I had no idea who you where until early this Sunday Morning (12/27/9). I rarely ever work on Sundays but a customer had an urgent need which found me in my truck this morning with my 11 year old daughter in tow. When she rides with me my radio dial is forced to be on the the bubble gum station which was rudely interrupted by your show (ha). My daughter originally insisted on a station change for music. but, after a few moments of listening to you talk I realized that I was listening to radio gold.
You see I am 40 years old (well 41) and I weigh 407 lbs. but I didn’t always have weight issues. I too used to have the guns and thin waist line. What changed for me is 11 years ago when I found out that my wife was pregnant I quit smoking cold turkey. Which is great except for the fact that I replaced that compulsive behavior with another one and 11 short years and 200 lbs later here I am fat bastards twin brother.
No problems with diabetes or cholesterol (which upsets my skinny tennis playing doctor because its lower than his)and the blood pressure is controlled.
My problem is like yours. While I am capable of quoting the calorie, carb, and fat content of every food item placed before me. I cannot overcome the impulsive habits that find me eating when I’m not hungry, during certain stressers, or my favorite, boredom. So I will join you my friend and follow your posts and chase the same dream as you of 225 lbs. Hope to see you at the Fall for Greenville next year and we can pull up 2 of those cheap plastic chairs with the arms to close together to keep us from sitting in and have a laugh over our struggles. Thanks for the hope.
