At six feet two...
Illustration
At six feet two inches and close to 300 pounds, Tom was a
confirmed "couch potato." He wasn't particularly proud of the
fact, but he just didn't have the willpower to do anything about
it. He didn't want to be so overweight, but exercise took too
much effort. And he loved to eat.
Of course, what he loved to eat was an additional part of his
problem. He was convinced that there was some universal law
mandating that anything which tasted good was bad for you.
Surely someplace within his massive corporeal self there was a
thin person screaming to get out. Tom was certain of that, too.
But Tom-the-couch-potato had the upper hand, so Tom-the-skinny-
person was just going to have to live within the pounds of flesh,
or find the ultimate miracle -- a diet that worked!
