I will hit the 4 month mark this Saturday the 22nd. I cannot believe how time flies and ounces shed when I stay dedicated to my goal. The support I have received has been wonderful. My wife, who says she has been inspired by me to make changes with her own health has lost 13 pounds! I appreciate her for all she does and I am so proud of her accomplishments. She is my inspiration! My boys are my inspiration! I know that I have talked about being selfish, and doing this for me. That was at the beginning, now I am half way home and have realized the better quality of life that this will provide for not just me but those who are most important to me as well!

This week was the first time that EVERYONE noticed my shrinking abilities. I would have thought this happened sooner but now I am starting to get stopped in the office by co-workers or by golfing buddies that I see once a month and asked what it is that I am doing. It was nice to hear all the compliments, words of motivation and congratulations but it’s also tough because I don’t see the changes like others do. Don’t get me wrong when I look at old pictures I can tell. When I put on old cloths I can tell. But the truth is I am still a 330 something pound man that used to be 452 pounds. My mind plays tricks on me I guess or perhaps I just know that I have a long road ahead. I don’t want to ignore my accomplishments but if I could kick myself in the ass I would, just for letting it get as bad as it was! My regrets are not making the change sooner, but I imagine that anyone who goes through this process has that same regret!
