brain damage: never forget ...never go back

never forget ...never go back

I truly believe being obese/overweight is a symptom of metabolic disorders and not a cause.

I struggled with weight my whole life. I was a chubby baby, a "husky" kid and obese as an adult.

currently:

6'0"
160 lbs. (highest weight was 325)
BMI 21.7
15% body fat

I am pretty sure that my weight loss has helped in getting control over my diabetes but the main motivator for me was heart health. Being obese, sedentary and a smoker for 40 years I was a walking time bomb. That bomb went off 2 years ago when I had a stroke. I got real serious real fast about getting real healthy.

I'm embarrassed that it had to get to the point it did but proud of what I have accomplished.

brain damage (disambiguation)

Brain damage is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells.

Brain damage may also refer to:

"Brain Damage" (song), from Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
- Roger Waters
