Okay, I've decided my weight loss goal is  one hundred pounds.... sound big I guess, but well face it I'm as big as three of me ten years ago...

I'm incouraged because I weighte out at 385 again dis moanin... yeppers... that's in my birthday suit, drippin wet with sweat and foam on top...

It's a pain   weightin yourself everymorning but it helps me stick to eating sensibly...

So when I drive by KFC... I just grab my self by the collar and tell me to go home and have a salad.... besides ya broke anyway.  

It's a daily battle cause as a young man i could eat the whole cow... pretty good sample when we gonna eat... 

See I love food... love to cook, my favorite is the grill... that's rat... oops... anywho... I've been watching my fluid intakes... I don't use sodium... I buy a 50 % sodium salt made from sea water... don't use it much...

good on popcorn when I reward myself for being stead fast lol... It's taken a long time but at least i'm startin to see some results... smaller portions,  cook less, cause them left overs just get better when Ya nuke em...

So I've noticed an improvement in my self esteem, and I'm feeling better about myself... Nawe the pain aint any better, but hey seems like I handle it better these days... well half the time... Ike kicked my hinny... ouch...

Im the kind of fellow that wants everything yesterday... hurry hurry... well it's better to hurry up and wait... takes time and lots of effort... so if ya don't succede the first time just keep tryin... in the big picture it will pay off...

I cut off my air conditioner and suffered thru pure de hell to get back outside and be a little bit mor active that last year.. year befor e that too....

It's not easy, but it can be done...

Hope this might encourage any one to keep trying , if you have a weight problem.. it don't make you less a person, mom or dad... it do restrict your actions but hey... most of us didn't ask for it... and I suggest you don't beat yourself up over it like I did....

Oh today I went to the lab for test... I sat down in one them chair with arms on em and it didn't stick to my  butt... OOOYEah....I'm proud...

Aint braggin just facts hehehehe...

ya'll have a wonderful day... keep on tryin... Russ
