That’s his automatic mental block (panel 4); that’s why he’ll never be serious about losing weight

He’s always looking for an excuse.

“I need do something”?

When I retired I began a long avoided project of sorting through all my “stuff”, which entailed a lot of walking back and forth through my house instead of sitting 8 hours a day at an office desk. Also, I began walking to the store, post office, etc. Then some unexpected things began to happen—the amount of food that had satisfied me while sitting all day was more than I wanted to finish now that I was moving all the time; so I started to cut back little by little until I stopped feeling overstuffed at meals … and I started to lose weight! Over the course of the last year and a half I’ve lost 15 pounds, effortlessly! And it’s still coming off, albeit slowly now. So, Adam, eating less and exercising more really works; maybe you could start sorting your stuff too—“Hmm, donate this, file that, this in the kitchen, that in the garage…” Next thing you know you’ll have walked off that extra poundage, especially if you stop eating as soon as you feel full.

Is Katy speaking a different language?

I have lost 40 pounds since New Years Day with the simple plan, “Move more, eat less”

Buy new clothes.

A lot of people suffer from DCMWTF syndrome.

Don’t Confuse Me With The Facts

Here, here young lady! How about a little respect for your elders. They may be fat and balding and old and lazy and smelly and… wait, where was I going with that?

Adam are you talking about the COVID-19? Not the virus but the 19 pounds you gain while being stuck at home.

Adam, reach past the coffee mug, pick up and eat an orange from the bowl. Simple, not drastic…

That’s crazy talk

Yeah, it’s called pre heart attack if you are not careful. Listen to the wisdom from the mouths of babes….

Adam isn’t a common sense kind of guy, he needs a nonsense solution that works

Being a Toon, he might find one

He can dial the scale back a few pounds, easy fix.

Something drastic … like getting a whole new set of cloths.

Need to go wardrobe shopping for larger sizes?

same problem – in reverse, lost 30 pounds over past year

He should have moved in with us at the start of the pandemic. We lost weight.

Before same we used to eat all lunches and 3 dinners weekly (and had late night snack not breakfast as our 3rd meal) so house was not overfilled with food. We live in NYC area so around here the concern over going out hit early. We went to a supermarket to buy food and the empty shelves and cold cases (no meat left in store at all, maybe 75 cans left in the canned goods aisle) really scared my husband.

So unlike everyone who gained weight, we actually lost weight – 14 lbs for me, a bit more for husband – as we were eating much smaller meals than we normally would – if a frozen meal package had been a dinner for the two of us, it became one and a half dinners – and no more canned soup as a first course – it would be used for lunches, 1/2 can for lunch for husband. I went with peanut butter sandwich daily for lunch and some of those were on a frozen biscuit if bread was short.
