The Man In Grey Loses A Few…

Enjoying some much needed downtime in a busy day the man in grey pinstripes picks up the phone to reconnect with an old and dear friend. On the third ring his friend answers, “Hello.”

“Alex. It’s Jim. How’s things with you?,” the man in grey says.

After a few minutes of small talk, Alex says, “I’m really going great. Thanks… and how about you? Things good for you?”

The man in grey answers, “You know, doing alright. Best thing is I’ve lost about 30 pounds in the last year and I’m really feeling great, physically.”

“Wow! Good for you… been dieting?,” asks Alex. 

“No diet—it’s actually been really easy. I’ve just been eating three very portion controlled meals every day, basically box-meals that I have same times every day. It’s no smorgasbord but I’ve learned to make the best of it all and the weight loss is a big upside.”

“Oh! You’re doing that meal ‘System’ thing?,” asks Alex.

“Oh no. Actually, I’m in federal prison,” replies the man in grey pinstripes just as a distant third voice comes over the phone saying, “This call is being made from a federal correctional institute…”

Moral is there are benefits to not being in control. Fact is some people need to hand over the power and control to another. For some it’s every aspect of their lives, for others it’s their nutrition.

As hard as it may be to believe, some people can’t handle freedom!

For those who can, there’s Full Strength.
