Did your state of mind get better?
Absolutely

If so, was it a result of your journey or precede it?
My turnaround was all results driven. The more I lost, the more positive I began to feel about myself and each time I stepped on the scale and I was less than before it only encouraged me to keep on going. I was essentially an agoraphobic shut in hermit that dreaded going out for years due to how embarrassed I was over what I had allowed myself to become and that destroyed my relationships with everyone that I knew. Once people stopped coming over and stopped inviting me to go do anything (because they eventually learned that my answer was always going to be no) I fell into an even deeper depression and that only caused me to drown all my misery with more food. That food, even as a vegetation was usually garbage not good for you kind of food. If I didn't need to leave the house, I never did, so food became my only friend. I mean, this totally sounds like something that was taken from a dumb episode of Dr. Phil, but I'm here to say that these kind of thoughts and behaviors really happen. I just never thought something like this would ever happen to me. But it did and the only thing about all of this that annoys me still is that it took me this long to finally do something about it.

How tall and old are you?
It's been years but the last physical I took I was measured at just over 5'10". So I round up and say I'm 5'11" on a good day.

I'm 48 :oldtimer:
:tiphat: Just a great story, and I presume a rare one too

The other thing that made my day after I pulled the trigger on my midlife crisis (should be here on Monday) not sure if I mentioned it here but on Aug 23rd I lost my dog who was about to be 15 and I was pretty broke up about it. Then at the end of November I got the chance to rescue this guy who at the time was 4 months old he's an American Bully though the pics doesn't show his under bite or jowls

Then I was sent this picture of my father who passed when I was a kid when living in Greece:

Wow, love that pic of your Dad! No doubt you had some "feels" ( or whatever the kids say today) when you saw it. I would frame that pic. :cool:

Your midlife crisis present to yourself is nice! Like you said, you only live once, so why not?! That made me realize that I am past midlife now..lol. Not old, but not so young either.

Oh, and awesome that you could rescue that guy. :heart:

Yeah my dad was a cool dude, I didn't get much time with him so I love that picture. I'm actually having my buddy make a fancy frame for it.

The last pictures I have that he took of me.

I'm only 40 but at the same time the pandemic showed me nothing is promised, I took a lot of time to just step away from everything but now its time to say fuck it.

I think this one is FAR superior. It's unbelieveable in every way.



Why he went from that to that all girl band in the last years is a mystery.

My mother mailed me a box of things she found of mine that were in her garage. In it was this Thrasher magazine from January 1988.

I started my subscription in 1986 and had every issue up until about 1997, but I left them all at my parents house and even though she has told me repeatedly she never tossed them in the garbage they are nowhere to be found. It's nice to know that at least one of them has survived!

I finished the game Red Dead Redemption 2 last night (it's awesome btw)

While watching the credits scroll I saw that Mike Watt played bass for the music in the game.

I thought that was cool.
