  • Fat is More Fun Than Skinny PLUS I'm Just Not That Likeable
    Apr 3 2021

    Thanks for listening to this, my 10th Episode of the 50 Plus Podcast.

    This week, I come to the realization that I am probably no where near as likeable or appealing as I think I am - And You know what? I'm okay with that.

    In part 2 of this episode I discuss how trying the process of losing weight has ruined one of the great loves of my life... Eating. I am (or rather was) a prolific eater. It was one of my favorite pass times -- But no more -- My diet has ruined that, probably for the remainder of my life.

    Enjoy.
