Fat Chance

by Nick Spalding

It happens because life gets in the way. Because at some point, unless you’re blessed with a bank balance that ends in a lot of zeros, you stop looking at yourself in the mirror because you’re too damn busy looking at the bills.

How many times over the years have I substituted standing up for myself with chocolate cake?

How on earth can we ever expect our society to get thinner when no-one is making any effort to make the healthy food cheaper than the toxic, fatty stuff that’s creating a nation of tubby fuckers with too many fillings?

There’s something tremendously freeing about running in the nude.

We all have different tolerances, strengths, and weaknesses, and it’s only through trial and error that you arrive at the right method for you.

It’s the small victories that count the most. They tend to add up to big ones if you give them half a chance.
