I’ve been holding onto this Late Hour, for a special occasion. So I decided to have it, this Saturday afternoon, to celebrate a goal I have been working towards.
I’ll keep it as short as possible, but wanted to share with my Bum family.
I have always been very skinny, standing 6 foot 7 & 1/2” tall, and weighing between 180-190. After I broke my neck ( C5 ) in 2015, and suffering a TBI in the process, I think I subconsciously “gave up” in terms of caring, about certain things. So I let myself go, and over the course of 2 years or so, I gained 90Lbs. For the first time in my life, not only was I overweight, but considered morbidly obese. I have several very debilitating health issues ( that I won’t bore you all with ), so the broken neck, just seemed to be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.
So I made up my mind, this is not who I am, or want to be, I didn’t even recognize the person in the mirror. With that, I decided enough was enough. If I can’t do anything to fix the other health issues, I can do something about the weight.
As of yesterday, I have lost 95lbs, bringing me back down into the 190s. I feel and look like my old self again, and for me, that’s worth celebrating!
As I said, I wanted to share my victory with my family here. You’re all a great group of people, and I am grateful to be a part of this community.
I would post a before and after shot, but the only ones I have are from the shoulders up, though it is a stark contrast.
I hope you’re all having a great weekend!
Anyhow, Davidoff Late Hour
