There was a time in my life where I could eat just about anything and it would either be converted into energy or just come out the other end.  After several months of eating ice-cream floats I have learned a great truth about the human body.  When a human enters this world their stomach is lined with a special non stick Teflon coating which lets the good stuff through and kicks out all the bad stuff.  Over time, the special non stick Teflon coating wears off and is not as effective as it was during ages 1-30. 

If you have ever go to your moms house and see the Teflon coated pan she received as a gift for mother’s day 10 years ago, which is still being used to cook eggs a couple times a week, you will know what I mean about the Teflon coating wearing off over time. 

It would seem that the older I get my body seems to retain more of the bad stuff which previously slid right past my Teflon coated stomach lining.  The only logical conclusion to my weight gain is that the Teflon coating in my stomach is wearing out.  I have heard of this condition in other “thirty something year old” friends of mine.  I see many ads in my junk inbox for weight loss programs and pills I could take to lower my weight.  These are obviously supplements to replenish the Teflon coating on the stomach.  It is not my style to take pills to solve my problems so I went running tonight. 

Ran 2.5 miles tonight, temperature was 53 degrees.
