Shame on you, Joe! Stand up and go get a sundae!

The variety available makes up for the loss of free ice cream.

Ice cream and pie? Sounds like this part of the beat needs some serious patrolling!

How did the DOG gain weight?

I’m wondering if Marcy or Capt. Ruiz has already scoped out the neighborhood and ordered the ice cream shop not to serve Joe.

That’ll require an extra three laps around the block for each time you stop’n shop.

From frying pan into fire. Sweets to sweets.

Not a good idea Joe.

Just out of curiosity… Anyone commenting on Joe’s weight ever watch cop shows on TV? I’m not talking about the Hawaii 5-0 or Law & Order shows. I’m talking First 48, Live PD, etc. Joe would blend in perfectly with real life police officers and detectives.

If you walk (energetically) every day, over the course of a year you can lose as much as 10 lb. The hitch is not to eat more in the process….

“Rock bottom”? You still have a steady job with benefits and a pension, and a beautiful family. If that’s rock bottom, your life is pretty good!

Get some chewing gum or jolly ranchers to eat when you are tempted like this…

This story arch is boring and lame, and it propagates food and body shaming attitudes. Unfollowing Jump Start. I’ll check back after a few weeks to see if they changed to a more interesting, entertaining, and uplifting story line.
