Have you all quit smoking, lost ten pounds, and faithfully consumed your daily rations of five-to-ten servings of fruits and vegetables? You have? That's super! You deserve a reward. What type of reward? Well, really, living well is its own reward, isn't it? So just keep on keepin’ on and you're guaranteed to continuously reap the benefits of your newfound lifestyle. As for the rest of us, well, we're pretty much doomed, so we might as well enjoy our fall from grace. Hey, I don't make the rules; I just adhere to the ones that benefit me. So, to everyone who has recently slipped from non-smokers to “only-when-I-drink” smokers to “just-at-work” smokers to “fuck-it—pass-the-ashtray” smokers, I say: smoke'em if you got'em. To all of those people who've been subsisting on cabbage soup and garden salads with fat-free dressing on the side for the past 18 days—don't panic. If you leave now, you can still find plenty of holiday chocolates available at clearance prices. And, if you've done something rash like purchased a gym membership, well I suppose you could still go just to hangout and watch strangers shower. So join me, and we can all give up together. It doesn't work if only some of us cave— the last thing quitters need are a bunch of self-righteous non-quitters looking down on them. Don't worry about being judged by others for your lack of will power or diminish- ing health and appearance—it's not your fault, it's society's. Yes, society's. Society is trying to keep us down. To turn us all into a herd of pink-lunged, tofu eaters with toned abs. But we're not like the others, are we? We're not going to fall in line and let society win. Oh sure, we may live longer, but at what cost? Doesn't society realize how cool we look when we smoke? Hasn't society ever enjoyed a hearty breakfast of chocolate doughnuts and margaritas? Isn't it time society admitted that watching television from a treadmill is not the same as watching it from the couch? Oh it's time baby, it's time. So put down that celery, tear off that nicotine patch, and trade in those cross-trainers for a pair of hot stilettos—'cuz we're going to celebrate the new New Year, and this one won't be followed by an unrealistic guilt-inducing period of self deprivation. No, 2006-B will be all about you doing what you want to do when you want to do it. That may mean you will be fat and cancer-ridden in 2007—but you'll bridge that cross when you're nailed to it.
