A few people have openly wondered about photos. I do realize that in the past 80-plus days, I have not posted any photos of myself on this blog. It isn’t because I am not ready to unveil myself or because I am ashamed of how I look. Actually, if you were around for the 100 Days blog, you’ve already seen my photos.

But then, it does occur to me that many of you may not have been around then, and for some reason you still haven’t taken the time to go back through the photos on my site. That’s ok. The link will take you through an exhilarating journey of a super fat man who shrunk down to an acceptably fat man.

Anyway, the reason I haven’t posted any photos yet is because I am not particularly computer savvy. And when I learn things, I forget them. So while it may be true that I have been told in the past how to post photos on Blogcritics (and on my own site for that matter), I have also forgotten all of that. But I do understand the value of photos in something like this. So I promise to make the effort sometime in the next week to figure it all out so you can all see how good looking I am today.

The other reason I am not so hot on sending photos right now is because I haven’t seen that much physical change with the first 30 pounds lost. Certainly I can tell a little bit. My face is a bit smaller than it was at the start. My clothes fit better, I feel like I am carrying around less weight. But so far, no one has noticed any weight loss. (Then again, none of my coworkers noticed that I had gained 30 pounds, either). That’s one thing I am looking forward to with the second half of the diet. As I embark on weights that I haven’t ever seen as an adult, I can only assume that, physically, I will change a great deal. Obviously, I can’t really tell you what I will look like at 240, but I do expect that it will be recognizably different than I look at 270.

But still, as a faithful reader you deserve visual evidence that I am telling the truth with all of these posts (as if I could make this sad story up). So you have my word. I will talk to people who know things about things, and you will see for yourself very soon.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business.

After Tuesday’s post, I thought a little more about the social aspect of this. I can’t get around it at all. I can’t really have a social life while trying to lose this last bit of weight. The other part of that is the money aspect. I have said before that I am trying to save up some scratch so I don’t have to keep living paycheck to paycheck. Well, in my attempt at a social life, I have ravaged my savings account over the last month or so. So I am pretty much back at square one with that.
