that sure does count...
however i still have one pair of pants from high school that i put on
from time to time to see how fat i'm getting...
i was doing ok until about five years ago ...but i've only gained about
5 pounds in the last 30 years so that's not too bad.

BTW: I graduated from high school in 1967 !

We are around the same age then, I've gained a couple more pounds than
that but as I was stick thin in my youth it's not too bad a thing!
