- Well, outside of this more enlightened faction are "some of y'all" who still
- believe the hype, though thankfully these are getting fewer every year.
-
- I'm not nearly as athletic as some of the thin people I see - which is
- probably why I weigh even less that they do, lacking the muscle mass that
- they have. But I hear all these stories about guys who only dwarf me by
- about 20 pounds in muscle who are complete and total monsters at the
- meal table. <grin>

- Yeah, I vary too with this. There are some days I get this paralyzing
- headache that makes my stomach tie itself in a knot. Not a feeling I
- really like, since I tend to look at my appetite as one of the frontline
- indicators of how well my day is going.
