yesterday was my 2 year anniversary and I am glad grateful and proud to say that i have reached and surpassed my goals,i never thought i would be where i am at today,my life has changed dramatically,now i look at life differently, i want to dress better,dont mind running around etc   ,but most of all i know i will be healthy enough to enjoy my family which means the world to me, when my dr. told me i was a prime candidate for a heart attack or stroke it brought me to reality . now i can play catch up for all that i missed,dam its gonna be fun.see you guys soon.

its been a minute or two since i've been on but i have been busy, not even gonna lie. me and the wife went down to atlantic city last weekend and did we have a great time, everything was perfect,from dinner to concert to drinks just spending time with the mrs. it felt sooo good getting into a size 40 sport jacket, 34 pants and med shirt,and of course having all the extra space in the seat at the concert.. yesterday i took a new driver on the roadand as we were moving the 600lb liq nitrogen cans around he says" yo, how does a guy as small as you move all that weight , youre size fooled me " .  that hit me like a brick since i have never been referred to as a small guy. luckily it was a good brick and left me smiling, i just said "i wasnt  always this size,it took a lot of work"

we went down to Ocean City MD for the weekend and had a great time. it was actuallystrange to go away for the weekend and not pack a carload of food. we just packed our clothes, a few bottles of Arbor Mist , and of course wifeys shoes and blow dryer. seriously it felt strange but GOOD. The most enlightening moment was when we decided to parasailing and DIDNT HAVE TOWORRY BOUT WEIGHT RESRTICTION.  if youve never been parasailing, GO, it is so much fun and relaxing, dont worry bout the height ,because you wont realize it..the other moment was when i had to buy a trunks because i didnt fit mine, thye were and xl and i gotta brag ,i'm using large and some mediums.it feels good to be able to buy clothesat the boardwalk and not have to ask " do you carry big sizes".  we stopped at Hoopers Crab House for dinner and boy did i tear up some crabs.,why go to ocean city if you aint gonna feast on crabs.

looks like hit my GOALLLLLLLL. weighed in and now officially under 165, i was floating between 165 and 167 which had me frustrated but now that i have weighed 164 for the past few days i guess i can say GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. i wnet to pick up a pair of dress slacks for a my wifes aunts funeral and actually had a hard time finding  a  size 34, which is the opposite of trying to find a size 48 or 50.I  have even been able to fit some 33's if they are cut loose, it is an awseome feelin when i look back and realize how far i have come and just have a small distance to go.

my wife bought me two shirts on saturday but had to exchange them or a size that i haven't seen since the tenth grade, a size MEDIUM, its hard to believe that i have gone from a xxxl or xxxxl down to a medium. I thought that the brand was cut a lil large but was suprised when i tried on some tee shirts at OLD NAVY and themediums fit.. guess its time to accept the fact that i am lil david,just kidding,i will always be Big David, its strange how you start to look at your meals in a different way since you want to eat healthy and stay fit. . i do not deprive myself of food , what  i do is watch my portions , which is what I should have done many years ago,but i guess we have to live and learn. being that i learned my lesson i will NOT make the mistake again.

 the other day i was at work and was having a conversation bout my favorite subject, food. yeah i wont lie, i still love to eat , i just eat healthy and wiser. i was telling the woman how much i love to eat and she said " you can eat all you want since your SKINNY ". it was a shock to hear some one refer to me as  skinny,first time in 44 years, but the truth is that i do not see the skinny that everyone else sees,. i really wanted to tell her that i wasnt always this size  but i opted to accept the comment as a COMPLIMENT, since not everyone has to know  that i was 305 lbs at one time. well i am hopefully  bout done with the weight loss since i feel comfortable where i am at , just would like to lose bout 5 more lbs and end at 169.but if it takes a while i wont complain since i am alot closer to where i want to be than where i started. i actually look at life in a completely different perspective. my wife now calls me "mi flaco", which means "my skinny man". she can call me what ever she wants as long as it includes MY _____ MAN.

last year this time i was starving since i was on my two week liquid diet and i was like a kid waiting for santa because march 23 will be my one year anniversary. i have been lucky that al has turned out well, i have no regrets except that i didnt have my proceedure sooner. i never thought that i would be completely healthy and this size again. its funny because i am the same weight as when i graduated high school{1983}. my wife asked me how i feel and i said GREAT.honestly great is an understatement,there are no words to explain the feeling of accomplishment . thanks to my wife and kids for their support  since without them my success would not have been possible.

i called out from work today due to the much desired snowstorm and had a wow moment. . i went outside to clean the driveway and cars etc... and realized that i wasnt tired or out of breathe, i had even turned off the snowblower and hit the snow with the shovel. dont remember when was the last time i actually had fun shoveling. theyre forecasting another 8 to 10 inches this afternoon and i am actually looking forward to it. its funny how some of the simplest things become significant after weight loss.

i  used to empty out my dresser when i outgrew my clothes, but yesterday one of my coworkers gave me his stock of clothes and i was in heaven when everthing fit . the great thing is that all the clothes are from name brand stores. he must have given me over 500.00 dollars worth of clothes, so i dont gotta go shopping for a while.  a year ago i never thought i would be at this size, but thanks to God and my dr and family, i made it and just got bout 15 lbs to go..dam life is different  when youre back on this side.

i spent the entire weekend baking with the wife and passed the ultimate temptation test, i didnt pig out on her cookies or her other goodies, i realized that i have regained my self control in regards to food. i can have a small piece and just to satisfy the craving and keep it moving.its funny how its just a matter of will power and determination. well i got my 9 month check up tmrrw, and now i dont mind goin to the doc. only bad part is that his scale is off because of my clothes,i told his nurse that i was gona strip down to my boxers and she just laughed.and said i was crazy.
