Baby it is cold outside

I am having a great time in Melbourne, although on Tuesday I awoke with a sneeze and a sore throat. I soon discovered that I have now contracted the Victorian strain of what I only had a few weeks ago at home. Oh well, life does go on.

There is so much to say, but as I am paying by the half hour today, I won't go into it all.

What I've most enjoyed about Melbourne is walking around and going into shops/cafe's that aren't mainstream. I love the grungy ambiance of a lot of it and really enjoy the time I spend by myself just looking around. I'd enjoy this a lot more if it weren't so damn cold and rainy, but Winter cannot be avoided.

I've been doing a crap load of walking and on Tuesday I did a lot of swimming at the St. Kilda Salt Baths. It was a great time! Tomorrow I am using mr. ralph's free swimming pass the university gave him.

I probably won't update again until I am at home. Enjoy your weekend.

G'day. I have the fortune of dealing with a fabulous internist and also my wifes oncologist. Obesity is a loose term. At 6'1", 337 I was very overweight. Right now I am under 250 and I look like a very large US Football player. Keep in mind, I am getting all the nutrition I need, all the protein I need, and almost all the vitamins I need. A little short on a couple, but vitamin pills work. I am completely hydrated, I use the gym daily and at 500 calories a day I am feeling very good. I would stop this if I felt anything but great. As a rule, gastric bypass patients are no different than I am. They have a smaller stomach and can only digest a small amount of food. That is the basis for this and it works.
Thanks for the concern...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
