Buddha belly!

Sigh... Am I vain? I look at myself in my mirror and I see a healthy "Buddha Belly" as a friend of my calls it.

I gained it from the food excursions in Malaysia. Scary thing is that the shirts that were just right before I left are now a bit tight.

I wonder if Shakyamuni Buddha has a belly... or Nichiren Daishonin? I mean, if they did, then I would feel a bit better... ^.^;

My gf is urging me to exercise - even went to the extent of asking me if I would even exercise at all. My plan is to go swimming at the nearby public pool on a regular basis and she'll join up to a gym there also.

I'm not sure if I am able to follow through with my determination to swim off my "Buddha Belly"... afterall I'm getting kinda fond of it...
