OK, so I've lost some weight. I'm getting to the point at which I like to see some improvement in the shape department.
The day I decided to turn things around I would have described my appearance in terms of relatable objects- major appliances, ocean-going vessels, large land and ocean born animals, containers that could accommodate such things, and vehicles capable of transporting the containers. I was big.
I was 6'5" and carrying close to 400 pounds- and I don't care how it's stacked, it was a lot of weight to carry around. Looking at old pictures is an embarrassing Lilliputian spectacle in which I'm the Gulliver "who let himself go" in glaring contrast to all those around me. I use those pictures as motivation.
This journey has been one of shrinkage. Shrinking my appetites and shrinking dimensionally- I've done a little of both. Twenty-eight pounds to go in order to reach the goal I set for myself.
Congrats at being so close to your goal!
Thank you!
