After 20 weeks, I’m down exactly 100 lbs. The little rise at the beginning of the graph is the time after orientation and before actual fasting. ‘Twas the time of the Brotherhood of Meat.

This has happened so quickly that it’s still all brand new. I’m still shocked that I can cross my legs, so I sit like that all the time. Every time I see myself in the mirror it takes a second to realize what I’m seeing. I can’t wait to see my wife and children again. The last ten years have been physically erased. Hallelujah.

You Hope And You Dream
But You Never Believe That’s Something Is Going To Happen For You
Not Like It Does In The Movies
And When It Actually Does
You Expect It To Feel Different
More Visceral
More Real
I Was Waiting For It To Hit Me

I Still Believe In Paradise
But Now I know Its Not Some Place You Can Look For
Because Its Not Where You Go
Its How You Feel For A Moment In Your Life
And IF You Find That Moment

It Will Last Forever

To quote A-Ha, “I Dream Myself Alive.”

Anyone can do this. If there’s something paining you, please, don’t wait ten years like I did. Fix it. Ask for help. Change your perspective. make it happen. Dream yourselves alive.
