I’ve been obese almost my entire life. I lost over 100 pounds in my 20s, but put it back on in my 30s. I’ve been the same weight now for about five year, but I’ve noticed it’s starting to look and feel different around my mid-section. It’s like my gut is detaching from the rest of my body, like now I can pick it up and move it on its own. It’s weird. I know it’s a sign that I am losing muscle tone beneath it. I just wish I had a spouse who was supportive in my weight loss efforts.

At this point, I’m kind of hoping a heart attack comes soon.
