del.icio.us Links Added
I've added a del.icio.us feed to mlo (on the lower left-hand side of the page. I'll be adding to these as I find interesting things to share!
Weight Loss Update
I thought MLO might be a good place to talk about my weight loss/maintenance endeavors. Those who know me know I've been working very hard since late December on getting healthy. I should have started my journal then, but I guess late is better than never.
I've always battled with my weight. Some of my most horrible memories are from grade school on height/weight/lice-check day. While watching all of my other boy classmates strip down to their underwear was certainly a treat, it was always overshadowed by my overwhelming dread of having to take my shirt off in front of kids who made it their duty to tease me mercilessly about being "a fag" and fat. Now they get to dig into an even deeper layer of me as I stood there in all my zoftig nakedness - nowhere to hide, no way out. Not to mention trying to hide my Miller's Outpost HUSKY jeans so no-one could read the size. I'll take "point-and-laugh" for 300 please, Alex. So before this becomes an episode of Oprah, let's get to present day.
I started out in mid December weighing somewhere around (over) 275lbs. This was by far the heaviest I've ever been. My "diabeetis" was out of control, I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted - and I felt like hell. So, I decided enough was enough and stopped eating so damned much. Del joined me too but this isn't his blog so it's going to be all about me...(surprise!)
I started eating lean cuisines for lunch during the week. That was huge right there... I probably ate a days worth of calories at lunchtime alone eating out all the time. It wasn't uncommon for us to go out to eat for both meals each day. Which brings me to dinner - we also started cutting way back there too.
Sometimes we have lean cuisines or salads or little plates of crackers and fruit, etc. It feels good to go to bed a little hungry. You feel lighter, and more comfortable. You wake up feeling better too. I used to go to bed like a bloated whale every night and could barely get comfortable to sleep. Did I mention you want way more sex when you feel lighter/thinner? We would go days without sex when we would eat ourselves into slumber.
Of course there's way more to the story, so stay tuned for my next update... but here are the stats as of today:
STARTING WEIGHT: 275+
STARTING JEANS SIZE: 40
LAST WEIGH-IN: 230*
CURRENT JEANS SIZE: 34
* I haven't weighed in for quite some time (1 month or so). I am guessing I am somewhere around 225 right now.

MassiveLuxuryOverdose.com
I'm in the process of setting up "mlo" on it's own domain: MassiveLuxuryOverdose.com, so some links on the page may not work.

Twitter!?! I don't even know 'er!
blogging. It lets me update my blog with short snippets via SMS (or
other ways).
Why? I don't know - nobody reads this thing anyway... But it's fun and
I'll probably get bored with it anyway... So just play along.
If you really want to stay close to the glamour you can "follow" me
via Twitter (and if you join I can follow you too)... Just click the
link below my "Twitty Litter" to get started.
Who knows - my life might actually get interesting!

Everett Estate-Style Living
This lovely abode was discovered by Helen and I after spreading some glamour up in Marysville. I think the owner of this residence really went the extra mile to make it their own, don't you think?
