I'm glad you posted this. :D
I'm 37,and from an early age,was relatively thin,but not skinny.I alway's wished i would get a bit...well, FATTER.
Then one day,the good lord sent me an accident form,and my back went boing.

I couldn't do the same job,so became..oh oh...YES..a

TAXI DRIVER!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaargh,i hear you say;throw him out!
I soon got my wish.A tubby belly and a good excuse not to do situps.

My pc sit's right beneath a food cupboard,and worst of all,the one that contains biscuits and cakes.The taxi job gives me more time,and as the pc has made me hungry for free knowledge,it's getting much too much use.I'm now about 14 1/2 stone,or 200lb's,and at the time of accident,weighed in at about 12 -13.I've noticed when i'm sitting down,my guitar is now at a different angle than it used to be,whilst on my lap.

At the same time ,i've noticed left wrist ache,and figured the new angle was causing this.I'm no fatty,but i reckon my belly is GETTING in the way,lol.
I should stand up all the time,but hey..remember my bad back,lol.

Is it gonna get worse if i'm not carefull,to the degree where my

Belly

is gonna get me,and my playing?
Sax players,do not have this problem,lol.
