I just put a new hole in my belt. I couldn’t find a nail, so I had to hammer a screw through it (which is really hard). My tightest pants are loose on me. Progress!
And I’m eating on about ten dollars a week now. The black bean soup in conjunction with a few filler foods for variation (bread, rice, etc.) lets me have a ton of food, eat well, and still get by on $10 a week. I have talents and abilities beyond those of wealthy men.

The wealthy men may not be able to accomplish that, but, of course, nor do they probably want to. Still, that’s a hella low figure of money. That takes dedication, all. I’ve never tried to eat on that kind of budget. Strike that—I’ve never tried to eat well on that kind of budget. My times of low debenture have been marked by $.85 cans of chili and Chef Boyardee assorted pasta-inspired food products swimming in a deep pool of tomato-inspired goo, with small granules of meat-inspired pebbles in suspension. And oatmeal, bananas, carrots, water, and all the free food I can possibly cobble together (Friday is doughnut day at work). Have you considered adding other fruits and vegetables to your diet of beans, onions, bread, rice, etc.? And congratulations on the screwhole. The times in my life when I’ve tried successfully to lose weight (at times I have been porky), it really does inspire one to keep on with it and feel good. Amazing how that works.
I ought to add in other foods, but that requires more creativity in how to prepare them. I’m not really a fan of just eating a piece of fruit, so I’d rather mix them up into something.

Wow $10 a week is certainly cheap, I commend you lucas
Also frodo, in your comment it said Chef Boyardee I hope you are talking about Chef Boyardee’s Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa….Bringing it back to games 
I hear Shut Up and Jam: Ragnarok is coming out for the PS3.

Wow, that’s fantastic! Good for you. I, meanwhile, keep having to buy bigger clothes and am getting broker by the week. *sigh* Come on, willpower, where the hell are you?!
Alright then, I guess I’m writing a guide.

That’s awesome! Another good way to put a hole in there is to take a knife (just a kitchen knife will usually work) and begin spinning it to make the hole. Then when the tip is through, turn it around and go in the other way. Not as fast as hammering it with a nail, but it gets the job done. I’ve also used a pair of scissors, at my desk.
I ended up using a knife to make the initial hole, then I screwed in the screw to widen it.
