GWMcolorado's Journal, 04 May 2012

I was walking around my local liquor store the yesterday (as I am wont to do) with a 6 pack of beer in each hand. I had just finished grocery shopping and I wanted to get a little something to help me "relax" at the end of my day. I went home, poured myself a brew and started to put away the groceries. I threw the pizza rolls in the freezer, the cookies and chips in the cupboard, and the take and bake pizza in the fridge (for dinner that night). As I reached for the first sip of beer I had a sudden overwhelming feeling of self-loathing. Usually I don't feel that until AFTER downing all twelve beers.

I literally said to myself out loud, "Would you just look at yourself?" So I did. I went into the bedroom, stripped and stood in front of the full length mirror. I was not pleased with what I saw. My next stop was the bathroom scale where I was astonished to learn I weighed 254 pounds naked.

Gone are the days when I was a 190 pound bean pole (I'm 6'5" tall). It is going to take some work to get that back. I think I can, I think I can...

Hey, welcome! And nice job on taking a "life-pause" to become self-conscious. Hang onto that "awareness" and you most certainly can do it! Best wishes!
