Howdy again, friends, family, fiends, foes, and all you funky folks!

Welcome back to my rant about life’s ups, downs, and everything in between. For today’s article I want to talk again about losing weight… I hope you saw my last story about how I got hit with the bad news about being “Morbidly Obese”. Yep, it’s round two on my journey, and I thought I’d share what I’ve learned so far this time around. If you caught my last post, you’ll know I’m no stranger to the challenges of staying on track with my weight and its challenges. This time, I’m hoping my experience will resonate with those of you who find yourselves back at square one, frightened, angry, depressed, but ready to give it yet another try.

The Reality Check: Why I’m Back at It

Let’s start with the billion-dollar question: why am I here again, facing the scale like it’s an enemy? Well, life happens. Jobs change, routines get disrupted, and suddenly, those old habits creep (or roar),back in. I went from eating better and moving more to catching myself reaching for that bag of chips late at night and doing nothing to get any exercise. You know, the classic “I’m just too tired” or whatever line/excuse comes to mind that turns into a belly full of snacks and Burger King, McDonalds, and the like.
