I'm About To Lose It Logo

An obese 50 year old guy takes the plunge into RNY gastric bypass surgery.

I was scrolling through some Facebook memories from 3 years back when the photo on the left popped up. I think that’s when it hit me squarely how far I’ve come in this weight loss and health journey. I couldn’t believe it.

I’d seem a few pictures of me here and there from recent years, where I didn’t even initially recognize myself.

Back then I knew I was a big guy but seeing the difference in the pictures, especially this one, was a revelation to me. This is (part of) what I’ve been working so hard toward! It’s not like I’m suddenly an Adonis or something. 🙂 I’m realistic about that! But still…night and day difference.
