I got rid of my crummy so called friends quite a while ago and that helped me get a bicycle and change my life for the better. It was nice not to hear their nagging and negative voices: "You can't do that. Why would you do that?" etc. The job took a bit longer but that was next on the chopping block.

The best weight loss in the world is the 400 or so pounds of negativity from the people who get a rush out of seeing you fail.
