Gain Some——Lose Some
I’m reminded of the quote by Erma Bombeck: I’ve been on a constant diet for the last two decades. I’ve lost a total of 789 pounds. By all accounts, I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.
I happened in 2014 to keep track pretty conscientiously of my weight. I found that some days I would gain a half a pound, some days I would lose a pound, some days I would gain two pounds, etc., etc. Well, I went through those records and found that over the course of the year I gained 85 1/2 pounds, and I lost 79 1/2 pounds. On January first I weighed 150. And on December 31st I weighed 144 1/2. My highest weight within the year was 152, and my lowest weight was 138. That’s a fluctuation of fourteen pounds.
I don’t know what it all proves. It just was a little bit interesting.
