You can't change an old picture..but you can do something about it!

Seeing an old group picture with friends and coworkers once again was an eye popping experience for me - they always will be because you can't ever change a picture. They're like permanent memories of what once was.

There was a photo taken back in 1998 and one in 2004...I can't believe I actually looked like that (although I really could).

Looking back it almost puts a tear in my eye again...

I'll say within a span of 10 years from 1997-2007 - I was at my worst weights ever - before this weight issue became uncontrolled, I was hovering around the 145-155 lb weight class since my high school days through college. I was lean (not cut)...but I was into athletics back then so I was always in shape.

But when I got older, finally landed a real job...making my own money...doing my own thing --- Man, I was pretty big and unhealthy!!! My face looked like a hot air balloon ready to burst open...my arms were flab - and obviously was the biggest guy in every picture I have in our albums of friends and family.

Some co workers who have never seen me that overweight can't believe...but I can. And anyone else who believes in themselves that they can make a personal change for the better, will agree. You can't change the past...but you can always change the present - if you really want to.

Nothing ever too late to do something about it.
