Look at how kids react when they think their Halloween candy was eaten by their parents. Funny but sad! Look at how we are programmed from a young age to become addicted to candy and sugar. Look at the reactions when they think it was taken from them. I know some adults who show the same behavior. What do you think? Comment below!

A while ago, I wrote about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's decision to have lap band surgery to aid him in losing weight. I thought it was time to update the story.
I'm happy to hear that Governor Christie is half way toward his goal. That being said, I still find it hard to accept any kind of surgery to lose weight. I know it's difficult to lose weight as I've been there. Being over a hundred pounds overweight can discourage anybody, but I'm living proof that you can lose weight without surgery.

This past Tuesday I weighed in for my 6th week of the YMCA's wellness challenge. I lost 4 additional pounds since the previous weigh-in. That leaves me at a weight of 241.5 lbs. Since the start of the challenge I have lost a total of 23 lbs in six weeks. Lets see if I can lose enough to break the 30lb mark by the end of the challenge. That gives me 2 more weeks to lose 7 lbs.
I've gone from a 46 inch pant size down to 42's. My target goal weight is still 66 lbs away at 175 lbs. I'm shooting for the end of March (my birthday) and I am confident I will reach my goal by then.

Wow. That's all I have to say. Look at this before picture! I can't believe I was this heavy less than two years ago.
When I look at this picture, it makes me wonder what's going through my mind. This was taken in a restaurant, although I can't make out which one. I can only imagine the kind of food I ordered then.
