Day 139
Announcing my resignation
Ok first thing: I took in about 1,500 calories today, so it was a pretty good day. I could have spread it out a little bit better, but what are ya gonna do?
I came to a decision tonight about this blog. It had to end sometime, right? I mean, how many times could I possibly rehash the same shit over and over: Yes, I feel good about what I've done. Yes, I believe it is all about calorie intake. Yes, I believe that anyone can lose weight if they truly want to. Yes, I am doing this to try to meet girls. Yes, I am still looking for a new job. Yes, I still want to get down to 240 at some point in the future.
These things have all been covered.
This blog isn't the smash broadway musucal Cats. It's not gonna run for 30 years. So I have decided that the final entry will appear on Friday, June 9.
Why Friday, June 9 you ask? Well, that is the day I leave for home. I began this whole thing two days after I returned from my last trip home. That was the trip where my brother told my mom he was worried about me because I had gotten so big. That is my brother, who moved back in with my parents at the age of 31 and barely has a high school diploma, worrying about me. That was some motivation right there.
Anyway, it makes sense to end there, because this period of time is sandwiched between the times that I get to see the people I really care about. And it is only their reactions that I am really interested in (and hot girls at the bar, but they don't know me yet). So as I left them in early January as a full-fledged Super Chunk, I return much less chunky and with some real promise in my battle to get down to a reasonable weight.
So between now and then, that's two weeks from tomorrow by the way, there will be regular updates as I try to get down to 270 by my trip.
I am, however, toying with the idea of turning 210west.com (the main page) into my personal blog. It wouldn't be updated every day, but it would be a nice continuation of this project. There would also be weight loss updates from time to time. That is, if I decide to do it.
So anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that.
I'm out.
