Doug the Neighbor...Free Advice...$1...My 250...Numbers
-
Numbers...
we are surrounded by numbers. Birth weight...6 pounds..10 ounces...year we were born.
Address. Telephone number. Age.
5 was a good age. We could count our age on our fingers. 10...both hands.
Our height as we grow, numbers on a door frame.
16...we could drive. 21...we could drink. Social Security number...we could work.
Paychecks with small numbers.
But as the years pass...one number we constantly monitor...our weight.
Senior year of high school, I weighed 185 pounds. College...200 pounds.
Too much beer and pizza.
Then when I got my first job and steady income...bigger numbers on the check, I ate better.
Boom. My weight went to 225 pounds.
Me and Superman...6'2"...225.
But as milestone birthdays clicked by, ignored the 'other birthdays' and life got better and my weight increased.
Yesterday...
the Doctor...called me 'Doug the Tubby.' He was very accurate. He was not 'fat shaming' me...but concerned about my health.
My number was...250.
Yikes.
"Too much Blue Bell Ice Cream. You get off the couch and exercise or we will have to put you in a coffin. Your choice."
I have to take my own 'Free Advice' and get skinny...and this is my journey.
Next scheduled weigh in...
April 25th.
