Weird Al has you beat. A line in Fat says,
"And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again who's fat"

I'm so fat I need a boomerang to put my belt on.  :o  I was just over 200 pounds when I was in the army, until right before I got out when I got down to 185 pounds. I think that was supposed to be the maximum ideal weight for me at 6' tall, but when I came home my dad said I looked sick. My "ideal" weight was unhealthy. Unlike some people who say they aren't fat, they're just big boned, I actually am big boned. One time I got a phone call from a company trying to sell me a men's bracelet. When they told me how big it was, it was more than an inch too small for me, and I don't carry a lot of weight on my wrists.

Bone size aside, I put on weight after I got married and my wife let herself go. Then I gained more and more weight when I went out on permanent disability and ballooned up. I was still eating like I did when I was working but not doing anything to burn it off. It doesn't help when some days I eat one meal all day. And I mean all day. I eat enough to feed a whole family and still don't feel full. Other days I go hours and hours without feeling hungry before I eat breakfast. More often than not I eat too much high calorie food. Everything I like is bad for me.

Everything I like is bad for me.

My grandma used to say, "Everything I like is either illegal, immoral, or fattening."  That's the frustrating truth of it.  I heard a comedian on the old Carson show say he wanted to lose some weight, but not enough to exercise or eat less.

But, back to trying to get this thread on some form of drift control, last night's dinner was three small but lovely grilled lamb chops with a side of steamed faro (that's an ancient grain, similar to wheat but better for you), some beets, and a glass of good red wine.

I'm fighting the same weight battle as many of us here.  This morning I came in at 222, and at 6 feet, that's a little too much.  I'd really like to get down to 185, but with two bad knees and a pair of bad shoulders, it's hard to find an exercise I can actually do--besides jumping to conclusions.  So, I'm down to two meals a day--lunch around 11 and dinner at 6--one serving, no seconds.  I drop around a pound a week doing that until holidays roll around.  Then I bounce back up.  Life's a struggle.

I eat fairly well but like others, getting run over by a car 10 years back has me less than fully mobile.  That and my laziness hasn't helped.  I'm 6'1" at just under 280 and have been losing a few pounds every few weeks.

I eat a light breakfast and my big meal is lunch with a very light dinner if any dinner at all.  No booze (dang), beer or other viCes anymore.  Been lifting a bit, light weight, lots of reps and it's working.  Just gotta lose 3000 calories weekly to lose a pound.  My downfall is bread, cheese, milk and taters!  The A1C is down to 7.5 and my BP is 127/75 or near stable.

I just looked at my records and for December it said HEMOGLOBIN A1c 6.8 %, and it looks like normal is 4.0-6.0%,  with under 5.7 preferred. 6.4 and above is diabetes. In April it was 5.6% which is normal. It's been normal for decades.

I had more spicy chicken chunks. I think it was my 6th or 7th meal of them so far. Normally I like to eat something different each day, but I make an exception for these and eat them until the whole bag is gone. It's not likely I'll have them again for several months, and maybe not until next year. I was going to have some cottage cheese afterward but didn't feel like eating any more.

A couple of weeks ago I had a coupon for Private Selection frozen appetizers from Kroger. Right now I'm eating some Hatch Chili & Cheese Puffs.

"Butter puff pastries filled with rich cream cheese and Monterey Jack blended with hot Hatch chilies and green chilies. Hatch Chili & Cheese Puffs are  inspired by the heat and flavors of New Mexico cuisine.

Filled with a blend of rich cheese, jalapeños and the Hatch region’s renowned chilis, these savory pastries are a perfect way to add authentic flavor to your entertaining."

It's too hot all summer to use the oven but when winter rolls around I like to bake things like frozen appetizers. Sometimes I have things in the freezer for months before I eat them. https://www.privateselection.com/artisan-products/frozen-foods/frozen-appetizers/

I should buy some bananas for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I have plain peanut butter, dark chocolate peanut butter, and honey peanut butter. Chocolate peanut butter and bananas sounds really good right about now.

I had a jar of Castelvetrano olives brined in Trapani sea salt. Those Sicilians know a thing or two about olives, but the label was wrong. It said that it was about 8 servings, but it was only one.  ;)

P.S. The olives weren't too salty, and they weren't sour like some other green olives. Most people describe them as buttery.

What ever happened to truth in advertising laws, I see this same thing on ice cream cookies and soft drinks. They really need to get after these companies for lying like that... ;D ;D ;D

Right. Ben & Jerry are a couple of big fat liars. They claim a pint of ice cream is 4 servings, but I know darned well it's only one serving and always has been.

I'm eating potato skins with cheddar cheese and apple-wood smoked bacon. And just a bit of ketchup on the one I'm eating now. I would rather have sour cream on it, but I'll have to rough it and use what I have.
