I doubt I'll actually eat all of it. But here it is.

I'm tired of being trapped in this prison. I'm tired of being alive and want to start truly living!! This is the biggest I've ever been. I can't blame anyone but myself, and I don't. When I had weight loss surgery I wasn't truly ready. I didn't do it for me, I did it more to placate my dad and family.  I lost weight (see archive) but wasn't prepared mentally and ultimately sabataged it because I was rebelling. I'm going to use this as my journal and getting back to updating on a more regular basis.

When you finally get sick and tired of being sick and tired you will make changes, for me today was that day. I'm sad. I'm tired of just existing. I am a prisoner of my own obesity. I have become trapped in an apartment because I am too far to drive. I have nobody to blame but myself.  I tried to find happiness through someone else's love and attention only to come to the realization woman are just as shallow as I am. I had one girl tell me she couldn't introduce me to her parents because they wouldn't be able to get past my size. Today was surreal I had been anticipating this date since Nov 3rd because I felt the truth would prevail and the blatant election fraud would be exposed.  Then to see those I was counting on to secure justice fail me one by one made me feel more sad than when I lost my city council election or state representative race. However I realized I can do nothing from my apartment. I must get in the game and get off t...

M, I'm not sure what to write. My therapist said to write a letter and tear it up. So this will be my attempt then after that I'll be released and supposedly will no longer be blocked by it and free to improve. Divorce sucks for everyone. This makes ten years since the divorce. A divorce that I didn't want, I take responsibility for my actions. I suck as a dad, and probably did as a husband as well. But how can someone improve if the other person won't even give you a chance. You're 😡 I think, but how the hell could I even know, I text and get nothing, DM nothing, even write hand written letters and still get 🦗 At my current weight I've probably got 5 years based on my last Dr visit. It really sucks losing a parent, especially when it was preventable. The sad thing is I don't care.  I need purpose something that I've been lacking in a consistent basis for a long time. I've had spurts but nothing.  I look at you and your siblings as the one bright s...

Is thks thing still on?! Lol I'm going to start blogging again.... Stay tuned!

LinkedIn friends I need your help! The picture on the left is my father's 2nd lieutenant commission photo prior to Vietnam, and the one on the left was his final picture before retiring as a Colonel. This is where I need your help. My father was helicopter pilot during Vietnam and I'm working to get him the congressional medal of honor for one of his acts of heroism during one of his missions. I am doing this without his knowledge. I have his service records and we even have confirmation from one of the people he saved, but need help tracking down the other officer involved.  My father found out about what I was doing and sent me the following narrative of events.... During the October-November 1967 time frame. I was the aircraft commander. The warrant officer on the right in the photo was the copilot. The other two are the enlisted crew.  While flying command and control for an infantry unit I had a colonel in the back with hi...

And sixteen months or 230 pounds lighter.

And these are those pants now.

Time had been flying by adding and things are going great. I weighed for the first time on Sunday and couldn't believe three results, my weigh at surgery was 670#, on Sunday it was 632.8, for a loss of 37.2#!! I weighed myself four times because I couldn't believe it!!! It has really been different than I was expecting,i had a binge eating issue period to surgery and would typically spend $20+ at the drive thru including a couple of large sodas. I have had zero issues or even cravings since the surgery!!! I've got an appointment with a therapist to start unpacking much of the things that were obviously underlying issues but just have never dealt with. It's amazing how the protein shakes fill me up, and I've learned how to tell three signals my stomach is sending, the only issue I've had is a minor flare up of gout which is apparently fairly common since the dramatic changes and the new higher amounts of protein present post op. I've even been somew...
