Back to weight loss
It's amazing how you view yourself compared to the way you actually look. For a few years, I was on a weight loss program and lost about 40 to 50 pounds. I felt good and the weight slipped off. Then we moved. Then we started looking for a house. Even when I was trying to watch my weight, it wasn't coming off. I got stuck on a plateau. Then my wife got pregnant. Then we moved again into a house. And finally, the baby is here.
And I'm fluctuating between 230 and 240.
I hadn't thought that much about it except the standard, "yeah, need to get back to losing weight," until yesterday. My wife took pictures of me and the baby and I looked at them. I looked fat. Not what my mind thought my body looked like.
The thing that is amazing to me is that I still think of myself as the guy in high school who was about 40 pounds lighter than I am now. But the baby is here. No excuses now. It's time to get back to losing this weight. I'd like to be with my children and my wife for the longest time possible.
Not a heart attack victim at age 50.
