I rely heavily on the support of folks like those in this thread. Plus, it took 30+years for me to understand that I am the only one who can make the change, so I have accepted that. And now, I just know how far I have come and don't want to waste the progress I have made.

Soon you will have to face the hardest part. Keeping it off!

That would be true if I were on a diet. But I am not. I eat whatever I am craving, I just control how much or how often I eat it. Yesterday I had a cheeseburger, with all the trimmings. I eat steak, ice cream, pizza, chili, PB&J sandwiches... ANYTHING I want. And I get a lot more exercise than I used to. It is a change of lifestyle, not just a diet, which will help me in the future.

Tom, you look fantastic! If you weren't married, I'd send you a PM!

Congrats on your lifestyle change, and your good looks! You look younger somehow, not just more handsome. Way to GO!

Too many times it ends up as a "diet". You have it figured out and accepted it as a lifestyle change. Good for you! Portion control is a major challenge for me.

Oh my goodness Tom!! Great job!! You must feel a lot better with so much less weight

Keep going...don't give up! You can do it!

You're looking great!
Diet - is whatever you are eating and drinking .......... you never "go on a diet" (What?! - Did you start eating and drinking?!).

You just "change your diet".
