I am Jabba the Hut

[Platypus]

My BMI is 30 so borderline overweight/obese but BUPA accepted me without a qualm cost is £75 a month ish and I specifically told them I smoke and need cover for heart attacks. Ah ha they said, you need this plan ....

Anyway I'm trying to quit smoking AGAIN at the moment ... "You've now been a non-smoker for 4 days 11 hours and 28 minutes"

Given how much more looking after your portly frame costs I'd count yourself lucky to be paying the same. I'm subsidising your pie habit I am.

Last time I was in hospital, in the mid 60s to have a third set of front teeth removed, the surgeon had a bowler hat and a pocket watch on a gold chain in his striped waistcoat. So I wouldn't say I've been much of a burden on the NHS.

Mind you, I wouldn't say you were that portly IIRC.

Last (only) time I was in there I had a go on nearly every diagnostic machine they had. Must have cost a fortune

I was inside IR35 for a few years though so they still owe me new hips when the time comes.

Jeez, how frickin hard is it to lose weight? Just eat less - it ain't rocket science.

Duh! We know that.

Food is not the problem. It's the gallons of beer and wine

Talking of which, early doors at my local

This is true. Do you think 25% of your daily calorie allowance from alcohol sounds reasonable?

FTFY.

I must have destroyed about 5000 calories today.

Diet and exercise, it's the only way. Do it seriously for a bit then diet during the week and eat what you like at weekends. Works for me.
