A Brief Introduction by the Author, of the Author

Well hello there Reader.  (I've always wanted to do that, you know, address a hypothetical audience as "Reader." Dreams do come true folks.) 

I am embarking on an inspiring journey through the exciting hoops, hills and valleys of getting healthy and losing weight and if you're anything like me; you hate it.  Every diet book I read offers a litany of motivational thoughts, impractical advice, and insincere, tired platitudes. For me, a born and bred cynic, these cliched offerings only serve to exercise the muscles that allow me to roll my eyes in disgust.

Yes, this photo is photo shopped, as is every photo that could influence voters if I ever decide to run for President of my book club

So, I decided (while pondering the evils of that leafy vitamin so deceptively named spinach) to write an account of my loathing for all things diet.  I hope that it offers a transparent, genuine, and if all goes well, entertaining lament of my attempt at "healthy living."

Dig in.
