When I tell people I’ve lost 130 pounds they usually congratulate me. Inside I feel upset. Sure, losing and keeping off 140 pounds in 24 months is impressive, but man, I still have 125 pounds to go. It’s been a long road.

Later I’ll explain the event that happened in my life to make me want to lose weight. The impetus. The game changer. Forr right now, and for the first post, I need to detail how I got to where I am.
