My name is Ty,
and I am morbidly obese.

A couple of days ago,
I was talking to my Mom on the phone.

As a loving son, who misses his Mother’s cooking,
I asked her, like I always do, what she had for dinner,
So I can reminisce, how good her cooking was.

She said,
“Oh I don’t eat dinner that much, so I don’t cook a lot.”

I was flabbergasted!
That can’t be right!
My Mom and cooking go together like drugs and alcohol.
(I’m just kidding, She don’t do alcohol.)

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

She said, “Oh I am getting too fat” I need to lose weight.”

Now, for those of you who haven’t seen my Mom,
She is just a tiny little pixie.
I do not know what weight she was talking about.

So anyway,
The weight problem topic quickly shifted towards me,
And she said,

“You need to lose weight too,
especially when you go out looking for work.”

Curiously, I asked, “Why is that?”

She said,
“I read somewhere that they discriminate those who are obese.”

Whew!, good thing I have good sources once I get out in the real world.
That takes off, a whole lot of pressure.

I wonder if they also discriminate those who have thinning hair?
