Hey, Trucker! You are such an inspiration to me! You really put things into proper perspective. I know when I'm feeling down, I can come here and you put me in good spirits again.

I fully related to the "using the handicapped stall" in restrooms that you mentioned the other day. Indeed, some of those so-called regular stalls are certainly like coffins. I am SOOOOO glad you are able to use them comfortably again! Keep up the terrific work ... and inspiration! And ... thanks!
 
Forum love and hugs right back at ya Darcy.

Truth be known, it's the wonderful people on here that make me have fun and share my thoughts and humor. Without you all, I'd be just another grumpy, miserable dieter.

The pleasure has been all mine.
 
LMAO- Hope your experience with the dentist goes smoothly- I'm sure it will!!

My father is also deathly afraid of the dentist. Whenever my bro or I go, he is running around the house freaking out!! And it's like "Whoa, chill out buddy!"

I am your dentist (goodness gracious!),
and I enjoy the career that I picked. (Love it.)
I am your dentist (fitting braces),
and I get off on the pain I inflict. (Really love it.)
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid.
Its swell though they tell me Im maladjusted.
And though it may cause my patients distress,
somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me
I know, I know, that my mamas proud of me (Oh, mama.)
cause Im a dentist and a success.

Morning walk ponderings:

Reflecting im now at a weight I haven't been at since 1987 - the year my daughter was born. One wonders why one chooses to wait 19 years to get serious. 4 of these years were with diabetes. Having conclusive evidence of supporting data of just how beneficial my changes have been to my illness, again, why the wait ?? why does it take getting pissed off or self-disgust before we get started ?? Isn't our very own life reason enough to start immediately ??

How ridiculous I look in 3x shirts now. I now own 60 to 70 nightgowns. I know women are always jubuliant at shopping for clothes but I think most men dread this aspect of life. I'm really settled in with my clothes. They really are 'old friends'.

I'm amazed how finding an area of study for a new career is really become a mental burden. I can't find anything that sparks me into saying "yes, I want to be a _________ for the rest of my life". All I know is I don't want to go back to driving a tractor trailer, other than that, I can't dislodge my brain into another choice of careers.

All in all, these are musing I can live with. I'm not daydreaming of pizzas or ice creams or going back over the 300 lb mark. These are a not so distant memory but I feel confident those days are well behind me now and I'm completely in control. I just fail to have a misery aspect to my lifestyle changes because I'm just enjoying the hell out of life at its present (and future) state.
 
Mornin T2 . I too am at the part in my life that I dont know what I want to . I really dont want to go back to the job I had even though i like the work I did just not some of the other factors of the job . I really hope you find the job that just makes you say wow why didnt I do this a long time ago .

(We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May
we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody
around us is weeping.)

Hello and Hugs T2,

I hope your trip to the dentist went well for you. As for not knowing what you want to do with your life, I too am in the sorta the same boat as well. Your forums are very inspiring and I want to thank you also for writing in my diary and making me laugh. I agree with you these forums make the long, hardass road of dieting a little less bumpy making me a little less grumpy. Hey I made a rythm! Wow way to much coffee on my part. Hugs sweetie, have a great weekend. :eek:
 
-Mia Thanks, have yourself a splendid weekend too. Stay with the discipline, we're badly in need of a resident stripper. I'm counting on you ;)

-Tammy Lynn Maybe we can put our heads together and figure something out. You know, you scratch my brain, I'll scratch yours...

-Alt This whole forum is pretty inspirational, I'm glad to be a part of it and watch people like you kick tail like I'm trying to do.
 
Trucker- Congratulations hun! You truly are an inspiration to me, and I'm sure many others reading your diary. I don't know what you're made of, but you're definitely a strong individual. Your diet regimen is simple, but seems to be working for you. I applaud you in your journey to being Healthy! Reading diary's like yours makes a long term goal like mine more realistic. Keep up the good work!

BTW- I was telling my husband about you. He said, listen to that man. Nobody knows a truckers life, like a trucker.

It has takem me awhile, but I have read your diary and I am just floored. I have done weight watchers and have also been on other support sites and done several things like that. But it is this site and u especially that motivates me to make healthy choices everyday. I just thank you for your diary and for being so honest. I look forward to reading more and congrats on reaching your new goal!!!!!!!!
