Everything Is Bigger In Texas

Including my gut. It is true: all the fried chicken, tex-mex, and barbeque here are giving me "extra padding." I have literally put on about 7-10 lbs. in the eight months we have been here. So I have taken drastic measures and actually put myself on a Weight Watchers program for men to help me get a better handle on my portion sizes (their Flex Plan seems to be the best and most practical program I have come across). Can I admit that as a guy...that I actually joined Weight Watchers? In all actuality, I truly believe that eating has been a coping strategy for us since we have moved down here from Denver. There is comfort in food when facing enormous amounts of change and stress, which can become dangerous.
