An update on me ...
... it has been observed by some peeps that I have lost some weight.  :)
A couple of people have told me that I "shouldn't lose too much more weight".
I thank you all for your kind thoughts and words. I love you all, and appreciate your support and concern.

I want to assure you there is absolutely nothing about the way that I am living my life that concerns "losing weight".
In a nutshell:

• I eat how I eat to keep my metabolic issues well under control, and quite frankly, it's fucking delicious.
• I fast intermittently to help my body deal with metabolic issues, and to help allow it to heal and improve
• I exercise because I want to get stronger, live longer, and achieve the goals I've set for myself.  And it makes me happy.

The fact that I have lost weight is simply a side-effect of the journey I am on.

I have spent 20+ years being stupid, and now I'm cleaning up the mess.  I have no illusions this will be a quick fix.  Memories of being a fatty-fat-fat-fat don't go away.

But for the first time in a long time, I know where I'm going.

I am becoming a functional badass.

I expect my body will catch up, eventually.  And if it doesn't, I've made my peace with that, too.  I'd rather be a badass than simply look like one.

Commentary about the update ...

Me me me me me me me me.

Yes, this entire blog is pretty much about me.  That kind of the point.

A shocking realization ...

I dunno if I can *ever* play Settlers Of Catan again ... #nograinsforme :)

Hey, Mars Inc.?  Pretty much all of your brands are IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING ADDED SUGAR!  And you're concerned that adding M&Ms to a McFlurry is one log to far on the Jenga tower of metabolic disaster?

"We're rethinking being involved with McDonald's frozen McShitstorm, we may just want to stand alone as pellet-sized shitstorms."

It's like turning the amp down from 19 to 17.

It's like Chris Brown considering having one of his songs removed from a compilation album featuring Ike & Tina Turner because Ike Turner is a woman-beating scumbag asshole.  So are you, Chris.

Ranting over.
