Fat Photos

Today's blog entry is to bolster my flagging enthusiasm for losing weight. I've been at this wholeheartedly since January 15th. Quitting smoking was only hard for a few months, but this endeavor has now been going on for seven and a half months! I can wear pants which are inches smaller, but the day-to-day changes occur too slowly to notice.

This entry is not really designed for readers, but much more for myself. I figured if looked at how fat I used to be, I might be motivated to keep working on getting smaller. I must have spent a better part of the 2000's too big. I remember resolving to lose weight on my 2006 trip to Sri Lanka. I reckoned I was probably at my heaviest then. Now after seeing the pictures, I'm not so sure.

I do know that upon coming back I bought a set of electronic bathroom scales. In the fall of 2006, I was 59 lbs heavier than this morning. All right, then, ten pounds more cannot be that hard! Right? If I need more convincing, I'll just pull up today's posting and glance at the following photos:
