So a lot has happened to me since I made my last post. One of the more significant things is my steady weight loss. Now I am not a poster boy for weight lost nor do I advocate it for everyone. And I have stated this several times before. This was a personal decision based on a number of factors. But I am happy to say it is working. My pre-surgical weight was 623. My current weight is 440. That’s 183 lbs in 15 months. I am more mobile. I am in less pain. I sleep better and I get lots of complements about my hard work.

I always find it funny how people think I am working hard. I don’t exercise. I certainly don’t eat any healthier. I just eat less. And my desire not to vomit makes me want to eat even less that I do.

But other things have happened too. I have finally purchased a new vehicle, well, at least new to me. If you go the Huge Comfort site you will see in the automotive section I have some cars for big people listed. The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town and Country are listed there. Well, I got a “cousin” of these models, the Plymouth Grand Voyager. These aren’t made anymore as Chrysler discontinued the Plymouth brand, but there are lots of used ones available and I will be adding this to the listings in the near future. But I must say that it is the roomiest and most comfortable vehicle I have driven in years.

Another strange happening for me is that I am starting to get noticed by women again. And not as the “safe” guy. This is not only interesting for me as I have really been out of the dating scene for several years, but women that I have previously deemed unapproachable are approaching me. So this may make some interesting fodder for more blogs, although that has yet to be determined.

I get asked a lot about how it feels to be thinner, and the answer is I don’t feel thinner. Quite frankly, I don’t think I will ever see myself as thin. I am 440 pounds. That is still 250 lbs over what doctors consider healthy. Although I suspect they are talking out of their asses on that. But When I go someplace where no one knows me, I am still the fat guy. And that is a fact. I am fat. And I am still treated as fat people are. So until fat people are treated as people, I will continue this blog. However infrequent or frequent that may be.
