I remember a comedian was once ranting about skiing. He was black, and joking about how cold it was, and how there are no other black people on the slopes. And, he said, as he arrived at the lodge, finally, with num apendages, there was a fat white guy standing outside . . . in a T-Shirt . . . sweating.

That was me. I was always warm. Usually hot. But, when I dropped about 20-30 lbs, I can now feel cold. Blubber works. Without it, I can comfortably wear an undershirt. In the winter, I can wear a sweater. I’m . . . . actually . . . normal.

Very cool, unexpected side effect.
