Im Tired, tired of being admired.... Tired of my weight, being mired....... Let's face it- I'm tired

SO...i'm skimming about on the internet and I come across the blog of a guy that dropped a huge amount of weight by literally working his ass off...and didn't mind telling the world about it. Not much different from many of the others of these you find flitting about in cyberspace, except this guy, minus about 30 lbs, could be me. (Tyler, 344pounds.com)

He works in a stressful, office environment, he's married with kid, he started out thin and basically athletic in HS (I played golf and performed/taught showchoir and was heavily involved in speech and theater. No slouch here) but then grew. He's sarcastic, practical, and generally seems to be a pretty good all around guy.

Ive been reading his posts, backward, from when he started on day 1 at 344, and im about 3 months down right now. He's not doing weight watching/calorie counting, he only works out about an hour a day, and he still works and has time to be home with his family. So..what the hell is MY problem?

In the last few months i've physically felt pretty good. In August I got on a drug regimen for pain that seems to work well and not turn me into a space zombie, i've got someone at work that has taken a lot off my plate so I can focus on other stuff. I'm a member of an Anytime Fitness near work and there is one near home...what is my major malfunction? The downer of not being in pain is that I haven't changed anything else and i've gained a LOT of weight since August. I was flirting with 300 at the beginning of August, averaging around 288-292. After 3 months of Neurotnin and meloxicam (and paxil, for another thing) I'm not hovering around 318. Im not happy. I'm kind of ticked off.

SO I'm going to make a conscious effort to weigh myself once or twice a week, mind what I eat (within reason), and go to workout at least 4 days a week to start, and hopefully nip this in the bud. There may be pictures....(well, links at least-you know-got to think of the kids) it may not be pretty. But please feel free to ride my butt about it. Ill even put in handrails, to start.

I went to the gym today, and my starting weight this AM was 318.

*sigh*
