8 months ago today 2/16/16, I weighed 391 pounds. [View all]
As of this morning, I'm down to 303 pounds. I want to drop about another 30, which is about 30% of my starting weight.
Why? Because at 61 years old, I've been married Tony wonderful wife for a mere 18 years. I've been the father of my son for a mere 16 years. By any standard that I have, that isn't nearly enough time with either of them. I want to be an old geezer with my wife. I want to be a grandfather with her, too. There are MANY things that I (and we) want to do in my remaining years. None of these things is compatible with. Committing suicide with a fork!
How am I doing this? Eating better and getting some more exercise. No fad diets, gastric bypass or stomach stapling or other surgical intervention. A good deal of stubbornness and determination helps, too! In a few days I expect to be out of the 300s and once there I'm determined to never go back in again.
This is something I rarely say, but I'm proud of myself, but I'll be prouder when I get to where I'm determined to be!
Thanks for reading, and as always...
PEACE!
