Losing weight...
So, I have been on or around 200 lbs for quite a while now. The funny thing about this is that most people would never even think I weigh as much as I do. I am 6 feet tall, and actually a bit lanky. Yet, in the last five years I have weighed as much as 225 lbs. There was even a health scare I had then, which is what shook me up and made me take my health more seriously.
Nothing wakes you up more than your doctor asking you if you would like to live until the age forty.
Well, now I am 38. My health is much improved, but I am still a bit consistant with it. My "wall" has been 200 lbs. I have not been under 200 in 5 years, and that was very short lived. So when I woke up yesterday and saw that I weighed 199.8 lbs, I was thrilled. I still have so much in life that I want to accomplish, and I cannot do that I have heart problems, due to being stupid.
So here I am. I weighed 200.2 lbs this morning, and my goal is to get down to around 185 or so. It has been YEARS since I weighed that, and I am excited about the prospect of having more energy, and all that comes with weighing less.
I know other people that are trying to do this as well, and the change is very difficult at best. On general principal, people don't like change all that much, and it really makes this that much harder.
But if it is worth it, then you do what you have to do to make the change.
