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!"
