The world is filled with oddities
There is a fat man's soccer league in Texas.
Seriously. It's for fat guys.
In order to join you must be over 18 and have a body mass index of 21.5. And pay$99 a month.
The teams have punny names, like Fat Man City, Mission Slimpossible, Butterball World...to name a few.
I thought it sounded pretty weird, but some of the men have had amazing results. One guy said he lost 70 pounds over the couple of years he has been playing. Others reported 30 and 40 pound loses.
And you don't have to leave the league if you lose a lot of weight.
They don't play on a regulation size pitch, and the ball can be played if it hits the wall around the playing field.
A benefit beyond weight loss is the friendships that have been formed.
It just seemed a weird, but effective, program.
We have people come in the morning too help. Usually they get Jackie dressed. Sometimes I opt out the clothes, other times they choose the outfit.
Jackie got dressed and was sitting at the breakfast nook table. I went in and showered and got dressed.
I walked out and heard, "Oh my gosh, you guys are wins!"
Sure enough. I put on a dark green top, the same shade and design she had.
I got dressed today and put on another green top, just a shade lighter.
I went to visit my sister in law and my nephew is there wearing a shirt the same color as mine!
I went home and told Jackie that I got my new shirt in the mail and I can add a lighter color to my shirt choice.
I opened the package and ..... it's olive green!
I now have 5 long sleeve shirts one shade of green or another.
Kermit was wrong! It is easy being green!
Note to self: No more green shirts!!
Peace and Love
