Almost ready...

Yep, I weigh 380. I never thought I could weigh this much. I do have a large frame and "big bones" so I don't necessarily look like someone that weighs 380 typically. I'm not that tall so most of it is just plain fat. Seeing the actual number made me really want to do something. Blogging the journey from smoking really helped me, so I figured I'll blog the journey from "what can I get ya', bigun?". It might help someone else too.

I plan to start off by not eating for 3 days. This is merely because I feel that I need it emotionally and spiritually. I am so dependant on food, I need to develop my other interests. You will probably be privy to a lot of blogs on this journey because when I stopped smoking, I started really eating. I play guitar too and I would really like to play seriously, so I should devote more time to my actual playing instead of thinking about playing while I eat buffalo wing flavored pretzel nuggets (Holy crap, those are so freaking good!).

Tonight, Jennifer and I will meet with a friend who had gastric bypass. She has lost a lot of weight already. I have thought about the surgery and I am not comfortable with being put under again. I almost died last time. I would rather do it the old fashioned way, because I am an old fashioned guy. In a week I will probably be freaking out over food. Time will, as always, tell...
