Change Starts Now

I'm finding a bit of a challenge to get enough calories. I know that sounds ridiculous, but you can only eat so much lean beef. I don't care much for chicken. I abhor eggs; unless in cookies or ice cream, but I digress. I'm using protien powder to fill in the gaps, but an amazing thing has happened: physical hunger.

I'm not a person prone to stomach-growling culinary deprivation. I'm in the shape I'm in because my stomach hasn't had a rest in fifty plus years. I'm not the kind of guy to take a chance on getting hungry. I'll eat now and later and then get a snack or two just to be sure. I was like a chain smoker with chips and chocolate.

I've always been an emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy. I eat because I'm sad. I eat to get happy when I'm sad. How's that working for me? Not well. The net result: I'm out of shape and out of touch with my body.

I'm ready to change. My surgery is in nine days. I'm not going to wait. Change starts now.
