Weigh In: Year 4/Week 8

by John T April 28, 2009

Cross Published on Rejected Reality Slow and Steady wins the race… I don’t know if the tortoise said that or where I heard it, but I alternate between that and Master Yoda (Do or Do Not. There is no Try). The gist of the message is, I’m better off today that when I started. You [...]

Weigh In – April 21st

by John T April 21, 2009

Cross Published on Rejected Reality John had some tough words for himself this past week. No, I haven’t started referring to myself in the third person. Although, that’s not a bad idea. Rather than restating what he already wrote so powerfully, I simply invite you to take a look for yourself… be honest with yourself, [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 45

by Charles April 21, 2009

A Meal to Die For

by John T April 5, 2009

Cross-published on Rejected Reality. As I started getting a fuller understanding of the disgusting lengths I put my body through to maintain a weight of over 400 lbs, the more nauseated I became when I saw others doing the same. In order to maintain 4+ spins, I had to consume over 10,000 calories per day! [...]
