    A nice compliment from a stranger.

    I was at the store this afternoon picking up supplies for next week when the gal behind the deli counter asked me "Has anyone ever told you you look like Jared, the Subway guy?" I chuckled and responded no. The gal who was currently at the counter turned around and looked at me saying "Oh, no. You're much thinner than he is." I could have kissed her on the spot.

    On a side note, I don't think I look much like the guy heh.

    Being in the Uk, I have absolutely no idea who this Jared guy is, but nonetheless, its always nice to get a compliment like that. Way to go. Heres to many more over the next few months.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

                  Well let's see a picture. I was looking through the before and after pictures (quite a while ago) on this site and I noticed that someone looked a lot like Jarod. Maybe that was you.

                        To the deli counter lady: I'm sorry.


                        Tom is cute. And definitely thinner.

                        Jared is soooo not!

                        Also, Jared always looks hungry, doesn't he? All those ding-danged carbs... He looks like he's always going to eat the cue cards.
