    Imagine in your hands a gallon jug of water. Ok, now imagine 21 of those gallons of water. Strap a few to each leg, a couple to each arm, a couple on each hip, more on your stomach and the rest down your back. Now walk around like that. All day. Every day. For decades.

    Welcome to my adult life. I did a little calculating. I know that I was 11 when I finished 6th grade (I was a year ahead), and I know that sometime during the school year they weighed me at over 220 lbs. I'm now 80 lbs lighter than that. So how old was I the last time I weighed what I do now? Maybe 9 years old, maybe even 8 years old?

    Anyway, here's what a loss of 177 lbs looks like.

    You are amazing and an inspiration. The courage to reroute a life you'd been leading since you were a child took incredible will power. You reclaimed your life and can spend the rest of it getting to know the new and real you... Thank you for your post and for sharing your story!

    I'm speechless... and I'm never speechless. Your "imagine" description is what really struck me. I think about that with just me 27 pounds gone.

    Ok, so maybe I'm not speechless... :glasses:
