And so my journey begins. Little more than 2 years ago I finally quit smoking (thanks to Chantix) and at the same time I went on another diet…needless to say it didn’t work. Actually in the end losing weight has never been a problem, but keeping weight off has. So back in October I went on the Akins diet to drop some fast weight so that I was able to have bariatric surgery.  weeks ago (ish) I had surgery. Check the About section for more info.

Ultimately my goal is to get my weight under control because at this point I can’t walk or stand for more than 45 minutes at a time (and before October I couldn’t stand for more than about 5 minutes). From here as I lose weigh I have a list of goals that I not only plan to hit but as I accomplish them I will post here. My goals range from things the average healthy person may take for granted like mowing my own yard to bigger life goals like visiting Ireland and buying a motorcycle and taking some weekend scenic rides.

So this isn’t day one, you are joining me at the point I’ve lost about 90 pounds but I have a long way to go. Above is an album that has a few pictures of me at various sizes. Each day I post I will sign off with a picture of what I looked like that morning. I know I’m big but in time that will change so I won’t hide what I am or what I look like today because tomorrow and each day forward will be that much less of me.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and I welcome your comments, questions, or stories of your own journey. If you want you can follow me here or on facebook or even twitter. (I’ll warn you my twitter feed is full of sarcasm.) I look forward to tomorrow and the next day.
