Give me another can of Coke please!
Piecing it all together, one can of Coke at a time. I am fat, ok obese; we shouldn’t start this out with a lie. I am 400 pounds of fat; a wee BMI of 51 at 6’4 (maybe 6’2 since it seems my fat is dragging me down) and life is good in that not out there running 10 miles a day sort of way. Let me start by telling you I am healthy, mostly, and that which has gone wrong with me is due to my poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and horrible will power around food when stress, anger, or any non-funny emotion is running wild.

My weight has been up and down my entire life, sometimes good, sometimes bad, but almost always something to be working on. I claim the Atkins way of dieting and have had good success in the past. On December 1 st, 2001 I kicked off my last good diet run and went from 450lbs down to 309lbs by April 1 st, 2002. After I was down to 350lbs I started scuba diving on a weekly basis and found great joy in an active life. Shortly after this I met my wife, fell madly in love, and she soon became pregnant with my amazing daughter which is one of the reasons I am starting this site. The nine months of pregnancy was rough and the first six months after even more so. I soon started gaining it back and here we are now in 2006 and I am once again at that 400lb mark looking at my options once again.

So here I sit putting together a site to chronicle my choices in the coming months. Let us begin… Jan 06'
