A couple of years ago I went up to 240 lbs. I'm 6'1" anyway but that was just too much for me due to inactivity and caloric intake and,... "southern cuisine." I couldn't button my jeans anymore! I'd zip them up about halfway then buckled my belt. I felt like shit! So, I started to look more closely at what I ate and even I knew that it was too much! I started taking less and not stacking up my plate. I remembered reading somewhere that you're "full" when eating about ten minutes before you "feel full." Also, I started "snacking" on small amounts of food during the day so that I wouldn't become voraciously hungry. And, I started *walking* again! Walking is the best thing you can do. I go down to the beach and do 3-4 miles or walk 2-3 miles in the neighborhood. And I try to do it *everyday.* I feel great after a long vigorous walk! Now I'm down to 220 about, I eat less and feel SOOOOO much better! It's amazing to put on a pair of jeans and zipping them up and buttoning them without straining. Also I'm going to the gym again. They said my "ideal" weight is 209 so I'm going to try for that! I've never been an exhibitionist or anything like that so "going naked" doesn't really do anything for me. I just like the way I look and feel when I'm "angular" not "round." I do like sleeping naked when I'm with a woman though. I just don't like the way I feel when I'm up to 240 lbs, it's like carrying a bag of cement (cee-ment in Southern talk!) around with you all the time! And, when they check my blood pressure at the V.A. it's elevated! Now, I'm 120 over 80! I like myself *much better* when there's "less" of me! lol
