Male, 5'10" tall. SW: 276.7 CW: 269.6 GW: 185 tentatively, but may still be TBD
I've made some half assed attempts to lose weight earlier in the year and allowed myself to fall back into bad habits, with the worst being snacking in the evenings before bed.
Why is this time different? My daughter took my picture while we were sitting on our front porch and sent it to my mom (her Gmom). My mother responds to my daughter's post with: "If I didn't see your mother in the picture, I would have thought your dad was your uncle (my older brother). Don't tell your dad that I said that!"
Both my older brother and I were at the ideal weight growing up and into our mid/late 20s. We both started putting on the weight in our 30s. But my older brother was always bigger than me - it was never debatable when looking at the scale. But to say that she couldn't tell us apart in a picture (we do look alike in the face) was my wake up call.
I know - it's a shitty way to get a wake up call because it sounds bad and very much like I'm saying: "Well at least I'm not as fat as THAT guy..." I worry about my brother and we've both talked about our sizes before so I WANT to see BOTH of us at ideal weights.
Shitty as it was - that was my motivation to kick start this - for real this time. Of all the things that could have been motivators, why this one?
