Health issue’s force Victoria’s Buffet King to call it quits
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VICTORIA, B.C | JULY 30, 2009 - - Guy Alaimo, the main writer and creator of the Victoria Buffet Blog, has called it a career and is retiring from the world of buffet reviewing at the age of 24 citing declining overall health.
In an interview conducted with the CBC mere months after launching the blog, Alaimo mentioned heart palpitations and other health issues he suffered due to extreme overeating. Sadly the sound of those palpitations has grown too loud to ignore.
“I just got out of hand,” says Alaimo. “I was obviously suffering from a severe eating disorder, and I was channeling that energy into my blog. It’s time to get serious and change my life if I plan on being alive in a few years.”
Alaimo provided the people of Victoria with one of the city’s first specialized food review blogs, reviewing every buffet restaurant in the city in just over a year of service.
As of July 29, 2009, Alaimo tipped the scales at 270 pounds, 50 pounds more than what he weighed when the Victoria Buffet Blog debuted in March, 2008.
Alaimo is also a contributing writer for the Victoria Burger Blog, though it is not known whether he plans on retiring from his burger reviewing career as well.

Thanks for a wonderful read. I encourage you to continue writing, and perhaps blog about your healthy eating adventures too. You're certainly not alone in having a struggle with weight.
All the best,
thanks for your kind words patricia. it was not an easy decision.

Agreed. Best of luck to your future and becoming a leaner and meaner muscle in the blogging community!
I second the healthy eating blog! I hope someone does take over for you here, though. Best of luck, I know it's a really hard journey but well worth it in the end!
Say it ain't so! Despite the claim that you had reviewed "every buffet restaurant in the city in just over a year of service", there were still so many more to do!
The good times are over. . .
You had a great run. Thank you. So enjoyed the blog!
Fuck you Patrica, Edo, and Anonymous. Healthy eating? Where do you people get off suggesting healthy eating in a buffet blog? Why don't you cunts kill yourselves. Guy, if you are going to go, go happy - go with with 9 thai spring rolls in your mouth.
yeah i agree. i miss those rolls
Uhhhhm wow. Wasn't suggesting that THIS blog be about healthy eating. Was suggesting a NEW one get started, because I enjoy Guy's writing. But whatever. Thanks for being a dickhead about it, Anonymous2. PS. I miss spring rolls too. "healthy" ones suck some serious ass. (Blog title perhaps? "Healthy Eating Sucks Ass")
