A quick refresher course: About 3 months ago I was visiting a friend in Thailand that I have known for over 20 years. He and I had always been of similar size and over the years I have gotten bigger and so has he because well, we are 20 years older than when we first met. However, this time I was substantially larger than him and it has been this way in the past, but this time it was more noticeable to me because his girlfriend is a pharmacist and has one of those super-accurate scales that costs a lot of money. When it read out that I was over 98 kg (over 215 lbs) and while he had a bit of a belly, he was nowhere near that bad.
