My Ironic Weight Loss Past

In 2004 I created a weight loss blog because I wanted to lose 30 pounds in 2 months. But I kept doing more and more web stuff and less and less exercise. Eventually I gave up on that blog, and decided to give it to my mom, who has blogged about weight loss (and lots of funny yardwork stories) for the past few years.

 When I started that blog in May of 2004 some people told me I was rediculous for wanting to lose 30 pounds in 2 months, but if you look at SEOsFightFat David lost 16 pounds in less than a month, and in 2006 I actually lost 40 pounds in 2 months. But losing that much required me to go to the gym twice or 3 times a day.  I am not sure if I have that much time now.

The one upside to being as fat as I am right now is that there are many bad habbits that lead to this weight…which means there is lots of opportunity to change.

 When I was younger a short fat older friend had a theory on body weight… that you can be x pounds per year of age. As a 11 year old this theory seamed reasonable, but when I got in my 20s I laughed about how stupid the idea is and how fat I would be if I fell in line with that theory. In spite of my past weight loss, I am currently somehow fatter than ever, and this is the first time I caught up with that x multiple since I was 17.  Gulp.
