When Did YOU Know?

Inspired by Pea's "31 by 31", or whatever that inspirational slogan was, I decided it was time for me to lose a few pounds too. What made me realize that was:
  • I went to get my driver's license photo taken and in order to get my whole face in the picture the camera had to be moved to the parking lot while I sat in front of the screen.
  • I needed SCUBA gear to breathe while I tied my shoes.
  • I haven't seen my shoes since I graduated high school.
  • The dashboard light for a passenger's seatbelt flashes when I'm alone in my truck.
  • When I get weighed at the doctor's they hoist me up by my ankles and take pictures with the staff around me.
  • My youngest daughter saw a 20 year old Christmas video and asked "Who's that?" It was me.
What about you? When did you know it was time? Slim

Slim, I relate to the Scuba Diving gear feeling. I WILL NOT admit to my current weight! But, I will say that if I lose 31 by 5/31 I will weigh 209. Today I had oatmeal & a Hoagie! It is nearing 8PM and that is the key, no food after 8PM!!!

If you haven't started your diet yet and it is 1/3/10, are you disqualified? Strictly a hypothetical question, Ya know! "O Lord I pray, make this nonsense go away!"

As common citizens, I'm sure you have all read details about 'The Big Beautiful Bill'...were you surveyed by CNN?

Watching this CNN guy it looks to me that we all Hate it! And if it passes America is screwed...people will suffer... people will die & ...
