And you know the heifer is not trying to lose the last couple of pounds before it's ready for a bodybuilding contest. It's probably massively overweight so to start losing weight -- even if it wants to do it gradually -- it is just a matter of: Week #1: don't eat that daily 5th slice of cake Week #2: don't eat that daily 4th slice of cake ... Week #6: cut back from 12 donuts/day to 11 Week #7: cut back from 11 donuts/day to 10 ... And so on. But of course it has no intention of losing weight, all it wants is to come up with some BS reasons to not even try because hey, it likes cake and donuts.
