The Adventures of Krystal Kid: Jared who?

Jared who?

For some reason whenever anyone hears of my Krystal story they eventually bring up Jared Fogle. He's that guy who eats Subway sandwiches and lost a lot of weight. I am unsure of the ideas people have but it always seems the topic is brought up like they want some sort of celebrity death match between Jared and I. I've got nothing against the guy. Heck, I'm happy for him. If he hadn't lost weight he'd probably be dead. He was 425 pounds, you know.
For me to accomplish his same feat, I would first have to pack on almost 200 pounds, then turn around and lose 245. I frankly don't see the point. I never ate Krystals to lose weight. I have never eaten Krystals to gain weight. I eat them because I love them. Now, I have gone on a diet and lost a lot of weight at one point, while I continued to eat Krystals on Thursdays. I have contemplated posting that story and pictures here as well, but I don't want to be like one of those TV Infomercials that try to convince you that you are fat and they are your only salvation. People all try to make diets out to be complicated and hard and it's just not so. If you eat less and move more you'll lose weight. It's not rocket science.

Hey, it's called the Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame, people.
Where the hate and hostility comes from, I don't know. Perhaps they don't like or are jealous of Jared, and want someone to punch his lights out. I don't know. Maybe if we all just went to Krystal and sat down to some burgers and chili cheese pups and some of those yummy vidalia onion rings, we'd raise our ice cold Cokes in a toast to health, happiness, and world peace, and the world would be a better place.
It might not work, but it would be a yummy thing to try, anyway!
