    Barkley showing temporary discipline with paid weight loss,will he quit gambling too?

    Barkley probably got paid a mill or 2 for his huge weight loss from being a Weight Watchers celebrity endorsee and he needed the money for covering gambling losses.What are the odds he will be fired for packing pounds back on even before his contract runs out? It's a given that he will be bigger two years from now then ever before.He's going to make Weight Watchers look pathetic.

    Weight Watchers hires pathetic dysfuncionates to lose weight like Kirstie Allie and especially Marie Osmond.Hell,Marie Osmond was in show biz since she was a kid and without even trying she should have been worth 100 mill.No,she went bankrupt and then had to do Weight Watcher ads,infomercials touting other junk on tv and performing at every little podunk Indian casino in the hinterlands.All this while her family was falling apart where her son committed suicide.Instead of worrying about looking good,maybe Marie should have managed her money right where she could have retired and been taking care of her family enjoying life instead of hawking junk on tv.

    It should be impossible to be fat if you are rich.You never have to eat filler crap food with wheat,sugar,starches.etc.like poor people.You can eat shrimp all day long while you are burning off calories having fun doing rich people hobbies,recreatin and gallavanting.If you want a huge filet mignon,just eat the center of it and toss the rest with marbling to your dog.

    He lost weight because of the gamble, not in spite of it.

    No way just heard him on philly sports talk the other day saying how he usually throws about 100k on the superbowl. Figured it would be a ton more than that but no way he gives up gambling. You obviously saw him openly talking about his bets on NBC the past weekend.

    Never tell people what you are betting. Others will hope you lose

    Barkley is more addicted to gambling than he is to food. Food, he could give up.

    Barkley should be able to afford the gambling. The weight loss is more important and poor health can kill him. Let the man have a vice.
