Surgically happy.
Hi folks,
Been a long time since I was active but I bet a few of you may remember me.
I'm here procrastinating instead of writing my wedding speech (I'm getting married in 20 days) but also trying to plan ahead.
For those who don't remember me, I could be both an inspiration (I lost 155lbs - see the first picture in my signature) and a cautionary tale (but then I re-gained over 60lbs).
Currently I'm aiming to lose 63lbs or so (though my wife to be thinks I'm aiming to lose half that). I expect to gain in around 3 weeks time, for obvious reasons.
I've already arranged with my old LL counsellor to come back 2 weeks after I get back from Honeymoon. In the meantime I'm trying to lose as much as I can before the wedding to ensure that I don't do too much damage. I'm swimming 3 times a week and being as sensible as I can.
To quote your average old, fat, bald police captains from any number of american buddy/cop movies "I'm getting too old for this &^%*".
I feel quite past the abuses I've committed on my stomach - I'm resigned but yet hopeful that I can return and stick to, both LL and then the following healthy lifestyle required to stay near my goal weight. I've been through a lot in the last year - and I let myself slide - something people should never do. We're planning a family and I want a full and active part in that.
But I've kept most of the healthy approaches to life, and my lifestyle, something I've never done before. I've gained because I've sometimes given myself a free pass for a few weeks at a time, a few times a year - but for the rest of the year, maintained where I was.
Anyway, hope to see some familiar faces (and I hope they're all still lovely and thin!). Maybe if I'd stuck around, I'd have been able to get over certain things quickly. But you know what men are like....
