    Great article.

    I'd probably live on fried chicken and potato wedges forever without making some choices.

    God, I hope to never eat like a trucker.

    I lose weight on the road. I would hate to think I need to eat more.

    i've been about 185 for YEARS now. even going from sweating my arse off in an attic doing HVAC, to sitting on it all day has had NO effect on my weight
    i guess having the metabolism of a small nocleor reactor helps:biggrin_255:

    im not a trucker. but i do know that if im on a road trip i will eat less, but smoke more. and if im home ill smoke less, but eat more. i guess ill either have a huge gut or black lungs depending on my carrer moves. and ill have to live w/ the impending doom of either since i enjoy them both so much....

    I lost weight when I was out on the road, and gained it back when I got home.....I run my fanny off all night long, but I don't lose weight at all, and I am doing heavy lifting.
