[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 2245487, member: 42691"] I've said this until I'm blue in the face, but feeders doesn't make you fat. You make you fat. The fact that your activity level drops drastically means you need to have a plan when you come back to feeders. If you don't exercise, eat healthy and rely on the high activity of package to keep you thin, you're gonna have problems when you get back to feeders. But again, that is a YOU problem, not a feeder problem. You would be in the same situation in a office job. Personally, I see it as an issue of age. For the most part, you need some seniority to get back to feeders, which usually means older age. And no matter what job you have, you have to take care of yourself, with both exercise and healthy living. It's a shame so many feeder drivers fall into the trap, but it's their life, I guess. I was into healthy eating and working out before I came back, so the transition wasn't hard for me. I did, however, need to adjust my diet by eating less calories even with exercise. It's hard to overestimate how many calories you burn running a package car route. I imagine a driver retiring from package car would be in trouble too, if he didn't adjust his routine. [/QUOTE]
