The Rewards of Losing Weight
My lovely wife of 44.6 years has stuck by my side as I have gone from 427lbs. down to my current weight of 288. She said she had a reward for me. It was one chocolate chip peanut butter cookie. I only ate one of them cuz that's all she gave me. But, it was at least 6 inches in diameter. I ate it all! Groovy. :D
