I do not know if it is just my imagination or because of the fact that I am getting fat that I noticed my officemates have lost weight while I have been gone. So far I have seen three older officemates who seemed to have lost weight in the past year. Maybe they have discovered secret diets for quick weight loss or maybe they are suffering from office-related stress because of the new administration that started a few months before I left. The new chairman, although not so new now, is quite demanding and wants things done yesterday. Stress is a double edged sword because its effect can be losing those unwanted pounds or it can lead to gaining additional pounds depending on its effect on you.
