Future waffle stomper at work tried to go on a bike ride So, my coworker who is slowly eating his way to a shot at my 600lbs life stardom tried to go on a bike ride this past weekend. This man is 5'9", he just discovered he is 274lbs (that's a BMI of 40.46, morbidly obese), he has very high blood pressure (he doesn't take his medication because he thinks he can "feel it coming" and can just calm down), he has sleep apnea, he has a diabetes ring on his neck (but won't get checked). Needless to say I was a little shocked that he even had a bike since bicycles aren't free and you can buy plenty of deep fried sticks of butter for the price of a bike, but hey... maybe he decided to try to get fit! Nope, of course not. It turns out Chubbs McFatFat bought it for a bike ride with his wife and her co-workers (sponsored by their company as a healthy-living initiative). Well, him and his even bigger wife (who has had a gastric bypass already) drove down to the national park where the bike ride was taking place, when they couldn't find anybody they called and found out that they were at the wrong entrance because "no one told them they were meeting at another entrance" (yet everyone else, every single other person, managed to figure it out and go straight there... this is a recurring problem with him, he doesn't read instructions and then blames everyone else for "not telling him").  Since it was time to start the ride and they were at the park but at a different entrance they decided they weren't meeting her coworkers.  Fair enough, a nice relaxing bike ride with the wife through a beautiful national park sounds like a reasonable alternative to making everyone else wait for them and stressing out about the situation. I probably would've done something similar and just biked down to wherever the group was headed and just meet up with them there. That's not what they did though, they packed up the bikes, left the park and headed down to a place famous for their sticky buns and cinnamon rolls and pigged out instead. He's telling me this story on the same conversation where he told me he's the fattest he's ever been at 274 lbs, and that he needs to lose 80lbs (he actually needs to lose 105 before he get into the normal BMI range, I checked), and that a year ago him and his wife made a pledge to lose 20 lbs before a work event coming up next week and "they've lost 0." That's one way to put it they've gained, since 274 is "the heaviest he's ever been". Anyway, I don't know that there's much of a point to this story, I just wanted to vent... These fucking people will grab onto any excuse to avoid the slightest bit of exercise, even a relaxing bike ride through a national park. Pathetic.
