"I was really fat and really broke after college, so I decided to live on 800 calories a day."

"I ended up losing 160 poounds [sic] and, eventually, digging myself out of debt."

It's funny -- isn't it? -- how few people go with the idea of a combined strategy for saving money and losing weight. It's so odd it made a saleable book project.

Of course, we all somehow instinctively know that it's in terrible taste even to hint that overweight individuals with financial troubles ought to buy less food. See? You can't even write "fat poor people." ← I only wrote that to say you can't write that. Please. Really. Don't hate me.
