Wedding Weight Watchers

In preparation for our pending nuptials, I decided to gain as much weight as possible so Eileen could start getting used to the life she is signing up for. It was a difficult road but my strict regimen of excessive food consumption and laziness has paid off and now here I am, the most I've weighed in my life. The joy that my future wife (weird to say, I know) expresses as I scarf down meals is always fun.

"Really? Are you really going to eat that?" Yes. Yes I am.

"Why don't you have a salad? Yay, salad!" Yay!

"Ugh." Thanks, hon.

Sign me up for another 50 years of this, please!

I kid! Eileen is not really like that (for the most part). But she does encourage healthy eating habits. I can make excuses about why I don't eat healthier nor exercise but I know that it really just comes down to willpower. Unfortunately, my willpower is severely lacking and that brings us to this post.

In my younger days I used to be active. Crazy, I know. I was motivated and actually followed a schedule close enough that I was able to complete two triathlons, a couple 10K runs and a half marathon (separately of course). But I don't think the source of the motivation was my willpower. It drew from people donating (I did Team in Training) and knowing that I was actually signed up for a freaking triathlon. So consider this post the same thing: I'm not asking for donations (just ad clicks) but now you know I actually do intend to lose weight.

How much weight? Enough to get Eileen off my back (just kidding, hon!). But at least now she knows what to expect once the wedding is over and I can go back to being the same ol' me. Then, this time next year, I can proudly wear my Halloween costume.
