My stomach was surgically removed a decade ago because I have a mutant gene that predisposes me to stomach cancer.
This should have made me skinny as a rail, since I must now eat much smaller meals and chew each bite forever.

But it turns out I'm a miracle!
I may not feel hungry, but I still quite enjoy the taste of food. This, combined with a lifetime of bad snacking habits (and the fact that highly processed foods like chips and crackers are easiest for me to eat) has led me to *gain* weight.

Problem is, I'm weak-willed. So I'm going to try something new.

So, here's my first weigh-in: 194.4 pounds.
I need to drop to 164 in order to not be considered overweight for my height, gender, age.
Let's see how this goes, shall we?

If none of this is of interest to you, apologies in advance--feel free to just ignore my first tweet of the day.
Also: If you have any questions about my lack of stomach, feel free to ask. It always seems to fascinate, and I enjoy telling people about it.
