So, I am fat. That's fine... I've always been a big guy. No problem...

After the back surgeries in 2/07 I dramatically dropped to 204. That was the lowest I've seen since my immediate college days back in the late 80s. That's thin for me. And truthfully it lasted for a bit. But over the last year, no matter what I did, I shot back up to a whopping 248. That's as much as my youngest child weighs increase on my frame.

So... 44 lbs.

Ugh.

Today, I tried on my new kilt from Stillwater Kilts. They're a great local purveyor of kilts that I have wanted to add to my Ren Faire costume collection for quite some time. Of course Morgan saw me in the kilt and screamed "MAN SKIRT!" Great...

Then I looked in the mirror. Now granted I got a size too big, and have to order the next waist size down, but my fucking GOD I was huge. I've been so proud these last three weeks that I've lost 10 lbs but moderating my eating habits, cutting out the chips, drinking more water and limiting myself to one soda per day.

So my new weight is 238... I want 230 by GenCon in August. Gonna take some work, but I know I can do it.
