There’s nothing quite like sitting on a friend’s couch….and breaking it. Not that I would know…it was a work couch that I broke… (allegedly) As a big and heavy guy, I’ve always been hyperaware of where I sit. Not only is it draining to stand for long periods of time but there are also fewer …
Having regular dinners together is one of the best things that couples and families can do to strengthen their relationships. When my wife and I were dating in college we made it a point to take study breaks and connect during meal-times as much as possible. This became even more true when we had kids. …
Nearly all of my local stores have shirts for big guys….as long as “big guys” wear a 3xl or smaller. At one time in my life (high school…) a 3XL was enough but, since then, I’ve had to scramble for shirts (and other clothing) that not only fits but makes me look like something other …
If you’re a big guy or girl you’ve probably been thinking about increasing your fitness level (or losing weight) for a while. I know that when I was at my heaviest I didn’t necessarily care about losing weight, I just wanted to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath …
When I was 14 years old, I was sitting in my room when I heard a loud noise (and lots of angry words) coming from my neighbor’s yard. I looked out my window and saw him in his driveway, saw in hand, hacking the roof off of his Mazda Miata. As it turns out, he …
If you are overweight, you’ve probably been told dozens of times to “just be a bit more active.” Or my other favorite, the advice disguised as a story: “So my aunt started walking 10 miles per day and has lost 87 pounds….” Well, great for your aunt. However, being active when you’re morbidly obese (or …
I’ve always hated trying on clothes. I would much rather just buy a pair of pants and then return them later if they don’t fit. Even though I probably won’t return them. This drove my mom nuts and makes my wife even nutsier. However, I was never able to see their side of the argument …
On paper, having a swimming pool in your yard sounds amazing. Cool off anytime? Sign me up! Wear a bikini or no shirt without feeling self-conscious? All-day long! Not having a wide heavy-duty pool ladder that will support my weight? Ehhhh…. not so much. Not being able to get into (or out of) my own …
I’ll be the first to admit that I was pretty disappointed the first time I saw a hoverboard. I had been hearing about them for a while and expected that they would turn me into the next silver surfer. Seeing something with wheels was a bit of a letdown. However, once I got the hang …
“Time and time again, the most comfortable camping cot is the biggest camping cot…” Fat people aren’t meant to enjoy the outdoors. Or at least that’s the conclusion I came to after my search for the most comfortable camping cot for large adults. I could find lots of extra-wide, double, and even plush-looking cots but …
