so i hear my belly stands out

[Eddie]

if anyone, any lady or gent here. who can give me advice on how to keep my stubborn woman from eating out and dragging me along with her.

i think that's about it. any info?

If you have the space and ability to do so, raise a garden. Plant lots of dark green, leafy vegetables that you can eat raw. They are delicious, and it's almost impossible to gain weight eating raw greens with no dressing on them.

Such greens have other benefits. They are loaded with vitamins, and also are a good way of introducing sunlight into a part of your body that doesn't normally encounter it.

I buy my seeds from a company in Oregon that carries a wide variety of delightful salad greens, including many obscure, Oriental varieties that are hard to find elsewhere. They are easy to raise and a great substitute for processed, industrial food. You can PM me if you want a link to the company's web site.
