Fat Guy Follies

It appears that I have been mistaken about the cause of my rapidly expanding waistline. Last weekend was Thanksgiving in Canada, requiring the full on spread and gastro instestinal pressure test. By the time I was finished eating my belly was tighter than the E-String on Connor's guitar.

Dinner was a Butterball Turkey, Cabbage rolls, Mashed Potatoes, Butternut squash, Broccoli Casserole, Brussell Sprouts, Carrots, Homemade Cranberry Sauce ( and a can of store bought for Jerry), and 3 Babe Gravy.

A selection of wines to follow the extra spicy Thanksgiving Ceasars.

And finally we segregated the children for a perfect dinner.

Everyone loaded up and chowed down


Which resulted in the post Turkey Chesterfield Snooze.



However it now appears that the severe discomfort and 3 kg weight gain I experienced had nothing to do with my triple dessert (Pumpkin Carrot Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Triple Berry Pie, Whipped Cream and Ice Cream, topped with Eric's Gummy Worm)

It was because I slept with the light on. Check out this study by Ohio State University. Is says that mice who sleep with a light on gain 50% more weight than those who sleep in the dark. It turns out that I am not fat becuase I eat massive quantities of food, rather it is because I am afraid of the dark, and sleep with a light on. Whew!

Cheers
