The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 23, 2022

That’s my daily struggle too.

The baked potato with sour cream and the chocolate cake of course had nothing to do with it.

Well, Brutus, at least you’re not the Born Loser in this regard.

Exercise, not extra fries.

Not to mention the fully loaded pizza you had for lunch and the chocolate chip cookies you snacked on in the afternoon.

The house is always against you.

Life is rigged? I want a recount!

That depends. Are they troy ounces or avoirdupois? Not obvious at first glance, but troy is much bigger than avoid the poison! Remember in the city of Troy that the Trojan horse was so huge that an army of soldiers could fit inside!

I think as long as your poop weighs at least as much as what you consume, you have to lose weight. It doesn’t matter if you eat salad or butter.

maybe that steak lied and was the one that was five pounds. :D

Switch to metric…. 5 pounds is only a little over 2.2 kilos.

You know when you weigh too much when reading the scale, you have to bend forward to see past your stomach.

Brutus was never good at math!

He has a point

Don’t get too concerned. Don’t eat that way for the next few days and it SHOULD fall off. Then again, that weight might just like its new home…..

Synergy

Maybe the 4 sides and dessert?

Brutus, just go low carb and drop the potatoes…

5 lbs is 17,500 calories. Very unlikely that what he ate could amount to that much.

You should be used to life being rigged by now.

I feel you Brutus my Man! I quit drinking Beer after the Super Bowl (I drink a lot of Beer!) and I’ve barely lost 3 pounds!

Sodium. He’s probably just bloated. It will pass, so to speak.

I understand his plight: I gain weight just passing the ice cream section at the grocery store.

Hah – so funny and so true! For me that little slice of pizza (or two, let’s not quibble) packs on the pounds well beyond its mass!

i reckon that after you reach a certain age there’s some kind of biological mechanism that automatically doubles the resulting body mass for any given amount of food you ingest…

I figure if you “pig-out” once in a while..your body won’t be able store “all” the calories.
