Metaphor of the day: If fat is currency, I'm going on a spending spree

So reading a blog or two...and a nutrition site or two...I've come to the conclusion that under normal circumstances, the body wants to function healthily.  The body is designed to be physically efficient.  Sometimes that works in our favor, sometimes not.  The last few weeks, it's been in my favor.  By fueling my body more appropriately, it's functioning better.  I think my body wants to be svelte.  Rar.

Of course, the body is also great at food storage.  Or in banking terms, it's a lot better at saving than I am.  Eat too much...exercise too little...and the body puts it all into a big savings account...an enormous savings account in some cases.  Now it's my job to go on a spending spree and blow through my "reserves."  Anybody know a place I can buy an iPad with fat?

  1. I'm picturing you walking into a store, and laying down a garbage bag full of fat (of course it would have to be clear just to make it extra disgusting). How's that for motivation. Way to go! By the time I see you next, you'll probably weigh the same as me. ;)
