Those things cost a lot around here. (Hint: average tax rate 40%.) My current contract with the sports center gives me an hour of counseling twice a year. I'll have to think something about it.

Yeah. I'm very lightly built, and I looked normal even when I was 181/68. Now I have some 10-15 kgs of extra fat, mostly around the waist and in the stomach. How does this affect the scheme?
