HEADING TO ALASKA

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody....

Well it's that time of year again. Fishing season is here so I'm

heading to Homer Alaska for some halibut and salmon fishing with five

buddies.

I'm really looking forward to the trip this year now that I'm down

approximately eighty pounds....not only will I be able to fit in the

airline seat more comfortably I'm sure my stamina for fishing for the

big bruisers will be much better. I know I sure feel a lot better

physically since losing all that weight with the exception of the

ongoing back and sciatic nerve problems I have been experiencing for

awhile now. Last year I had to sit a lot and my catch ratio sure

showed that !!

One of the things I had to make sure of for this trip was packing

enough warm clothes. As most of you know shedding these pounds leads

to becoming cold a lot easier but I'm all set for Ma nature's changes.

I've packed a few things like turkey jerky and protein bars to help

me stay on track and I'll probably eat a lot of fresh caught fish so

It'll be interesting to see how well I do.

Another thing that will be interesting is to see if there's any

change in my " asshole magnet " maybe it's been turned off having

changed my appearance some over the last nine months. In the last

support meeting someone mentioned how people treat thin (thinner)

folks differently and that perhaps the problem was how we present

ourselves to others as fatties (does this make sense ?) I swear that

I don't go looking for these people they just sem to single me out in

the group whenever we travel and I've always wondered if it was due

to my presense as a fattie. We'll see.

Well that's enough out of me for now. I'll be back late on the 17th

and I'll miss you all while I'm gone. Say focused, stay safe, be

good to yourselves and don't forget to LAUGH.

Love you guys....thanks for your ongoing support !
