    I fell your pain on the weight thing. I had a nice local job lined up delivering swimming pool supplies on a straight truck. Hiring guy was getting Me all setup, then the senior driver shows up. Keeps remarking physical job, I probably can't keep up, blah blah. Never heard back after I left. Their heaviest item was buckets of chlorine . Most of it was pool liners, PVC pipes, etc... I'm fat, but it's ridiculous that people assume you can't do physical work because of it. Its not like we are going rock climbing ...

    I imagine if you are from fl and did that you wouldnt have been big long. Yall got some serious heat down there. But yeah it gets pretty old hearing the lazy line. Granted I am sure theres a bunch out there that are, but I've been in enough places where the slim folk in the office do not do a thing, and you have to threaten to kill them to get off their cans. Isn't stereotyping fun? Fatties are the last group than can be made fun of it seems.

    I think I just suffer anxiety at any doctor office because I'm afraid they will find something wrong. With family histories of diabetes, hear disease, mental illness, bad joints, etc. I'm just waiting for the hammer to fall. The "think of a happy place" technique was taught to me by a doc giving me a sports physical years ago.

    As for being a fattie, I'm 6' 270 lbs but when you factor in a 56" chest, 17" biceps, and the ability to walk around carrying 300+lb items it's not fat. But with the new sleep apnea regulations coming, and I heard they are coming, I will be classed with the big boys and forced to take a sleep study even though I sleep just fine and show no signs of having sleep apnea. go figure.

    You're not alone. It is called white coat hypertension.

    Which of course they classify as hypertention now. I have the same thing really but what can you do? I think knowing your butt is on the hook depending on that reading can lead to tention, but what do I know eh?

    Nothing wrong with wearing cologne. Read an article yesterday on MSNBC, interview with the beautiful Halle Berry & she explains the correct way to apply cologne & perfume. [h=6]Halle Berry sprays perfume between her thighs[/h]

    Well I got moved up to regional training a week early from local. Not sure if I should be excited or leary of the whole thing. Struggled at first but really put it together the last few days. We shall see.
