My Weigh in 2008

Fat in the 1960s
Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed
with my weight and have been since my teens. I am not as bad as I was
years ago as I have more control when it comes to how I feel about
myself when I am fatter. I sometimes wonder why, approaching the age of
73, I still worry, fret, even think about my weight, what I eat and why I diet but I do!!!

This hasn't been a particularly good year for me weight wise. I could could blame
it on my aorta valve replacement operation as both happened July 21 but
neither would be true. I get fatter, I gain weight when I don't eat
right and I did a lot of (over) eating of sweets, particularly 1/2
gallons of ice cream!!!, this year.
blame my weight gain on giving up smoking--we all know you gain at least 10 pounds when you do that, right? Right!--or I
I started this new year of 2008 weighing in at 186. I took my last weight for 2008 today and I weighed in at 194.5. I weigh in EVERY Monday and Thursday EVERY  week--and
have the records since 1967!! (I told you I was obsessed with my
weight! LOL) The most I weighed this year was 196 pounds and the least
was 182.75

On Christmas day night I made a decision and that is
to give up sweets until I weigh below 185 and if I watch myself I can
lose that 9.5 within two-three weeks and I will. After that I plan to
lose some more weight and look like I did in the pictures below!!

Martin, I'm the same way. My JP costume is getting a little tight, so I'm going to work on losing the extra 10 I've gained. I know I can do it, just have to get back to my self-ordained diet. Happy New Year Martin. Smooches

I recently gained 20 pounds in the first three months of not smoking (again). On top of the 25-30 pounds that I gained after my military retirement in Sept. 2000. !!??!!
