Losing it slower helps you build new mental models about your relationship with food and exercise, allowing you to succeed over the long haul. Losing weight quickly doesn’t reinforce good and healthy eating habits, it just resets the slate and leaves you to do it all over again. Much as I loathe running, it’s an apt metaphor. With Garrett’s birthday and some other factors, it’s hard to resist eating good, but bad food. I am tantalizingly close to getting below that initial goal line of 300, but it’s hard going. I’ve already past that point, but I’m still working on it. He’s about to hit a milestone age, so, he’s more concerned. Recently, I read that Kev is also doing something about it ( archive). Thankfully, I’m doing something about it. Recently, I spiraled up to 300, where I am now, and I certainly feel it. I quickly ballooned up to 275lbs and hovered there for a long time. I had moved from the Northeast to the Southeast where food was cheap, plentiful and terrible for you. By the time I was an adult, I moved out of my parents house at 250lbs. Back to the point: Computers drove my success at the cost of my body. WeigWait, is this about computers or weight loss?Īh, fair. I had access to a car, or I didn’t need it because my friends were all online, too. No more did I move around to get from one location to another. Summers outside were now spent in a dark room, lit by a solitary monitor. The computer, though, the computer was different. I mean, we already had the S/NES and Genesis to drag us inside, but that was well tempered by our parents insistence on not playing on that for hours on end. That is until the computer entered the collective consciousness of my group of friends. I would also play outside and do lots of outdoor activities. I would spend my time biking, walking, rollerblading (it was the ’90s, okay?) and generally just physically dragging myself from one location to another. When I was a kid, it was a little more under control. I have, for as long as I can remember, struggled with weight.
