I was 230-240 before the Bomb. 38 inch waist. I'm 6-2. I started dropping weight pretty fast, mostly due to stress. Then I saw the light and started eating really well while starting my exercise regimen.

Now I'm at 180, and eating pretty much as much as I want. This is probably a good weight for me. I couldn't run 100 yards for months ago, now I'm doing 5 mile races. I try to run three days a week if I'm prepping for a race, or every day if not. I do 100 bicycle crunches and 100 pushups everyday. And my waist is now down to 32 inches. Simply unbelievable.

And I used to be scared of trying anything new; food, music, movies, books, clothes. Then I realized that nothing seemed as scary as losing my marriage, so I started experimenting.

Life is good. Embrace turmoil and change; make them work for you!
