Benefits of Unemployment: Weight Loss

How I Easily Lost 17 Pounds on the Broke-Ass Diet Plan™

If you surfed in here, as many people do, looking for silver linings in the dark clouds of unemployment, you might enjoy this post. You might even find it useful if in some odd course of happenstance you stumbled upon this page while looking for weight loss tips or weight loss secrets. (That is unlikely since there are about 20 million such websites.)

This is my story of losing 17 pounds and attaining my ideal weight by adhering to the Broke-ass Diet Plan™.

Before unemployment introduced me to this amazing diet and exercise regimen, I had always been about 15 pounds above the ideal weight for my height. I carried it pretty well because I am literally big boned. Even so, no matter what I did, I remained a chunky nerd. It did wonders for my self-esteem, as you can probably tell by reading the earliest posts on this very blog.

That puffy geek is dead and gone thanks to the wonders of The Broke-Ass Diet Plan™!

This program literally changed my life forever, helping me to take the weight off and keep it off!

Today my big bones protrude proudly from my frame, and I feel beautiful and sexy at last! At 188 pounds, I am at the top end of my ideal weight range, down from 205, but I look a lot skinnier. Yes, I have finally achieved that too-skinny look that I have sought all these years as a kind of Holy Grail. You know the look, the one usually only attained by Hollywood starlets and cancer patients undergoing aggressive chemotherapy.

Thanks to The Broke Ass Diet Plan™, I am fit to walk the runway in New York, Paris, Milan, or any major fashion show in all the world. That's right: This program made all my dreams of skinniness come true, and it made it all so easy!

How did I do it? I simply stuck to the easy-to-follow (easy because you have no choice, really) recommendations proscribed by The Broke-Ass Diet Plan™, namely:

  • Ride a bike or walk because you can no longer afford (nor do you need) a car. I'm getting far more exercise than I ever did when I had a car and a gym membership.
  • Eat for nourishment, not pleasure. Nowadays, if I have three bucks in my pocket and the choice is bananas or donuts, I'm going to go with the bananas, hands-down. It used to be a toss-up. Economic deprivation sometimes helps you make the smarter choice.
  • Skip a meal now and again. I don't enjoy this part of the Broke-Ass Diet Plan™, but believe it or not it doesn't kill you to have a rumbling stomach for a few hours.
  • Quit drinking beer. Oddly, I don't miss it at all. Surely a few fat cells melted away like my savings account without regular direct deposits from alcohol.

That's it in a nutshell. If you want it all, you should check back here for the forthcoming e-book, The Broke-Ass Diet Plan, which will be available for a limited time only exclusively at Survive Unemployment dot com for only $9.99. It's going to be very funny. Please don't buy it if you're broke, though. You don't need it.

At any rate, if you're unemployed, there's your silver lining for the day.

If you're not broke and have no intention of becoming broke, just do it the hard way. (Disclosure: If by some miracle someone buys that product after clicking that link, I will make a few bucks. I guess we bloggers have to disclose this stuff now, and I guess that's a good thing on net. Really, though, I don't think I'm in any danger of anyone ever actually purchasing that product through this site. Frankly, if you want killer abs, you should probably just do some sit-ups every day.)
