me making them.
McDonald's baked apple pie has 5g of trans fat
One of my favorite deals in all of fast food is the McDonald’s 2 pies for $1. Considering that one pie is 89 cents, why would you not buy two?
Anyway, I bought two yesterday for dessert, and after the first one, decided to look up the nutritional information.
This thing has 5g of trans fat! The recommended daily amount is, oh, 0g, so this was disturbing. I didn’t even bother to eat the other one.
Then I got curious… what are the worst trans fat offenders out there?

The White Castle sack of onion rings has a whopping 30g. THIRTY. I can’t even visualize that.
