Why the food?

Well I am a big guy. I mean big. There are two big things that my neurologist wants me to do.

1. Lose weight.

2. Get my LDL below 100.


Only two things. I have fought with the battle of weight for some time. March 3rd was the heaviest I have ever been. 424 lbs. That is a lot for all of my body to deal with. I have gotten down to 300 lbs but this is ridiculous. I started making changes before then but on the 6th I looked at deaths door and then my worst fear was made real. I have to change it or I will die soon.

I have to repair myself - for myself, my family and friends. I will not go out this way. When I was weighed with my jeans on at the sleep clinic on April 3rd I was at 407 lbs. I have taken it down that much one month. I can do this. I will do this and I am grateful for the opportunity to do this.
