"Man, I did not get any sleep last night. Stupid arm kept on going numb. Which arm is it for the heart attack, left or right. I think left. Well, both arms were numb. That really sucks, I could have used the sleep. Thank god I am off work today!
I do not want to get up. I am wet all over. How hot is it in this house! I do not have any clothes to change into. I really need to wash my shirt and pants. Well, I am upstairs, the machine is downstairs. Maybe I will wash my clothes later.
Wait, it is not hot in this house. I needed to go to the bathroom three hours ago but did not get up. I really hope I did not wet the bed. That would suck!!!! Especially since I do not have another pair of underwear to put on. Oh well!
It is amazing how I take up most of a queen size bed. But I fit on it, so that is good!
I really need to start eating better. I think I will start today! Wait, I have pizza in the fridge. Good thing I bought three yesterday!!! Well, maybe I will start eating well later on tonight. Yeah!
I need to go to the bathroom again, but I really do not have the energy. Let me go back to bed. I am not doing anything today. I will just tell the wife I did not feel well. And when I do get up, I will clean the mess the dog left!"

We're not in this to lose 10 pounds for the summer. We're in this to live.
Keep at it boy. Quit stealing my pose while you're at it.
Wow!
Oh, that is some POWERFUL motivation right there. Nothing like quality of life (or life at all!) as a result of a big change, right?
Nicely done. I can relate.
My best

That is a great post, and my favorite. I am sure any one of us could have written something similar. God Bless

Excellent post. Thank you.
That sure puts things in perspective. I know you'll stay with this lifestyle, because you can never go back to that place. Never.
That life is now a grand and glorious adventure. I love it, I meet it and I participate.
Vanity used to be my main motivator. I wanted to look good. I wanted to be able to walk into a room and not be afraid that I’d be the biggest woman there. I just wanted to be normal, happy and healthy.
It’s a very different story for me now. Sure, I’m still vain and want to look great, but what truly motivates me is restoring my health. I have AS (ankylosing spondylitis), an autoimmune disease that causes brittle spine, bone fusion and a contorted spine so you end up hunched over and looking at the ground. Believe me when I tell you that nothing could possibly be more motivating than to lose my excess weight so that I can (hopefully) stop the progression of this disease. Every extra pound I carry in my gut pulls on my spine, which means I really need to get the weight off.
It’s downright amazing what you discover about yourself when losing weight becomes far more than a vanity issue. I’ve discovered I’m a powerful, determined, motivated woman who can do ANYTHING I set my mind to. Since changing the way I eat, I can now exercise more, have increased range of motion, less pain, stiffness and inflammation, and I feel better than I have in years. Plus the weight is coming off almost effortlessly!

Great answer.
I finally worked up the nerve to have my BF take a pic of me, front and back...
I have accepted "The Missouri 60" challenge! Yay me!
That's both scary and amazing at the same time. Keep going, like I already know you will- now more than ever, you have so much to lose.
This sounds exactly like me, bro. I have been in that EXACT situation and understand what that statement feels like. I have embarrassed myself like that more times than I can count.
You're an inspiration to me because you've taught me so much. I hope on my 5th wedding anniversary I can look as good as you.
thats the stuff they DON'T mention on the biggest loser. it's not just about a belt size. thanks for keeping it real!
