I am a BIG man! Commonly put, I am fat. lol I have made a decision though and am committing myself towards changing that, THIS profile is about Weight Los!. OH, I have tried before, no doubt. This time though, will be different. Weight loss, WEIGHT loss WEIGHT LOSS!I am doing this change in my life in open view of the public. I am even hoping that others on a similar journey or that have "been there" before might join me as friends. Encouragement, tips, advice and just good old fashioned good attitudes invited!I am 6'5" tall and start this diet weighing 448.4 lbs. As many, I have spent the last several years denying how large I truly am (to myself, coudn't deny it to anyone who MET me!)and never giving serious thought or effort to weight loss. Now though, I am noticing my feet swelling when I sit all day at work. I am also noticing it significantly more difficult to BREATHE. Yes, I am killing myself. Suicide by carnal gluttony.My wife and I were home one evening and she commented on something, I don't recall what it even was. But, she said, "you take such good care of me and it seems to give you great joy to do so." I remarked back to her not only that it did, but that it was the greatest honor in my life to do so.Ever since making that comment, about 2 weeks ago, a thought has been plaguing me. I know full well that my weight is killing me and though I honestly just don't give a damn for my own sake, it certainly isn't a reflection of being responsible and taking care of my precious wife. I can't take care of her, provide for her or be her "rock," if I am dead and buried. If I truly MEAN what I say about taking pride in caring for her, than by GOD, I best loose some weight and be around to continue being her husband.So, I am embarking today, on this journey of weight loss which I plan to share with whomsoever wishes to observe it or even partake in it as a friend. I took pictures and notes. Who knows, at some point I may post some of them, but for now do not wish to gross anyone out THAT much.I am not doing this for myself. I have not a care about looking better or thinking I'll feel better if I lose weight. This isn't about reclaiming my life or getting physically fit. I pretty much loathe myself and have for years, I don't expect that to change. This is about being responsible and honoring my committment to take care of my wife, plain and simple. She is shocked, trust me. lol She has nagged, bitched, moaned and begged for years to get me to think seriously abuot weight loss. We were actually at a point where she was leaving me alone and letting me do my thing, but then I had my thought about taking care of her.So, the journey begins today July 10, 2006.NOTE: Any information or statements contained in my profileor blogs are for informational purposes only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or illness.
