A story about me - ThinnerTimes

willbowski · 01-04-2006, 05:10 PM

I have never been one to talk about myself or seek help for any problems, I have always been the voice of reason and the person everyone comes to for advise or just a good word.

Well like I said before I was a pro wrestler a few years back(I started when I was 18). I have been up and down the east coast west coast and across the seas.

I was able to do things in the ring that guys half my size could not. But now I go through a day of my shoe lace being untied because I do not want anyone seeing me struggle to bend over. I always wore gym clothes even when I was in shape, but now I wear them with a reason not because I like them but because its easier to put on. At work I used to be on a special detail which was a lot of walking climbing getting into small places. I did it with a little struggle getting into the smaller places, but as the weight started to come on in a quick fashion I had to make an excuss as to why I could not go. I felt embarass to say my uniform did not fit me anymore, my bullet proof vest fit on me like a babys bib so i went back to the running the security for the labs and back to sitting at a desk all night.

Well I just thought I would share that story with you, trying to be alittle more open with talking about my feelings.

Thanks for listening.

I am set to have it on Jan 10, 2006. The headache GHI gave me, they denied it twice, I had to send a request to the state health department for them to over rule them. My doctor (PCP) really helped me out. I am a good ol country boy and us country folk from where I come from do not back down from a fight.
