Permit me to brag
So: when I was about 14 years old, my mom and I went to a science museum, where they had scales set for various planets. So if you weigh 100lbs on earth, you’d weigh 37lbs on Mars, etc. It was the first time I’d been on a scale in years. I stepped on the Earth scale and was 180lbs. I was a bit worried because that was more than I’d ever weighed before. I’d previously thought of myself as “skinny”, but had to start re-evaluating my self image. Sadly, from that point, I continued to gain weight, shooting past “fat” and into “obese”. I was rapidly approaching “morbidly obese” when a good friend decided she needed to lose some weight also. So we started changing our behaviors, hitting the gym, walking, stopped eating entire large bags of M&Ms, etc.
Today I weigh 189lbs…
A bit of progress
I’ve still got some work to do. I want to get down to “height/weight proportionate before I turn 32 (5 March, if you want to buy me anything), and to do that, I need to lose 2 pounds a week for the next 7 weeks.
But for now, I’m going to hit the gym…
