Proof

[jamesq]

I've been saying for years that I've been aging backwards. Here's the proof. The first picture (in black and white) is me from ten years ago, when I first started at my current company. The second (in colour) is the updated picture we took last year. Damn, I'm looking good. Of course that was at about my all-time lowest weight.


Speaking about weight, I went to weight watchers (one of the few who did, there was hardly anyone there tonight. Chickens) and discovered that Christmas really nailed me. I'm quite a bit up again.

Rather then bitch and moan like I usually do, I'm simply going to redouble my efforts. You can all give me a hand too. I'm looking for suggestions of short term rewards I can give myself for when I hit 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 down (my goal weight-loss).

My biggest "sin" in the weight gain department is finger food at parties and gaming and such. I find I simply cannot resist it. One or two cookies soon grow to ten or twenty and I balloon out again. If I'm in that sort of situation, feel free to remind me to STOP and THINK about what I'm doing. If I get pissy, remind me that I asked for this.

Looking at the "recent" picture I realize I have to get my hair cut.

Hey, You're looking pretty good! Are you wearing contacts? They help as does that shorter haircut.


Also peas make a great snack. I snacked on them once for a whole week and discovered the joys of fiber. After that I realized I had to go easy on the snacking. Also fruit trays work well, especially strawberries and grapes, but they are cheaper to cut up yourself than buy said fruit tray.

I had LASIK surgery about eight years ago. That's why the glasses are gone.
