getting up the nerve


OK, I am a fat dude. I've been fat since childhood. It sucks to be fat. I am not going to spend a lot of time on this blog telling sob stories. They just make me mad. No promises that a sob story or two will not come out later!




I worked on my feet for a very long time in retail, surveying, light industrial and CNA work. I ate enough to maintain my fatness. After leaving the ER to work for more money and better benefits in customer service on the phones, I began gaining weight. The struggle became increasingly harder as time progressed. Sitting in a cubicle taking calls. Smoking increased. Health decreased. Things got even worse after I quit smoking. To satiate my oral fixation, I ate more than ever. This caused me to gain enough weight that my clothes ceased to fit. The stress of life must have got to me because I began having swelling of the feet and ankles and restless legs. Fearing that my heart was in bad shape, I took a long lunch and went to the walk-in clinic. My blood pressure was fine. Thank god! What a freaking relief. Well Now I'm peeing a lot because I was put on some kind of water pill. Great...I feel like an old man.


I will make a few predictions here. I will lose at least 50 pounds of fat by the end of this year. When will I start?
