About me now

I just realized I hadn’t updated the “about me” section since the beginning. I’m in a very different way now.

So back in March, on the 11th, of 2005 I did start a journey to lose 90 pounds and chronicle it here (with many yucky pictures). I did move forward to humorously lose 50 pounds over the following six months or so and maintained that for about a year.

Then I moved back home to N.J. and gained about 40 of it back on! Now a year and a half and a few unsuccessful attempts after that I’m feeling hopeful I’m back on track yet again.

The difference between me now and then is that I know I have the ability to do this because I’ve done it before. I do find it easier the gazillionth time around. Only slightly easier, of course, because I’m still battling my demons but I feel more confident in my arsenal for which to do that. (Also I’m having a good morning right now because I weighed in at 183, down two more pounds! If I weigh this on Monday it’s going on record.)

Let’s be honest, I’m a roller coaster, but my peaks and valleys are truly starting to level out some and my extremes are less extreme.

I’m really happy that the friends I’ve made in the blogosphere have stuck around with me over the past three years and provided me with invaluable support.

The original version from March 11th, 2005

I'm a Chub: UUuuuhhh, where do I begin? I'm not sure how I really want to go about this and what, at this point, I want to reveal about myself. I'm guessing I'll peel the layers off gradually kind of like I want to shed the pounds.

I'm lying already, I don't want to shed gradually, it's all I can think about. I want to compulsively drive my self near to the grave to drop 90 pounds. (Relax, I wish I had that drive. If I did I wouldn't be in this position.)

I can't believe that it has come to this. I have 90 pounds to lose! I'm going to chronicle it here on this website. I'm going to post the unflattering half naked pictures of my progress! eeewww! I'm also going to create silhouettes of each stage so that I can lay them over eachother and see how my shape transforms. Hopefully it will look the rings of a tree.

I'm hoping that making a commitment to this website will keep me motivated. I look forward to feedback, I hope people see this.
