New venture...

I've made mention of my weight on here before.  For those who don't know me, I tend to lean a bit on the "holy shit" side of the scale.  Sure, it's good for a laugh at times, but it really keeps me from getting out and making the most of life.  Like just this year, I found out that the zipline tour I wanted to do has a 250lb limit!  Sure, I could scream 'discrimination' and get all my chubby pals fired up for a nice lawsuit, but really, that's not me.  And really, maybe it's better that the tree canopies of southern Ohio are not filled with the wheezing, flabby bodies of the morbidly obese.  That's one nature show that could be scarier than Shark Week!

I've never felt that this is my body.  Sure, it houses all of my organs including the uniquely complicated brain of mine, but like an old farm house left unattended for years along a back country road, it has become overgrown.  So I've decided (once again) that it's time to clean up!  There is still a lot of character in this dilapidated dwelling, it just needs a few weeds cleared away and a fresh coat of paint.  Yep, time to smoke weed and huff paint.  Wait, that's probably not a good idea...

Join me in a journey to reclaim my former self.  I have started another blog in which I will document my progress toward a better me.  As I said, I feel like I'm trapped in a body that isn't mine, and it's time to Escape from the 270lb Coffin.
