Less than a man
I admit it, I'm a little self-conscious about my weight. But with me it's because I am (arguably) underweight. If any of you are going to start saying "oh boo-hoo, I WISH I had that problem!", STFU; you don't know what you're talking about. Part of my insecurity may have to do with a co-worker who comes up to me once every 2 weeks and says "You weigh HOW much? That's not a man's weight! That's a teenage girl's weight!" (he has a flare for the dramatic.)
Brad is training for a triathlon in November; it's a 0-mile swim, a 0-mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run. He's tracking his weight loss and running progress with a nice little chart:
Since I am training for the same event, I thought I would superimpose my data on to his chart. Unfortunately, if I maintain the same scale my weight winds up here:
That's just not right.

What can I say? I'm a big man.
A friend in high school had some serious issues as a youngster. He could easily eat a couple extra value meals every day and never gain an ounce.
After graduation, some specialists put him on a regimen of specialized diets and working out (by diet, I mean high calorie, high protein nutritional plans). A few years later he had gone from lightweight and rail thin to looking like a professional linebacker.
I have the same problem when training. I tend to be about 5-8 lbs lower then my wife likes me to be.
So every time she mentions it I say "I'll eat better Honey, now can you grab me another beer?"
Maybe I'll try that. The next time Travis criticizes my weight, I'll tell him "I'll eat better Honey, now can you grab me another beer?"
Somehow I don't think that would go over well.
You know, eating... anything might help. I noticed you left out your rather persnickety eating habits from this blog entry.
Why complain...i am light too but when i climb up hill with ease while other struggle...damn i love being light....or lighter :)
It's not nice to tell your gentle readers to STFU.
I still wish I had that problem....
