Lawyer 2.0

…your doctor prescribes Dunkin’ Donuts.

For those of you who don’t know me, Lawyer 2.0 is a little bit roly-poly.  “Festively plump,” as Cartman would say.  OK, I admit it, I’m fat.  Not “one porterhouse away from God” fat, but certainly I’ve been heading in that direction.  It would seem that year after year of sitting at a desk and poring over cases/documents/memos/etc. has not been kind to my physique.  Neither has my complete lack of physical activity or my overwhelming preference for cheeseburgers over salad.  As I am fond of saying “I won’t even run for a cheeseburger — and I love cheeseburgers.”

Anyhow, some tests came back with some results that aren’t great and my doctor is suggesting I lose weight.  After discussing my eating habits, she thinks that part of the problem is that I typically skip breakfast and then overeat at lunch and dinner.  I also tend to eat dinner late (because I tend to work late, naturally).

Her suggestion: sausage and egg on an English muffin from Dunkie’s in the morning.  Snacks with protein in them between meals.  Cutting out sugary sodas and extraneous carbs (like chips with my sandwich at lunch).  And, of course, portion control.

I’ll probably need to do something more extreme if I want to lose serious weight, but I think this is a good start for now.
