FatPacking

No, the definition of FatPacking will not be found in Urban Diction (I checked) and this has nothing to do with larding a roast. I learned about this last week when I received an email from a friend with 'Fatpacking' as the subject. The body of email contained a link and said ‘want to give this a try?’ Having no regard for the so-called work filter, I was intrigued and clicked on the link.

Hmmm...interesting…

FatPacking = A week long camping trip with the goal of weight loss. Designed for adults 10-60lbs overweight. *Participants must be comfortable carrying a 50lb pack at a moderate incline for 5-6 hrs a day.

After recently watching the Whitney Houston-Oprah Winfrey interview I channeled my inner Whitney and replied with a, ‘Hell to No!’ and ‘How did heck did you find out about this?’

Her response, “I have some vacation time I need to use before the end of the year so I google’d ‘Adult Fat Camp.’”

Give me thirty seconds and I can come up with several week long alternatives I’d rather try before siging up to FatPack.

1. 7 Colonics in 7 Days
2. Rehab
3. Tape Worm
4. Swine Flu

Plus, why go Fatpacking when Squeem-wearing weather is just around the corner? Those extra pounds will be cinched away in a matter of seconds!

*Update: I just returned from a trip with a cousin who is about to give birth. At 5’5’ and 9 month pregnant she weighs the same as my ‘goal weight’ (which as of this morning I’m 5'2" and a good 10+ lbs away from). Does anyone know where I could buy a good camping pack?
