The Disgusting ‘Before’
Posted on 11 May 2007 by John
It’s OK… gasp, turn away in disgust, shield the eyes of your children, I’ve seen/heard it all before.
This is me at my known MAX, 412 lbs. trying to squeeze myself into a seat at Safeco Field. I tried WeightWatchers half-heartedly during the fall of 2005, but never really took it seriously.
With the dawning of 2007 I saw two major events on the horizon. My 20-year high school reunion, my best friends wedding (he is eclipsed by me in this picture), and there is the ‘health’ thing. Time to do something ‘for real‘!
I returned to WeightWatchers with renewed dedication. My starting weight this time was a svelte 392 lbs., it is that weight that I refer to in my weekly weigh-in posts and in the Ticker Factory widget you see above.
WeightWatchers says my goal weight is between 155 and 180. I swear, if I get down that low I’ll look like an anorexic. So right now I’m putting my target at 200lbs.
Stay tuned, I’m believe that the accountability of FatBloggers and you, my loyal readers we see me through
