We salute you, Mr. Semi-Permanent Food Baby Guy

Today, we salute you Mr. Semi-Permanent Food Baby Guy…keeper of the double standard.  You want your wife to look like Halle Berry but it’s okay if you look like Larry the Cable Guy.  You wonder why your wife lost her girlish figure but you can’t figure out why you just ate your fourth Krispy Kreme.  While your wife is at least thinking about losing weight, you’re at the “All You Can Eat Buffet” telling the cashier, “I’ll take two of those, please.” That’s right, Mr. Double Standard, go ahead and get your semi-permanent food baby on.

Let’s think about this real men of genius…

Guys, how about we take a long, side-view look in the mirror?  We complain to the each other that we’ve lost a step playing softball, but it’s hard to admit that we don’t exactly look like we can pull off the cover of Men’s Health.

Let’s be completely honest.  We put too much emphasis on the physical part of being married.  It’s what guys do.  It’s time for a reality check.  Very few of us look like we did in our honeymoon pictures.  It’s sad, but we want our wives to still look like they did back in the day…before three kids, two C-sections, and hardly any time to slow down and eat a balanced meal.  Sure, my wife doesn’t look like she did in our honeymoon pictures, but neither do I.  I weighed a buck twenty-nine when we got married.  Let’s just say I weigh more than that now….

So before we get all stupid, how about us guys doing something about the semi-permanent food baby we have strapped to our waist?  Start walking.  Join a gym.  Eat less and eat healthier.  Just say no when the “hot light” is on.  How about being a leader instead of a whiner.  Man up.  Who knows what will happen when you start losing those pounds?

So, how about it?  What are you willing to commit to do to look better right now, in writing, for the entire Internet to see?  Well….?
