My guess is that your 2007 face wasn't quite so slender and lady-killing, especially when paired with with your real-life ginormous belly, am I right, my brother?
Quite right, Eric, old chap.

My face before was piggy looking. Apropos for the lifestyle I was living. I keep thinking about it (ever analyzing this process) and besides eating so much, all I did was lay around. It's no wonder I felt the way I felt, I had checked out of living. Now that I've checked back in--there's no words for how awesome I feel, except for why the hell did I wait to do it?

Oh, and no one has ever described me using the words "tiny waist" before. I think I spotted a tear. I said this the other day in another post, but people don't really know how much their words mean to me. It's funny how the smallest of phrases makes the biggest of differences. Thank you for that.

-Mike

Look at you! Boy, does that picture put things into perspective! I ditched all of my "fat" clothes. I wanted no reminders. I have enough pictures to remind me of my past. I saw the other post about your new job! Congrats!! That is such great news. Oh, and can I be a member of the "It's cancer club"? I drive Vince NUTS with all is my aches and pains. You are such an inspiration and keep up the good work!

OMG! You are cracking me up! You have done freaking awesome. From the pics it looks like you have Fred Flinstone feet...I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I have been told I have "monkey" feet from my beloved Sister who has perfect "Pebbles" feet. Keep up the good work tiny.

My wife calls them "Meat Feet." She said that they look like two steak slabs.
