Happy birthday to me. You are 39 years old today and you have been fat since pisshead summer in 94. You at one time had a 30 inch waist and weighed 140lb. Maybe you cant get there again, but maybe you can. Right now, just find time to do what needs to get done, everything else will fall in place. Pray hard, work hard, love hard, have fun hard. 

You are diabetic, and maybe you can never change that, but you dont have to be 240 some punds. You can be under 200, you can reduce your need for meds. Eat well, and when temptation comes, dont fight it, be like bruce lee and go with the flow. Drink water. You have gone a month with nothing but coffee and water. Watch your sugars and your salt. 

Remember when you went back to A&M. When you started, you didnt even know if you would get in. You worked hard for 3 months and got in, but that was not the end of it. You still had to work hard and get the grades. You still had to work and support Jena. But you took it one day at a time. Same here.

Happy birthday old man. 19 and a half years of being skinny. 19 and a half years of being fat and unhealthy. Here is to the next 19.
