As I sit here in the lobby of the , Old Man Winter has taken over outside.听 The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the leaves are off the trees, and there is a bit of snow on the ground.听 It is lovely out there.
听
And you know what?听 Winter never used to phase me.听 Last year, I had my extra layers that I couldn't take off, but now鈥ow I am affected by something that I haven鈥檛 experienced in a very long time鈥he cold.

When I started gaining weight in Montr茅al, perhaps it was not because of my awkward way of dealing with emotional issues and food fetish, perhaps it was just a survival technique.听 I arrived back in La Belle Ville one very sunny and humidly hot August.听 Then in September, I started plumping up in preparation for the coming winter.听 I indulged on steam茅s, poutine, pizza and fries (it鈥檚 weird, but it happens in Montr茅al, don鈥檛 ask me why) rather than acorns, berries, and seeds.听 There鈥檚 a reason that the all the months leading up to the Canadian deep freeze end in BER鈥hough personally, I think they should end in BRRR鈥n Qu茅bec, however, they would probably end in 鈥渂eurre鈥� and be 1 and a 陆 times larger than the rest of the word.听 But, when the temperature fell, I was alright.听 PERK:听 Gain 15 pounds September through December?听 Wear 1 less layer under your wool coat this January!听 Come to think of it, why didn鈥檛 I just go into hibernation?听 I could have avoided the cold altogether!听听听

Now, I can鈥檛 leave the house without fleece or down or wool.听 It鈥檚 a bit ridiculous鈥ow am I supposed to be a stylish Montr茅aler who still wears leather in negative 20 degrees Celsius if I don鈥檛 have natural insulation to keep me warm?听 I suppose I鈥檒l have to come to terms with the fact that I will now feel the cold鈥nd be less appetizing to roaming bands of cannibals鈥nless they are health-conscience and prefer a lower fat option.
