I have never been heavier than I am right now at almost 60 kgs, which is about 5-6 kgs heavier than what I ought to be. I have never had a problem with my weight before, and therefore dealing with this is unchartered territory. Of course I know what the answer to that is: to get up early in the morning and go for at least long walks sustained at a furious pace. But even the prospect of an approaching lifetime being over-weight is not enough to motivate me to give up on one pleasure of life that I still cling to: waking up late in the morning, postponing the beginning of the day till it can't be ignored any longer, the feel of the soft duvet against my skin on cold winter mornings..
