When I first got out of college, I got a job working as a sales representative at a retail store. I was on my feet all day, every day, running like crazy. I did that for about a year before I traded it in for my first desk job. It was at this job that I started putting on weight. I have worked my way through several jobs now, but they have all been at a desk. At every one I have gotten fatter.
The genes in my family are such that any weight that I put on goes straight to my belly. About a year ago, my belly got so big that I was no longer able to bend over and tie my shoes comfortably anymore. I struggled with trying to contort my body into all sorts of weird angles to get my shoes up to tying height. Pulling my foot underneath me, crossing my legs, bending my leg back behind me, etc., etc. I finally got tired of this, and bought some slip-ons.
What? Did you actually think I was going to start working out to lose weight?!
