Paige came across this man's story and his book, by the above name, while I was in Utah and we ordered the book and both have read it. Quite an interesting account of one man's struggles with his weight. He is 5'9'' and yo-yoed with his weight between 219 and 380 (or something like that). He was ALWAYS either losing or gaining. He recounts a time when he was losing and got down to a svelte 219 or so and customed ordered 3 suits, which were quite expensive for the time, $2,000. Unfortunately, by the time he got the suits he was on an upswing of gaining and they no longer fit. He kept them for 20 years (I think) but never got to wear them and eventually gave them away.
The point of this whole story is Jason and I were talking about Thanksgiving activities. This is what he wants to do:
Wed Arrive in Austin and go eat at Torchy's
Thurs Eat Thanksgiving meal
Fri Eat at Rudy's
Sat Eat at Torchy's and go back to Indy
He should be living large also....
Reminds me of when just before we moved from Philly and he really wanted to come, go to New York City and also (and perhaps most important) eat at Reading Terminal Market one last time. Actually, maybe not too unusual, I think Paige and Kincade would have appreciated a last visit to Yum Yum's.
