I went to see Archer this weekend, a quick surprise visit to see this play he was in. Spending time with my son is the absolute best; he's awesome, he thinks I'm as awesome as I do and he's hilarious. Beyond that, I see in him the person he is, the person he's becoming, and the man he will one day turn into. It's amazing, knowing that this beauty, this reckless thirst for life and knowledge, this boundless ball of energy and ambition... all came from my balls.
Seeing my son has given me a renewed dedication for this diet. Spending time with him and seeing his endless energy reminds me of why I'm losing the weight: not just for my own life, but to make sure that I'm there through the greater portion of his.
Starting now, I'm going on the diet fullforce. No more cheats, no more meals with friends. I can go to restaurants and bring a shake and, while it'll be weird at first, we'll get used to it. No more "special occasion" meals and no more cheating.
Furthermore, I'm going to pursue seeing a doctor about this weightloss. I did some research (read: lazily watched some documentaries) and realized that I really don't know enough about this to do it on my own. I'm going to see what the suggested way of losing the most weight is... and I won't lie, I'm kind of hoping it involves the surgery. I've two family members who went and got it, and it worked wonders for them.
Fingers crossed. ^_^
So much goodness! Glad you're seeing a doctor, glad you're still so dedicated, EXTRA glad you spent some time with Archer! Somewhat neutral on your balls' life-giving awesome powers.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you are resolved to stop giving yourself excuses to move from the diet. As someone who has tried to quit smoking numerous times, this is important.
ReplyDeleteYou are the man, Jon. But please see a nutritionist before you do any surgery.
