Uncommon Sense

i am a slacker.

i slacked off all weekend and failed to write anything in my blog. partly because my eating is out of control and i don't want to admit it. and partly because i didn't know what to say. and partly because i found out hex doesn't qualify for the procedure because his jackass employer doesn't care enough about its employees who need this surgery.

it saddens me.

hector has tried, and tried really hard to lose weight the right way. he's tried way harder than me. he's gone walking and running for miles and miles at woodlawn lake and it just doesn't work. he's eaten sugar free, carb free, fat free, fun free, yum free, taste free, and even food free by way of meal replacement shakes. he needs bigger help than mere diet and exercise can provide.

i don't know why he eats, but i can guess. i do know that we both share the same insatiable hunger that seems to take over all of our senses, common and uncommon.

i don't want to invade his privacy, so from this point forward i will only discuss my issues, but know this: if you work for cps and make decisions about providing health care for your employees, you suck. and you're stupid. it costs more to insure, medicate and maintain people with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol, and the myriad of other issues and co-morbidities that accompany severe weight issues (i don't like the phrase morbid obesity so i won't use it in my blog) than it does to pay for weight loss surgery.

that said, i bid you all good night and good dreams.
