The Goomba Diet: Living Large and Loving It

Hey, goomba! Are you on the Goomba Diet? Do you need to be?

â€¢ Do they put up crime scene tape after you visit the buffet table?

â€¢ Is the air freshener in your car a slice of provolone?

Stop crying! The Goomba Diet is hereâ€”the dolce vita diet that shows you how to eat more, drink more, laugh more, live more, and feel great while youâ€™re doing it. The Goomba Diet offers sensible weight-loss tips for the guy whoâ€™s gone too far:

â€¢ Touch your toes. If this is difficult, pay a guy to do it for you.

â€¢ Walk to court.

It also offers helpful maintenance tips for the goomba whoâ€™s the perfect weight and wants to stay that way:

â€¢ Try an appetite suppressant. Try eating at Applebeeâ€™s.

â€¢ Pick up something heavy. Get a copy of The Da Vinci Code.

â€¢ Cut out those carbs. Only eat pastas that end in the letter i.

The Goomba Diet is the personal lifestyle guide from Steven R. Schirripaâ€”Bobby â€œBacalaâ€ Baccalieri from HBOâ€™s hit series The Sopranos and author of the bestseller A Goombaâ€™s Guide to Life. Developed over decades of dreaming about and then living the high life, itâ€™s a how-to guide for happy livingâ€”how to duke a maÃ®tre d', how to order a good meal, how to be a good father, a good husband and a good friend, and how to behave at a wedding, a funeral, and on the job. You wanna have a good time? Follow these rules:

â€¢ Do tip the maid. Donâ€™t tip the made guy.

â€¢ Do tip the D.J. Donâ€™t tip the D.A.

â€¢ Do tell the bride sheâ€™s beautiful. Donâ€™t tell her sheâ€™s hardly showing.

â€¢ Do give your kids an allowance. Donâ€™t offer to â€œmake it interestingâ€ by shooting craps for double or nothing.

The Goomba Diet is for everyone with an appetite for life, and for everyone who understands that the key to happiness isnâ€™t found in a smaller waistline but in a bigger heart. Like Steve says, â€œThereâ€™s a lot of skinny actors wearing black turtlenecks and tending bar right now whoâ€™d kill for a part on The Sopranos. This fat goomba is doing all right for himself.â€

So relax! Stop worrying about how much youâ€™re eating, and start worrying about how much youâ€™re enjoying it. Lose weight if you likeâ€”but live! Put a fork in your right hand, a hunk of bread in your left, and mangia like you mean it.
