I Joined Weight Watchers

This is not an easy post to write.  It's hard to talk about the fact that I was at my all time heaviest on January 1, 2019.  I know there's probably some value in writing down and sharing the number with the world, but I'm not going to do that.  My weight is a number.  An embarrassingly high number, but a number nonetheless. Here's what I am willing to disclose.  First, let's take a look at this picture.  It was taken at my family Christmas party. I love it and hate it all at once. I love it because this is my family (minus Gage's girlfriend, who couldn't join us because she had a party of her own to attend).  You can tell something just happened that everyone found funny.  I mean, look at those smiles, they're not fake.  There's laugh lines visible on each face.  I love this! But then I notice how I look and some of my joy in this photo fades.  My face is as round as the moon.  My waist is thick.  I look puffy and overweight because I am.
