Answer: Am I going senile? I think you answered your own question. Or maybe I should coddle you and tell you don’t worry everything will be all right like Richard Simmons did for all those years and watched the fat women get fatter. I get questions like this all the time. If you are “working out” 3 days a week and eating healthy you should and will lose fat. It’s obvious to me that you making friggin’ excuses and you’re really not doing those things or you would not be writing in to me. Eating healthy means keeping your portions down to a reasonable size. Biggie sizing even healthy food can cause fat gain. “I know Rocco, but I’m hungry (whining)” and I say (in the same voice) I know and you’re still FAT”. Your portions should not be larger than the top of your hand when you make a fist (and don’t extend the top of your hand over your watch, because that, for the idiots out there, is your arm). If you notice not everyone has the same size hand. And wouldn’t you know that’s because not everyone is supposed to have the same portions. Friggin’ brilliant!

Now, let’s look at the exercise portion of your question, or not, because you aren’t. The intensity of your exercise is not what it should be. Just because you sweat at the gym does not mean you’re exercising. They could have just forgot to turn on the air conditioning and you’ll sweat like a pig and not see one ounce come of your chubby little body. Here’s the problem, too many people go to the gym and they think that’s all it takes. That’s simply not true. You need to actually do some work there, if you’re going to accomplish anything. Try going to your job and play solitaire on your computer all day and see if you don’t get fired, if you don’t, you have an idiot for a boss. Just think of these last ten pounds as your body firing you. Stop playing solitaire with your body and do some work. If you don’t know how to work harder at exercise than e-mail me and place “Boot Camp Workout” in the subject line and I’ll show you how. Then if you still have the 10 pounds on you then I’m the idiot. Deal or no deal?
